So I'm getting my breast argumentation done in less than a week. And I'm wondering if 425cc-450cc will be too large for me, but I do like and want big breast just not ridiculously large. I'm 5'2, 105lbs, my breast width is 13cm. I'm pretty narrow in the chest with not my chest tissue but have a bit of breast tissue.. My surgeon suggested high profile 425cc-450cc. And said I'll most likely be a DD or larger.. is this true?? Is this too large?? Also should I get a lift??
Answer: Breast Augmentation Sizing 400+ High profile implants are going to really stand out and look big. You might be ok with 400+ moderate profile.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Choosing the size and type of implant highly depends on your measurements, goals, limitations, and the surgeons artistic vision. It requires a thorough consultation and is highly individualized. There are many methods to establish the size and type of implants. Your safety and long term results are priority. Need to chose your surgeon very carefully to make sure he is board certified and has extensive experience, and he/she has a clear understanding of your expectation. You are a great candidate and should get great results.All the best,

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Hello,Cup size cannot be determined based on implant volume, so your surgeon shouldn't have implied you'd be wearing this bra size, whether he is right or wrong. Cup size is a bad way to talk about augmentation anyway. In-office sizing in front of a mirror will give you immediate feedback how you'll look with a given implant volume. The bra you may be wearing after your surgery is really irrelevant. Beyond your aesthetic goals, tissue based measurements are crucial to ensure your implant choice does not surpass your anatomic capacity. Too frequently both the surgeon and the potential patient talk about breast width as if it were the only measurement used to make this determination. It is not, and it is not even the most important of measurements. You should revisit your surgeon as soon as possible, get measured (not just BWD), and get sized. As an aside, you should also request an inframammary incision and the use of an implant funnel to reduce your risk of capsular contracture.Best of luck!

Answer: Breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Using tissue based measurements to plan breast augmentation, I believe that's the size that you are picking is too big. I also believe that based on your own size and dimensions it will make you look top-heavy. I think the point of breast augmentation Is to try to have enough for results that people don't know that you have had surgery instead of making you look fake and obvious that you've had a breast augmentation. Size is truly a choice that you make and if you'd like to be big, you can push the envelope to about 350 or so but I would not go much bigger.

Answer: Breast augmentation Thank you for your question. The best advice would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon so you may be further evaluated. During your consultation you should be able to utilize sizer implants and then be able to visualize which size implant best helps you achieve your overall desired look. You will also be able to address your concerns, discuss your goals and then together build the surgical plan that will best help you achieve those goals.With kind regards,Lane F.
