Should I Go with 375cc HP or 400cc HP? Does It Make a Much Difference?

What size is best for me, I'm 5'0 ft and wiegh 135 with 30in ribs 10.5bwm. I've been doing some research and i read that the 400hp is like 2cm bigger than the 375cc hp and 1cm more of projection. I tried on the 375 and i liked them, but i was told that i should go 25cc more when going under the muscle, but i'm worried that it may be too big for my built.

How to choose

Show your surgeon photos of breasts that you would like to look like. The surgeon should be able to tell you if this is possible and the surgeon should be the judge of the implant necessary to achieve this result.

Does 25cc make a difference in breast implant size?

Hello. 25 cc is slightly less than an ounce or two tablespoons. Realistically, most people probably could not tell the difference. One piece of advice I would offer is to be cautious when choosing a breast implant size with a base width that exceeds the base width of your breasts. When the implant width exceeds the width of your breast you have a higher risk of visible rippling in the lower, outer portion of your breasts. I usually recommend that patients choose an implant with a... more

Choosing implant size

Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal. 2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle... more

The difference between 375 and 400 cc would be very small

The difference between 375 cc and 400 cc implants would be rather small, to the extent that would be almost undetectable in your case. However, most of time, patients are happier with the larger size since it is augmentation that they are interested in. Therefore, without seeing you in person, I would be inclined to suggest the larger implant. see video

Implant choices

A twenty five cc difference in implants is really small. It should not make a significant difference either way.

25 cc is too little a difference

I agree with the surgeons below.  25 cc is too little a difference.  Show your surgeon what it is you are trying to achieve.  He will figure it out.

Wrong data

You need to talk to your board certified plastic surgeon (American board of plastic surgery) or get one for another consultation. The difference in the projection and the width from the two different size of implants its minimal, 2mm and 1mm (natrelle silicone implants)(1/12 and 1/25 of an inch).  Most patients would prefer going bigger after surgery, when ask, however you need to make a decision before surgery.

Should I Go with 375cc HP or 400cc HP? Does It Make a Much Difference?

25 cc's difference is not really much. You need better implant size discussions. Than I might suggest a large implant. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091

I had slight difference in breast size and my dr went with 375 in left and 400 in right. I can tell a slight difference, but at my follow up he said after they settle he would be shocked if I could tell a difference. I hope he is right I trusted him in the decision making at surgery time. I would suggest the 400 but maybe mod profile plus that way you get the size but not as high. Just a suggestion since I just went through it. Have a great day!
