I am 5'4 150 lbs, I am pear shaped and currently wear a 34A. I am having implants this summer. I'm worried implants will make me look fat. Any size suggestions to keep from looking blocky?

Answer: Will implants make me look fat? Though most patients come in seeking breast augmentation to better balance their body proportions, some are worried about looking "heavy" after surgery. I find that this perception varies from individual to individual and so if your priority is to make your breasts larger, be careful to not over augment yourself to decrease this risk of your perceiving yourself as "fat." I am a strong believer in achieving balance and nice proportioning without overdoing the size of the implants, but I ask my patients to show me examples of breast size that is appealing to them to give us a target. In my practice the average implant is probably in the 320 cc range. Many of the questions here on RealSelf seem to relate to implants of 450-600 ccs + and this worries me due to long term negative effects of such large implants for those patients.Goals for my patients generally vary from becoming a mid C cup to a full C cup. Bring photos with you to any consult that reflect your goals and review them with your chosen ABPS Bd Certified plastic surgeon. After, take some time to think about your choices before committing to proceed. Best of luck and enjoy your results.
