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.

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).

Twenty five cc's amounts to about 2 tablespoons and you may vary even more with menstraul cycle so in reality it is not so I assume he will be around if not busy.

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
