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 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.

Answer: 105lbs, 5'2 height, 13cm breast width. Will 425cc-450cc be to big? Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Breast lifting does not appear to be necessary.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, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural look” or "D or DD cup" or "too big" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
