I've scheduled my surgery in August and am wondering if I should do the larger implants I've been offered. I'm 138lb, 5ft4in tall. Currently I wear a 34B, but am as flat as a board. I have a wide rib cage and moderately wide shoulders. Surgeon suggested anything from 330cc to 415cc UTM Moderate+ Sientra gummy bears. I keep hearing with UTM you lose size. Would I go 415ccs? Do you think I would have a high chance of bottoming out with this size? What would your recommendation be?
Answer: Implants No measurements were given, so I would suggest referring to your surgeon who has examined and measured you. I am not a fan of the gummy implants because they feel hard. I prefer the smooth round implants placed behind the muscle in you for better upper breast fullness and fewer long term risks. There is less bottoming out with implants behind the muscle.

Answer: Implant size Implant selection is best done in person along your own personal expert- your board certified plastic surgeon. I encourage you to return to your surgeon to further discuss implant selection and your goals for surgery. Many have sample implants you can "try on" to help you get a feel for how you may look after surgery.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
