I'm 24, 5"1, 100 lbs, 34A, no kids debating on cc sizes! I am aiming for full D. I originally wanted 330cc but after doing some research, it looks a little small. I know it looks different from person to person, but it's been giving me a general idea on how it might look on me so I decided maybe 350cc. I wouldn't go for anything 400+ as I have a petite frame and my biggest fear is being top heavy! Any suggestions?
Answer: Dimensional Breast Augmentation Hello,Thank you for your questions and photos. It appears that you are starting from a good place and you will probably gain a lot more clarity from seeing a board certified Plastic Surgeon in person. I would examine and measure you carefully, then recommend implant type/size based on your aesthetic goals and your dimensions. This ensures a result which is proportionate with your frame and natural looking, no matter the size. You are correct in that Implants look different on different people and if you are petite, your ideal implant choices will likely be a smaller range. My patients find it helpful to try on implants in a form fitting t-shirt in the office to get a 3D feel for the volume they like.The next step is to book your appointment,All the best

Answer: Ideal breast size after surgery The ideal size of a breast augmentation is patient dependant. It is subjective like art. With that said all surgeons have a preference as well. I prefer a beautiful, fuller but natural looking result. Other surgeons love the large fake look. In order to make sure that your surgeon gives you what you want, you have to make sure they know what you want. I do a number of things to try and best match my patient's goals and to the implant and the final cosmetic result. At the end of the day you have to trust that your surgeon is going to customize your breast augmentation taking into consideration your breast and body size and goals. The more information, through words, photos and measurement that your surgeon has, the better they can match the results you want. An added step I do is bring several trial sizers to the operation and trial different breast implants to see which is the perfect choice. Several may be good. But good is not the goal. Perfect is! The extra step is worth it.Dr Rodger ShorttOakville Plastic SurgeonDirector of Cosmetic Surgery Training Program &Assistant Clinical Professor,McMaster University

Answer: Implant Not too Big, Not too Small It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “D” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below.#BA#BreastAugmentation#implantsize

Answer: Too Big vs. Too Small Good News- you don't need to decide on your own! At your consultation, you will have the opportunity to be properly measured, and get advice from a surgeon who has seen results from 100s/1000s of operations. Your surgeon will likely provide a range of sizes to choose from, and it is at that stage that you can best deliberate over 350 cc vs 360 cc.Good Luck!
