During a consultation I was sized for 220cc low profile implants, as well as moderate plus 235ccs and 285ccs but am torn between the sizes and potentially the shape (round vs tear drop). If I'm 5'1" 97lbs, with measurements: (right) BW ~12.2cm, SSN:N 17.6cm, BH 5.9cm and (left) 12.1cm, SSN:N 17.3cm, BH 5.3cm with IMD 3.9cm, what would be the best size if wanting a natural look but project to a C cup? I'm a 32A now. Would tear drop shape be a better fit?
Answer: Did you really 'size'? When a patient uses sizers in the office, she can see how she looks in the mirror to decide what she likes best. Again, this is determined by her, looking at herself in clothing in the mirror. Once the patient decides which one looks best, then the surgeon determines the appropriate implant based on the sizer used. There is no discussion of bra cup sizes because they are irrelevant. As for shaped devices, they do not offer any more natural look than round (proven in clinical trials), and in the size range and profiles you're looking at, you will have very 'natural' appearing breasts. So, if that's what you were doing in the surgeons office, go back and do it again knowing this information.

Answer: Which implant for you shaped implants are now rarely used for aesthetic breast augmentations. Smooth round implants assume a teardrop shape after a number of weeks after placement.it seems you have done a lot of homework. The next step is to see a board-certified plastic surgeon to guide you through this decision.

Answer: Implant choice should fit within your breast dimensions. Thank you for your photos and measurements. Breast augmentations look most natural when the implant dimensions fit within the breast dimensions/boundarys. Also consider that at 5’ 1 “ 97 lbs, you are petite, so smaller implants will look larger on you proportionally. You have a well shaped breast and don’t need unnecessary addition width, (ie, the low profile implant). I note your left breast is slightly smaller than your right side. Approximately 230cc will make you 1 cup larger, so a bit of additional volume will help you trend more toward a C cup. I believe that a 230 - 255 cc smooth, round moderate plus profile implant should give you an excellent, balanced result. You may consider an asymmetric size augmentation, slightly larger on the left, to help improve your symmetry, if this bothers you. I choose not to use tear drop shaped implants as they must be textured to prevent implant rotation and, though rare, textured implants are associated with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma much more than smooth implants. I hope this is helpful. Best wishes.
