Best size implant and projection for a petite woman?

Hopefully you were able to choose the implant size you desire after doing a sizing process with your doctor present. I have found this to be the best way of meeting my patients' expectations.

What
implant size should I chose is a very commonly asked question and of course
very important. In general, size is best
be determined during an in person consultation.
The factors included in this determination can be chest size, amount of
breast tissue initially present, skin elasticity, and of course, a patient’s
expectations.I
will say that in general, one year post op, when women are asked if they like
their size, do they wish they went larger or smaller, more than 50% of women
will wish they went bigger. Just keep
this in mind.

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.

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.

There is no true best size but most surgeons would suggest the patient try on sizers or at least perform the rice test to make sure the doctor understands what size the patient wishes to look like. I perform more then 1000 implants per year and on average 300cc for someone your height will only add a cup and a half. Which is fine if that is what you are looking for. You mentioned your a large A and want to be a full C ( somewhat large C) this would typically be in the neighborhood of 350cc or more. But again the art of breast augmentation is the ability of getting in the head of the patient and being able to see what size they believe to be best for them and then weighting the risk based on that size. I wish you luck with your choice. You may want to discuss this more with your surgeon and possibly perform the rice test.
