Breast Implants: Q&A
Ask a QuestionIs There a Big Difference Between 400cc and 450cc Silicone?
My doctor is suggesting 450cc moderate plus profile silicone implants for me and I am worried it may be too big for me. I am 5'2", approximately 130 pounds. He is proposing 450cc based on the width of each of my breast (13.5cm). Would there be a difference with 400cc?

Breast Implant size differences
There are a number of variables and factors to take into consideration with choosing implant size. There probably isn't a significant difference in absolute volume and width between the two implants assuming you are speaking about the same style. However there are a couple of things to consider. One is that the width of your breasts say nothing about the vertical height or the relative position of the nipple to the inframmary fold. Your surgeon should determine if the width is appropriate...

Difference between 400 and 450cc Breast Implants is About 2 Tablespoons
If you are afraid you will be too big go SMALLER.
Tell your surgeon your concerns.
You, not your surgeon, should decide on the size of Breast Implants. See a doctor who has the Mentor Sizing System and try different sizes and see what YOU like.

Size difference in implant volume
Do not be embarrassed to tell your plastic surgeon that you prefer a smaller implant. Every tablespoon is 15cc so in reality you are reducing the size of you implants by less than 4 tablespoons. I would argue that smaller is safer. Be sure you are visiting a board certified plastic surgeon and if you are having any doubts, get a second opinion. Best Wishes!!

50 cc difference
50 cc's is not a large difference in implants. You can do a baggy test or try sizers on to see how the volume fits in a bra for you.

Difference between breast impant sizes
A 50 cc difference between 2 breast implants at the size you are looking at (400 to 450) isn't nearly as significant as the same 50 cc difference between say a 200 and a 250. So, try on some sizers that are 50 cc's smaller than the actual implants and go with the one you like best!

Should I go bigger or smaller? Breast implant
This is a relatively minor difference and therefore you should not be concerned either way. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon so that you feel comfortable proceeding with your implant choice.

Your Breast Implant Size matters
Your surgeon probably has a good reason to recommend the size he or she has. Size is very important as are the measurements, your aesthetic goals, your natural breast tissue and your surgeons technique and experience. I would echo the previous comments and know that most women before having implants think about the size a lot and this is normal. I would suggest to you that the difference between 400 cc and 450 cc is only 50 cc or a little over an once -- which distributed over your entire...
