Hi! I am booked in for my BA on June 1 and had a thorough exam with my surgeon, whose work I love. I am an A cup wanting to get to a C and he has recommended a 230cc textured teardrop implant with a 4.9 projection and sub muscular dual pocket placement. He recommended 230cc due to a short distance between my nipple and the bottom of my breast (bigger risked a double bubble?) I'm 5'2 and weigh 120lb. I definitely want natural looking boobs but I'm concerned these might leave me at only a B cup.

Answer: Choosing Implants Thank you for your question. Selecting the correct implant is among the most important decisions in a successful breast augmentation procedure. There are several factors to consider and the placement of the identical implant will not produce the same results in all patients due to differences in: 1. Dimensions of the breast 2. Diameter of the chest 3. Volume of the breast tissue 4. Height and weight 5. Breast shape, including ptosis and asymmetry I rely on 3 methods to advise my patients: 1. Dimensional planning 2. Gel implant sizing 3. 3-Dimensional Vectra imaging system. At the time of consultation, measurements are taken allowing for dimensional planning to select the implant which best fits the base diameter of the breast. Gel implant sizing is performed to allow you to visualize augmentation with the various sized implants. Vectra 3-D imaging has been a very important method in my practice in selecting the correct implant size and shape as it allows you to see what you will look like following augmentation with any of the available implants.

Answer: 3D imaging for breast augmentation I would suggest using 3D imaging to see exactly what you will look like with these implants. You can make subtle changes in implant size to get exactly what you want.
