Is 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?

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.

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.

Difference between 400cc and 450cc silicone breast implants
Only 50 cc's is a small difference on a smaller chest wall than on a larger chest wall. Listen to the surgeon of choice. Because as Dr. Aldea states they have more experience. Regards.
