Hello! I just went for a consult/ Pre op with my BA and he wants to do 370cc HP implants. Just some extra information I am 22 years old 5'2 and I weigh 115, my diameter measured 11.5 and I have a super small 34 A cup. I attached my wish pics and honestly want to go pretty big. My fear is wishing I went bigger than 370cc. Do you think that I can accomplish my wish pics from my pre op size with what my PS recommended?

Answer: Implant Type and Sizing Selection Hi krdrochelle, Breast implant type and size selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion of the pros and cons of the various types and sizes. 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 your plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
