Will 335cc look big on me?

Question

Hello.. I'm 5,5", 115 lbs, getting 335 ccs, full projection, smooth/round/gummy bear implants with a diameter of 11.4 for the implants on an 11-11.5 bwd for me. I am a small framed woman with some breast tissue but not a lot, and am currently a 32a. It will also be under the muscle. Will this size look relatively big on me considering my measurements?

Dear Lily43143Thank you for your question!  Breast implant sizing is the more difficult part of decision making with breast augmentation. Trying sizers and trusting your surgeon - you will be happy with your choice.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.   Pictures may also be helpful in order to determine if 335cc will be the right size for you.   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.   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.

Hello and thanks for your question. Recommendations for breast implant size should only be made based on your in person consultation. Did you try the implants on for size? Your surgeon will make a recommendation based on measurements and proportions as well as your input with respect to the visual appearance should result in the right implant choice. best of luck!!

Cup sizes are not standard across bra makers, and implant sizing is NOT based on height, weight, BMI, or capsize.  This is something you will need to do IN PERSON with an experienced surgeon to determine what works well for you, and to get advice about if what you like is possible and what to expect with regards to results.  Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search.

This question can only be answered by someone who has interviewed and examined you. That way the doctor giving you advice has the benefit of knowing exactly what you are trying to achieve and also the exact characteristics of your body. During a consultation implants can be tried on to give an approximation of what you will look like following surgery. I also find it useful to search my patient database and the internet to find someone with similar dimensions to the patient who got a similar implant and review those photos with the patient. I find that these are some of the ways to help a patient envision what her final result may look like. Your surgeon is the best person to answer this question for you.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry.
You may be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation surgery. Cup sizes are usually quite difficult to calculate as everyone has a different starting point.
It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually.
There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results.
During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'. You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure.
I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery. I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively.

It is difficult to answer your question without least a photographed.  The only advice I can give you is to ask your plastic surgeon to provide breast implant sizers which are specially designed to give the appearance of breast implants that are placed into you.  The sizers are placed in a bra so that you can get a look and feel how the various sizes will look.
