Asked By:Gorgeous830136 in San Jose, California

Hi! I’m planning to get a breast augmentation soon and I’m hoping to get advice from surgeons or patients with similar stats. My goal is to achieve a natural look with fullness, sometimes described as the “sweater boob” look — not overly fake, but with good upper pole and nice cleavage in fitted tops without a bra. I’m between 400cc to 500cc. Here are my details: • Height: 5’1” • Weight: 130 lbs • Current bra size: 34B • Tissue coverage: Not much, petite frame • Placement planned: Under the muscle (UTM) • Desired look: Round, full, soft — natural but enhanced • Is 500cc too large for my frame? Would I be at risk for sideboob or too much projection? • Which implant (Motiva vs Mentor) feels more natural and moves better under the muscle? • Should I consider moderate-plus profile instead? • Has anyone with a similar body type gotten 500cc and been happy with the results? Any insights or before/after examples would be so appreciated! I want to make sure I’m making the right choice for my body and goals. The photos include me from 3 angles and my wish photos Thank you!!
