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: Choosing the right size Some thoughts:Visit with a board certified member of ASPS / ASAPS.In our office the process goes like this 1. Measure your base diameter and use that as a starting point in terms of the change you’d like to see2. We use VECTRA to communicate with patients what a reasonable expectation following breast augmentation will be3. We ask our patients to bring pictures from the internet of the look they are trying to achieve.4. We then select saline or silicone after reviewing the pros and cons of each5. We then discuss the surgery itselfOnce you’ve selected the projection and base diameter - the cc’s are irrelevant. Unless you are dramatically changing the base diameter (or base width) or changing from one projection (mod profile to high profile) to another - you’re not likely to see much of a difference. Too many patients get wrapped up in the numbers (ie the cc’s).Hope that helpsGood luck
