So after my last question I realized that u cannot ask for a size, but u can suggest a look you may one to come close to. In my initial consultation I was deciding between a 397 and a 421 silicone implant. (natrelle). Is there a huge difference between the two? I am 5'2'' 115 pounds. The first two photos are my current size and the other two photos are what I am looking to kinda be. Are the sizes I have chose to large for my body size?

Breast Augment

That huge difference between implants you are considering is about 5 teaspoons. Put that way it's not so big. But you should definitely not be the one deciding on implant size. You won't really have a good idea of what an implant will look like behind the breast tissue and muscle until it is there. That's why you have an experienced surgeon who will take several sizes to the operating room, then during surgery will actually insert different size test implants until he/she finds... more

The ideal look for you after breast implants

It is difficult to know the size of the implant without the benefit of an examination, and often 'sizers' at the time of surgery to guide implant selection will help us reach the 'number'. The pictures however are excellent and your surgeon will find the information very helpful to reach the ideal look for you. Little difference in the 397 and the 421 but the day after you will know what was best. If you look close to the ideal does the number matter? Best of luck,... more

Difference between cc's in breast augmentation

This is one of the most common questions I hear from breast augmentation patients. Trying to decide between two sizes can be a difficult decision. The difference between these two implants is less than two tablespoons. I usually advise my patients who are trying to decide between two sizes, to select the larger of the two. It’s difficult to say based on your photos if those sizes are too large for your body. That decision is best made after a full exam... more

Ideal Look

I actually think that the sizes you selected WILL actually get you close to those desired photos. Now to reiterate what other surgeons have mentioned, a fixation on a number is not heatlhy, Recent software programs with Allergan and Canfield have have created an excellent PREVIEW of what you would look like ahead of time. Look for a local office that may have the Vectra software and you will see if what you want is what you may get. Good Luck, i hope all works out well for you. more

If I can only base my response on those self photos than I GUESS the larger size. But only a guess. Best to be seen IN PERSON.

Don't Obsess About CC's Or Cup Size

You should not obsess about either cup size or cc's when having breast augmentation. There is no standard cup size. The difference in 397cc and 421cc is less than two tablespoons. Try on implants and get opinion of your plastic surgeon so that you do not select an implant which is too large for your breast(s).

The Look-

Given the different styles of implants available currently, either in silicone gel or saline- your desired look can be variable even with the same "cc" volume. A more thorough approach is to assess your breast measurement against the implant dimensions/measurements. This may give you more information to determine what is best for you.

The difference between the two implants is minimal. AS for the "look" it is hard to say without an exam, besides everyone looks different with the different implants.

Implant size

Thank you. You were specific in your questions.1. The difference between the two sizes you menteioned:I can tell you the difference is too small around 25 cc only, in larger implants this too trivial difference won't make a difference n the final decision. 2. The answer for: if they are too large for your body, iIhave to tell you it's difficult to answer this question without thorough understanding of your expectations followed by detailed examination and discussion, and all... more

Ideal Breast Size

Thank you for the question and pictures. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give you as precise of advice as you're looking for without examining you. However, some general words of advice may be helpful.... The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of... more
