Difference Between Anatomicals and Full Projection Round Breast Implants?

Tags: breasts, female, 5 ft 4 in to 5 ft 7 in, 200-249cc, 250-299cc, breast size, C cup, D cup, implant size, moderate

I have McGhann subpec 410s anatomicals (mod proj) 240ccs, 11cm base, from 32AA to 32C, max size surgeon could insert due to BWD.

I like the shape of Left, but R is relatively flat in uper pole/ smaller compared to L. Would Allergan Full projection rounds/ dual plane give me a full D cup and correct the Right side size problem. I am restricted to 265cc, 295ccs or 325cms in rounds TRF/TSF.

I am 5'5", 110lbs, size 8. Is there a difference in cup size between anatomicals and the same volume in Full projection round?

Anatomic vs. Round Implants

It's really very difficult to analyze your problem without photographs... and without knowing your medical/surgical background. You need to make a consultation with a plastic surgeon. I'd like to give you 2 clues: If you are considering to change only the right one, I think it´s a big mistake. Too different! If you are considering the 2 prostheses replacement, be sure that the aesthetic result will be poor too! If currently, with TWO IDENTICAL anatomic... more

Difference Between Anatomicals and Full Projection Round Breast Implants

Review of breast implants

Anatomical or round breast implants

The choice of a round implant or a breast shaped implant (anatomical) is an area of considerable controversy. Yet let me give you my opinion, though again I don't see that there is a right or wrong in this issue. I believe that augmentation of the breast is breast enhancement. The enlargement should be a natural enhancement of the size of the breast. Each breast will have a unique characteristic or personality which can be easily filled with a round implant or 'neutral' implant. The... more

Anatomical implants are not always more anatomical

It's really hard to know where to start with your questions, but part of the issue seems to be that the "anatomical" implants are not really anatomical in the sense of creating a natural breast shape, at least in your case. One possibility for the difference between the two breasts would be a capsular contracture on one side, but I would need more information in order to determine that. Another issue is the unreliability of the cup size system, so there is no good way to... more

Anatomicals and full projection round breast implants differences

It's an impossible question to answer over the internet without before and after photos, medical/surgical history in more detail. I agree with Dr. Rand see in person boarded surgeons to explain the differing implant options. Regards.

Effects of different breast implants

Really, you are asking a very complicated question and with no exam or photos it is not possible to answer it. You should seek the opinion of the best breast surgeons in your area and ask them what can be done. Also, please realize that your own body and its asymmetries may make it impossible to do better than what you already have.
