I am scheduled for a BA in 3 weeks and am still nervous about the size and projection chosen. I have a narrow frame, am 5'0, weigh 107lbs. Based on my hips being a little wider than my chest, and my measurements, my doc chose 300cc HP. Does this sound right? I am currently a 32A (largeA) and would really like achieve at least a full C.

Answer: Implant volume and bra size At size 32 A each 100 cc's of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. To achieve a C you would require 200 cc implants. 300 cc implants would take you up to a D. I always recommend small silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. The profile of the implant is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it. Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs. Sometimes patients require a simultaneous lift if they have drooping breasts.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: How to choose your best implants There are many ways to select an implant. If you are as petite as you describe, then a high profile implant is probably good for you. A high profile implant is narrower than a medium profile implant for the same volume. This is useful if you have a narrow chest as you seem to imply.As to the final cup size, 300cc could do it. The best thing is try on sizers and get measured to get an estimate (not a guaranteed) of approximately what will be your final cup size.
