Right now I'm a 34AA...I weight 115 lbs and I'm 5'4" I'm torn between the 350 CC's "20's" and the "15's" which are 339CCs. My doctor said the "15's" provide a more "natural" look which is what I'm going for...he said when I lay down they would have more movement vs. the "20's" which are more round. Is that correct? Benefits of each? Pics attached..thanks!

I start with the width of the natural breast to determine the most appropriate width of an implant since the implant should ideally be hidden by the natural breast tissue. Then I chose the least projecting implant, which would be a Style 10 with Allergan. This translate... more

Breast Implant Selection?

Thank you for the question. I think you are referring to style 15 ( Moderate Profile) and style 20 ( High Profile) breast implants made by the Allergan Corporation. Each implant style has different dimensions ( height, width, and projection). The different breast implant profiles available allow for some degree of individualization based on the patient's body type and goals. Although it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct... more
