Best Breast Implant Size for Me?

Thank you for the question. I would suggest that you concentrate on achieving a certain “look”, not a specific cup size, with your breast augmentation surgery. Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon is able to accurately predict what cup size you will end up wearing after breast augmentation with a certain size implant. As you know, you may end up wearing different bra cup sizes depending on who makes the bra. I would suggest that you communicate your goals with... more

375cc vs. 400cc is an undetectable difference (less than 2 tablespoons)!

Instead of worrying which of these two choices is better, you should be asking if EITHER of these will achieve a 2 cup-size increase! (Because I don't think they will.) Generally, it takes about 250cc to equal one bra cup size for your height, weight, and bra size, so you wil be adding about 1 1/2 cups to your present bra size--falling short of your goal size, and possible leading to the number one reason for re-operation after breast augmentation: new (larger) implants. And this... more

Choice of implant size.

These two implants are hardly different, so don't be too concerned about this part of your decision. Hopefully your surgeon feels that the width of those implants is appropriate for the width of your breast tissue. There are no fixed definitions of cup sizes, so when you try implants on in the office, see what looks good, and have your surgeon help choose the right size, which may be a bit larger than what you try tired on. Good luck to you. more

Which Implant will give me the best result?

Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted. Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra. Outward projection is further determined by the "profile" of the implant. High school geometry: Height (projection) times Width (base width). A Higher Profile implant will give you a... more

No difference between 375 and 400 cc implants

There is virtually no detectable difference between 375 and 400 cc implants in the same profile catagory. The 400 is just a couple of milimeters wider. Cup sizes cannot be predicted or guaranteed from any implant. Go for the "look" you want, not a cup size.
