A: What size of implant...

Implant volume and cup size are not equal in women:  meaning a 5'4" patient versus a 5'9" would have different cup sizes with the same implant.  A surgeon usually asks, and tries to produce, a certain "look" irregardless of final cup size.  Most bra manufactures do not standardize their cup sizes.

The 35cc difference that you are concerned about is a little over 2 tablespoons;  not really much volume difference.  The implants differ in diameter by 5mm (less than 1/4 inch) and no difference in projection.  Basically, they would look the same and not change cup size.

What Are is the Percentage Rate of Getting Capsular Contracture with Silicone Implants

What Are is the Percentage Rate of Getting Capsular Contracture with Silicone Implants

A: Capsular contracture

As the previous surgeon discussed, the rate of capsular contracture with any implant is variable because of all the technical and patient related variations.  However, as a surgeon with over 25 years experience, I have found that attention to detail in the performance of the surgery and using the data and information from published reports over the last 40+ years, have helped keep my rate of contracture in the 2-3% range.

Concerned About Implant Sizing For Upcoming Surgery

I went to see my PS and he said since im tall that i basically can do 450 cc but i felt that was huge against my thin tall body. I did although like the 400cc implant. I am currently 5'9" 145 pounds. If i do the 450 cc will the look like 400 because i am doing under the muscle silicone implants..

A: What size of implant...

The best way you can convey your desires can be using photos of the shape and size you would like.  Unfortunately, surgery is a science AND an art, and you should be as clear as possible with your surgeon so he/she can understand your specific goal.  Though a cup size cannot be guaranteed,  a certain "look" should be the goal.  If you were able to try on some implants at the office, I usually recommend the implant one size up (not cup size) because of the compression of your native breast gland due to the implant pressing against it from underneath.
