Age: 32 Height: 5 feet 7 inches Weight: 105 lb Breast base: 11 cm I breastfed one child and am now looking to get my breastfeeding-sized boobs back! I have always been a 30A/32AA and looking to be a small B. Two different doctors suggested two different things: - 140 Sientra moderate implant - 200 to 230 Natrelle high-profile implant I want my boobs to look as natural as possible and fit my slender figure. Any thoughts or advice on this? Thanks so much!
Answer: You should perform the rice test to determine what volume will give you the look you want. Don't try to get a certain cup size. Bra sizing varies from company to company with VS often making people seem to have larger cup sizes. Also, a B for someone who is very slender is much less volume than someone who is significantly larger. What you should do is go to ricetest.com and perform the rice test with all your favorite outfits to determine what additional volume will give you the look you are hoping for. Once you get this number your surgeon should be able to measure your breast base width to find an implant that will fit your body well and give you the volume you are looking for. Remember, figure out what volume looks the way you want it to in clothing, don't try to go for a certain cup size. Hope this helps!

Answer: Natural breast augmentation I'd suggest using 3D breast implant imaging. The technology can be used to show the exact implant volume and profile so you can see what each one looks like.

Answer: Implants First choose the volume you want. the profile is then selected based on your measurements. Your surgeon can help guide you with this. I think the 200-230 cc volume would look very nice. Try on both volumes and see what you like. You might even select 175 cc's.

Answer: Implant size and type Dear Calm741761, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Implant selection Profile of implant refers to how much the implant projects from the body. Typically the lower the profile, the more natural the look. You may also consider having the implant placed under the muscle as that tends to provide a less "fake" or obvious look. Many surgeons have sample implants available that you can "try on" to give you a feel for how you may look after surgery.
