I am an athletic distance runner. I am 39 years old two kids, breastfed both. my stats are 5ft5" 135 lbs, I wear a 34A bra and my measurements are 13.5 I'm trying to decide between 375-400 cc moderate plus profile. I love the look of 375 but worried they will be a bit smaller when placed under the muscle.. I want to have some fullness but not too big or uncomfortable that will keep me from playing sports or getting painful to run. I would like to be a full c. Is this a good size for my lifestyle?
Answer: Choosing the Right Size Implant First off, don't focus on cup size as bra sizing can varying so much between manufacturers. Think instead about you want to look. Having said that, both sizes would work on you. It's really a personal choice, but in general, I find that patients who have regrets always wish that they'd gone bigger. Not smaller.

Answer: Choosing Implant Size 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 her needs. Be certain your surgeon understands your desires and you should do great as this operation carries a very high satisfaction rate. Good luck!

Answer: Appropriate size for distance runner? Thank you for the question. Online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical.

Answer: What's the right size for an augmentation Thank you for your question. The maximum size of an implant that can be placed is determined by measurements that your plastic surgeon takes during your exam. The honest truth is that you probably will not be able to tell a difference between 375 and 400 cc once it is inside your breast. I don't typically tell patients that their implants will look smaller if they are placed behind the muscle. If you are lean, which it sounds like you are, then placing the implant behind the muscle will help to create a more gradual and natural contour of the upper portion of the implant. Without pictures or examining your breasts it is difficult to tell if this a "good fit" for your lifestyle, but it sounds like you and your surgeon are on the right track. Best of luck!
