I am a very flat chested 32A and 1 week pre-op. I have chosen to go with 500cc saline implants. My doctor said that it’s no problem and I don’t need to worry about stretch marks or rippling but after doing online research it looks like this might be too much? I am 5’5 and 118lbs and have a very narrow body. I’ve added pictures so you can make better judgement.
Answer: Large Implants on a Small Frame Thank you very much for your question

Answer: Breast Implant Size jng97. You are correct to be careful in choosing breast implant size for a natural result because you are petite and have little or no body fat. Large saline implants can most certainly cause rippling and look extremely unnatural in someone like yourself. You can easily obtain a natural result with round smooth implants in the sub muscular plane. Breast with measurements or a key indicator when choosing implant size, but physical examination is always needed. I also like to use the implant in brassiere technique to try different size implants to assist patients in choosing the best size for them. Another nice exercise is finding photographs of breast size that you like, and show them to your plastic surgeon. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: What size implants If you are very thin you can do a larger implant but you will have a more artificial breast appearance in most cases and a higher risk of earlier drooping of the breast. If you have tried on different sizes in your doctor’s office and this is what you liked the best then it may be worth the trade offs. However, I would be more concerned about the risk of visible ripples with saline implants in a very thin person with little native breast tissue. If you really want to do a larger size you will likely have a better outcome with a silicone implant.
