I'm currently a 34B bra size. I know just describing myself won't give me the best recommendations, so I am posting some photos with this question. I'm currently considering going with 415cc saline gel implants. My goal is to go a cup size larger. Is that too large, too small?
Answer: Breast augmentation Hello, if you only want to increase one size a smaller implant would be fine, but based on my experience a 415cc implant will make your breast look fuller and lifted. You should always have an appropriate consultation so that the surgeon can measure you and determine the correct size for you. Always make sure you look for a certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Implant size Hi, thank you for the question. Choosing implant size is one of the more challenging steps. Often people are a bit indecisive. To narrow it down and help patients choose the right size, we typically ask them to bring in wish pics with someone has a similar frame. During consultations we take measurements of the chest wall to coordinate what size would give you the desired look. Most patients go up by one size because commonly after surgery they always say "I wish I went one size bigger" for information to help you choose, check out our webpage. Lots of information about silicone vs saline, about under the muscle or above.

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants At size 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. It would only take 100 cc implants to go from a B to a C. 400 cc implants will take you up 4 cup sizes. Also, 400 cc implants weigh 1 lb each and will descend inferior and laterally. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Implant size If your goal is to only go up one cup size then the implants selected are likely too large. I encourage you to discuss your goals for surgery with your surgeon. Many offer sample implants that you can "try on" to get a feel for how you may look after surgery. Volume is only one consideration when selecting an implant. You must also consider type, style, and profile. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
