Is 385 cc too large? (5'10", 145 lbs, 34A, 25 yo) (photos)

Thanks for sharing. I believe you're choosing a pretty good sze that is in the C range and can look natural. When the lower pole is constricted then a few extra steps must be done to expand the lower pole. These can include breast vertical scoring and dual plane release. Since your plastic surgeon has examined you and did not feel 385 cc was too large then it seems like good advice. Smaller breast implants look more natural and perhaps speaking with your surgeon again about this subject is what needs to happen. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Dear tallgirlboobs90:Thank you for posting your photos. It looks like you will likely get a great result from breast
augmentation. I think you would benefit from a breast augmentation with a
dual plane technique. If you indeed have a mildly constricted lower pole, you may need a radial release to relax any internal constriction bands to help expand the lower pole of your breasts.  Of course, a physical exam is needed to give you any formal recommendations.  In terms of picking the right implants to
achieve your
goals, generally speaking, I consider two
factors when selecting implants for my patients:1. Dimensional planning2. Gel Implant Sizing systemDimensional
planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the
breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of
each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these
measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a
unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there
are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some
implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can
review this with you during the consultation.Gel Implant Sizing
system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will
be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and
sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery
which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you
longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a
range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural
fuller look. Hope this helps.Dr. BasuHouston, TX
