What Can I Expect From 350/375cc HP Silicone Implants? (photo)

I am 105lbs, 5'2", have a 28in rib cage and a BWD of 11. I am looking at Mentor HP Silicone Implants 350/375cc's. Do you think that the 375cc implants would look ok on my frame, and do you think that placing an implant that has a base of 12 on me when I have a BWD of 11 is an issue? (Hopefully not ;) ) TIA

However it won't let me know if that size implant as appropriate for your breast tissue. Measuring the base width and keeping the implant within that size is one of several general principal surgeon's follow to achieve a natural result. If you are set on using an implant at that volume, you might ask your surgeon to consider... more

What to Expect with 350/375 HP Silicone Implants?

Thank you for the question that picture. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing exactly “what to expect” from the breast implant size/profile you are considering. Most of the time, despite years of experience, I do not know what breast implant size/profile will best meet the patient's goals until I'm in the operating room, have placed sizers, and have the patient sitting upright. Furthermore, if you ask 5 plastic surgeons for... more

Predicting cup size from implant volume

With a circumference of 28 inches, each 100 cc implant will be 1 cup size change. 375 cc implant would be almost 4 cup increase in size. After reviewing your photographs, you are approximately an A or B. Assuming you are an A, you would go to about a DD. This may be larger than you desire. This also assumes that your body can accommodate a 375 cc implant in retro-pectoral position, if that is your choice. I do not recommend patients have a preconceived... more
