Recommended 230cc textured teardrop implant - concerns I will not get to a C cup? (Photo)

Hi,
the volume of a particular implant will achieve a different cup size size on different people. the key is to pick the right volume for you, and using a pre op sizing system is a good way to see what volume achieves what look on your frame.
I find this helps patients decide what size implant will meet their needs

Dear Lulu,    Thanks for submitting your picture. From observing your picture, you appear to be perky small A cup size with wide cleavage.   You did not provide your chest circumference measurement in inches, which is critical for the correct selection of implants' size. Let's assume that you are currently  32 small A cup size. To become 32 C cup size , you will need implants with volume of 325 cc. If you follow your surgeon's recommendation , you will become 32 B + only.  You do not have to worry about double bubble deformity, as long as the crease is not lowered excessively. By lowering the crease 1 - 11/2 cm, you can rest assured that you will get a very nice and natural looking 32 C cup breasts by using 325 cc implants.   I do not recommend textured implants because they have thick shell than can be palpable. Also, recently, articles were published about association between textured breasts implants and ALCL - Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. The likelihood is very low, but who needs the worry...   I have been in practice for over 29 years and performed breasts augmentation with implants on thousands of patients . I use almost exclusively and with  great  patients satisfaction, smooth, round, moderate profile, saline implants made by Mentor (thin shell)  that are placed under the muscle through small sub areola incision , which allows for consistent formation of nice cleavage, since it is done  under direct vision and feel.    Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical and natural looking.                                      Best of  luck,                                                                     Dr Widder

Hello and thank you for your question.   Congratulations on your upcoming surgery.  You are a great candidate
for a breast augmentation.  230cc implant is on the smaller side, but many of my patients have been very happy with this size implant. The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon. 
Best wishes and good luck.
