5.3, 130lbs, athletic. Currently a 36C or 34D, and stage 2-3 sagging and deflation of upper breast due to weight loss. Getting a full mastopexy + augmentation in 3 weeks. I would like to enlarge to a DD, however do not want to compromise the lift and end up back where I started. If I had to choose I would compensate size for longevity and quality. 250cc-350cc is what the Dr ordered. What will be the result and difference from the two? I desire to be high, tight, and round "as is possible".

Answer: 34C now, getting full lift + implant. Want to be DD, conflicted on size, do not want to compromise the lift at all! Without photos it's very difficult to give any useful advice.It's important to understand that a final cup size cannot be predicted after breast augmentation surgery. Cup sizes between bra manufacturers very and are not standardized.The implant volume of 250-350 cc seems reasonable. It's always a trade-off between going larger versus choosing a smaller implant which has less tendency to cause the breasts to sag and stretch over time.If any questions remain prior to surgery, you should definitely contact your surgeon. You should be able to have all of your questions answered, so that you can confidently move forward with surgery.

Answer: Breast implant size Thank you for your question. First, please be sure that you understand that it is nearly impossible to predict cup size prior to the breast augmentation procedure. I think your surgeon made an excellent decision with the range of implant sizes that he/she has recommended. I almost exclusively perform the full breast lift technique and use modestly-sized implants as to not "undo" the results of the lift. I recommend that you ask your surgeon to "try on" different implants in his or her office to see what look you like best.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
