What's the Difference Between the "15's" and the "20's" when It Comes to Breast Implants?

Ok so I've been determining which size implants I want...I've narrowed it down to somewhere between the 325 - 350 range. 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.
