How to chose the right size breast implant

The 400's will make you curvier, the 350's maybe a bit... more

Best implant size

Both are big. Which is best?

If you tried on sizes with your surgeon and arrived at 350-400cc, you probably wanted to be a big as possible. If you want to look more natural, go with the smaller size.

If you are unsure, talk further with your surgeon until you are comfortable with your choice. more

Implant Sizing

With regard to implant choices to enlarge your breasts, there are a number of things to consider. Your chest circumference and breast width are very important factors when choosing an implant.  The best thing to do is to try on some sizers in a non-padded bra at your plastic surgeon's office to figure out what you think looks good. Don't get hung up on cup size or even implant size. After you've made your decision, ask your surgeon if he or she thinks the implant you've picked would... more
