Style 45 800cc Implant Vs Style 20 800cc?

Totally confused about these. the style 20 is wider than the 45 does this mean it will appear larger? (my PS wants to do under the musle so I know projection is lost) Which of the two will appear the largest? I understand the 45 are the largest projection but comparing the two implants visually the style 20 appears the largest of the 2 because of the width. I want the largest I can get in silicone. I have 659cc moderate plus, and not one bit pleased with this look.

You can maximize anterior projection by having the areola, breast tissue and implant all aligned high on the chest wall in the same horizontal plane. Breast lift will... more

Style 45 vs style 20

Both these 800 cc implants have the same volume The style 45. The difference is that the style 45 has a narrower base and more projection. However, the difference in projection is 6 mm, less than a quarter of an inch. These are similar enough in contour that it might be hard to distinguish between the two even if someone had one of each. My worry is whether this is enough volume increase to make a difference to you. I don't know if it is size alone or something else that leaves you... more

Different types of implants

It depends on what your goals are. The style 45 is rounder and projects a little more. The style 20 is slightly wider, and less "full" in regard to projection. That said, both are quite big, and much larger than your current implant.

Breast augmentation revision

I think you are moving into dangerous territory. What's next, 1100cc implant? I am not sure anyone would be helping you in the long run by placing such large implants.
