The best cosmeticresult in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety offactors, including: your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thoroughdiscussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding ofthe pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not justabout the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions whichinclude the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all needto be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” ofvarious shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sitat a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimalimplant.There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. Thecups of a 34 D and a 38 D are significantly different. Cup size varies frommanufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particularmanufacturer.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any otherwebsite who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you,physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a fullmedical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedurewould not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeoncertified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of theAmerican Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and arecomfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon inperson. Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. It is good to have wish photos to show your Plastic Surgeon the look that you are after. I recommend that you focus more on achieving that look that the specific CC's because it may take a different volume to achieve something like that on your frame. Your Plastic Surgeon will measure your breast and discuss your aesthetic goals with you, Then recommend a small range of implant sizes to choose from. My patients find it helpful to try on the implant sizers in the office with a form fitting T-Shirt in order to get a feel for how they will look. Be sure to choose a board certified Plastic Surgeon.
