Im 5’9, 150lbs currently 34B. I’ve breastfed my 3 children so my 34B is pretty deflated. My breast augmentation is in 2 weeks. I decided on 450cc filled to 475cc moderate saline implants. I’m going for a natural look but still want them to be big and full considering my size. Should I get 500cc to 525cc to achieve this desired look?

Answer: Breast augmentation, 500-525cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Breast Implant Size Dilemma I appreciate your concern, however I would not elect to go to large with saline implants if you are still desiring a natural result. Ask your surgeon about possible dual plane technique, as this provides some lift as well and may allow you to achieve your goals without extremely large implants.I try to tailor each breast augmentation operation to my patient's desires and body type. There are pros and cons regarding saline and silicone implants, and patient anatomy and preference play a role in selection. The same is true regarding implant projection. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and go to your consult with all your questions written down so you don't forget to ask something. Good Luck!
