Iteld Plastic Surgery - Chicago

We frequently have patients ask about choosing implants with small volume changes. The reality is that the 25cc is such a small volume in relation to the 325/350 of the implant, that most people could never tell them apart after surgery. If one is going to be too large, so will the other (and vice versa). First, I want to assure you that if doesn’t really matter between 325 and 350cc. If you are concerned about being too large, go with the smaller device, that way you have peace of mind- and if you are concerned about being too small, go with the larger size.

Neither rhinoplasty nor breast augmentation tend to have a significant blood loss, but as with any surgery, anything is possible. I would recommend coordination of care and risk assessment between you potential surgeon and your hemotogist/ GI provider,

It is very difficult and imprecise to recommend a breast implant based on bra sizing. Manufacturers do not use uniform measurements- The same bra size often fits differently between manufacturers. We recommend using a combination of volume sizing using silicone overlays and measurements in conjunction with 3D imaging to give our patients the best information to select their final implant size.

Thank you for your question- it allows us to address a very important question. When choosing breast implants, there is not formula to choose implant volume or profile simply based off of height and weight or based on bra sizing. We believe that it is most useful to go through a sizing process using either silicone sizers and/or 3D imaging with your plastic surgeon. This allows you to work with your surgeon to select implants to achieve your specific aesthetic rather than a more nebulous result. Unlike on-line ordering where you can simply return something that doesn’t quite fit right, selecting a breast implant requires in-person shopping…. lol.
