Breast Implants: Q&A
Ask a Question
375cc or 400cc Moderate Plus Breast Implants to Get C Cups?
I'm having surgery on the 19th of February. I have seen my PS twice about size. I'm 5'5", 115lbs. My BWD is 12.5 on one side and 12.9 on the other. My ribcage is 29 inches (so 34A as of now). My PS said I was a small to medium A.
I understand that he does this all day every day, and we discussed 375cc and 400cc. Please help me to decide which Breast implant would look best on my frame! I don't want to be too big or look silly.

375 vs 400 cc breast implants
There will be little to no difference in the final size between the two implants. Many patients agaonize over these small differences and don't need to. If anything pick the 400 becasue you will otherwise wish you had gone for the larger size.

No difference between 375 and 400 cc breast implants other than mental
The only difference between these 2 implants is in your mind. You'd look basically the same with each.
Ask yourself whether your greater fear in a year is thinking you might be a tiny bit too small or too big and this one question will tell you which of these 2 implants to choose. Go with 375 if you want to be sure it's not to big etc.
Then go forward and never look back regrading size as you have done all you can to control it.

Implant size and cost
It doesn't matter which size you choose, as there is little difference. You could put one on one side the the other on the other side, and probably not be able to tell the difference. Pick a size and don't second guess yourself.

Implant sizing
There is an imperceptible distinction between the two implants. Depending on the fill, they will achieve essentially identical results. I find that many patients regret not going a little bigger but this is a personal decision. Focus on implant size and shape that best fits your frame and trust your plastic surgeon's judgment in this regard.

Breast implant size
It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired...

How to pick breast implant sizesView Edit
Answer by George J. Beraka, MDManhattan Plastic SurgeonContact the doctor1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.

There is not much difference betwwen 375 and 400 cc
You should trust your surgeon about the size as you trut him to operate on you. The size is one of the aspects of the breast augmentation and you should let your doctor to help you make your decision. In general bigger the implants ,more complication after the surgery including the thinning of the tissue,more sagging and also more risk of shifting. Your surgeon can suggest the best size based on your skin type,amount of the breast tissue and your body frame.

Choosing the best breast implant for you
Hi there-
I agree with my colleagues that there would be no perceptible difference between the two implants you list...
You should also realize that micromanaging these decisions is not in your best interests... choose a surgeon carefully, communicate your goals well, and then trust them to do what they do.

Breast Implant Sizing
There really is no difference between those two implants. You are talking about 1 shot glass equivalent in a 12 shot glass bowl. So as you can see there is not much difference between the two sizes.
Your plastic surgeon will decide in the operating room as to the exact final volume, but you are pretty much there.
Good luck and enjoy.

A 25cc difference in breast implant size is insignificant
25cc barely fills a shot glass of Tequila. At least here in Texas. Remember that your surgeon needs a little room in surgery to choose what looks best on you.
I won't let my patients choose a specific implant size, but encourage them to select a size range that meets their desires.

375 or 400 cc breast implants
It might be helpful for you to recognize that 25 cc is less than 2 tablespoons, and cup size is a highly variable way to measure breast size. It is based on the size of the chest as much as the breast, and the final breast volume is implants plus your exisitng breast tissue. Best advice is to forget about cup size and try sizers on to see what looks right. Your surgeon can then determine which implant will give you that look (it will probably be slightly larger than the sizer).

Implant choice for breast augmentation
25 cc difference between the two implants is not a lot, and I would challenge other doctors to guess the difference in a head to head competition. I think most would agree. Focus on the shape and the relative volume. Good luck.

Implant sizing for breast augmentation
There's such a small difference between 375 and 400 cc that you'll be fine either way. I would leave this to your surgeon's discretion. I personally put in the larger size if the patient's tissues can tolerate it, as most patients do prefer to be larger; it's very unusual for anyone to come back in wishing they were smaller! I suspect that you'll be happy either way. Good luck.

The perfect implant size in breast augmentation
The truth is that there is basically no detectable diffference between 375 and 400cc. The difference is two tablespoons and probably less than the variation in size that you commonly experience with a menses. Typically, in the average A cup, a 350cc implant will take you up to a full C cup. However, I have had patients with smaller implants go up to a D so it truly varieys by individual, clothing preference and designer.
