Hi! I'm 158cm and my weight is 59-60 kilograms. Today my cup-/bra size is 70 B, if it's a padded bra or a push-up. My breast base is 12,5 cm, the implants I have chosen now is 11,75 cm (375cc). The doctor I went to recommended 400cc for me, it felt big so I took a smaller implant. My question: Is it better if I choose a implant that is closer to my own breast base? 12 cm (400cc) or 12,25 (425cc) or 12,5 cm (450cc)? The feeling in my tummy says: Go for 425cc What do you think?

Answer: Breast augmentation with Motiva Round Full implants (375cc, 400cc, 425cc or 450cc?). Any suggestions? Thank you for your question and photos. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of know words such as “natural” or "C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link/video, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: Base width and implant selection Thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.When talking about the base with millimeters in some cases do not matter in the long scheme of things. The safety of the procedure is based on the evaluation of the lateral and inferior attachments that will allow the implant to stay in place at the same time that it provides the desired outcome that you are looking. Finally, make sure that you have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Wishing you the best in your journey
