Are my wish boobs (Charlotte McKinney) realistic for me? I’m 5’4, 120lbs. (Photos)

From your photos and description, it would appear that you should be able to accomplish your desired result. I agree with your decision to place the implants under the muscle, as this will limit potential problems in the future. While the difference between the implant and your breast tissue will be felt, it should not be visible. If you wish to minimize the difference, consider using silicone implants. See an experienced surgeon to discuss your options.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..based on your photo, I see you are a good candidate for breast augmentation, your case is ideally a consultation in person by a certified plastic surgeon who will see and evaluate you in person to determine the amount of cc you need to achieve that result.

Hi looseconnection01,
Breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. 

When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.

Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.

Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.

You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

With adequate breast tissue to cover an implant, as it appears you have in the photo, I think you’re expressing realistic expectations and desires. An in person exam would certainly assist with expectation management. All my best. 

First let me say thank you for your question. I reviewed your pictures and believe you should get a great result with just implant and that your wish picture should be achievable. The FDA recommendation is for individuals 22 years of age or older but physicians are allowed to place them in patients younger if the physician believes it’s warranted. It is just an off labled use which is allowed. We have placed many in patients younger than 22 when the need arises. You should do well though. Best of luck. Have a great day I hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I do think your expectations are reasonable and should approximate those results if you select an implant the best matches your chest dimensions.  Be sure to see a series of ASPS board certified plastic surgeons in consultation to discuss.

Looseconnection01.  I appreciate your concern, because size does matter when seeking a natural looking result in breast augmentation. I ask my patients to bring in photos of breasts the size they desire, because there can otherwise be confusion because B or C cup can vary greatly by brassiere manufactures! I also utilize the implant in the bra technique, with several different implant sizes with a tighter fitting T-shirt to get an idea of what you will look like. Finally, I prefer to meet with my breast implant patients at least twice before surgery, so I am confident that I know exactly what her desires regarding shape and size are. I then have several sized implants in the patient's desired range available in the OR to allow me to tailor the operation to fit her needs. It appears from your photos that your expectations and desires are reasonable for that particular size.  Be certain your surgeon understands your desires and you should do great as this operation carries a very high satisfaction rate. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Based on your pic- you can get possibly close to your wish pic. In order to give you the best answer - a physical exam is essential. Keep in mind that you have asymmetry, that may not be completely correctable.

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate
for a breast augmentation.  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.  This entire surgery
can be performed with a small incision technique.  Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Yes, Charlotte, this is a realistic “wish boob” for you judging by your photos. Your existing breasts are asymmetric in size and shape, so you may require different size and shaped implants for optimal results. You have a sizable breast to start, so a good Plastic Surgeon should be able to meet your B.F. goals.
