I’m looking to get a breast lift and implant, I am really really struggling to choose which moderate implant and cc I should choose. I’m currently 5,3 65kg. I am extremely active I do weightlifting and horse riding so needs to be comfortable with my activities. I don’t want to exceed bra size 32d Can you advise which implant would suit me please - I’m really struggling to choose.

Answer: Implants with breast lift You have to feel comfortable with your plastic surgeon when selecting implant size for your goals. Depends upon your body and breast measurements during consultation, We use intra op sizers also to simulate the lift augmentation to confirm implants discussed. Typically this will be in 350-400cc range, we usually use high profile for better fit. Again, exam and consultation with your/a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations until you feel comfortable.

Answer: Sizing Patients often think in terms of cup size when considering augmentation. Unfortunately, devices are sized in terms of milliliters (cc) of volume. This can lead to some confusion when sizing. Additionally, it is important to remember that cup size itself is not standardized with variations from one manufacturer to another. Unfortunately, as many women can attest their cup size in an industry leader such as VS is not necessarily transferable to another brand. Another point which is often under appreciated is that of anatomy and starting point. Any implant will add volume to the volume which is already present. The implant is additive. A particular volume will not necessarily confer the same cup size to different patients (often times it will not even confer the same cup size to different breasts in the same individual...remember they are "sisters" not "twins"). A general rule of thumb is that 125cc can represent somewhere between 1/2 to a full cup size increase. Smaller volume differentials (25-50cc) are typically less consequential representing a volume change of less than a shot glass. However, I have found these numbers, at least anecdotally, to be of little help. Patients often present with notions/goals which do not correlate with these sorts of sterile volumetric assessments. When sizing patients, there are a number of useful tools including: -3D imaging (has the added benefit of offering a volumetric analysis of the pre-operative breast) -Breast sizers (rice bags) -Goal photos I also recommend that patients commit to a particular look rather than a cup size. Once a patient settles on a look that pleases them the overall cup size increase becomes less relevant. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
