Does 400cc Saline Implant Vary from Person to Person? (photo)

If you want a B-cup, you shouldn't go larger than 250cc.  A 400cc implant will likely make you a D-cup.  Communicate your desires clearly to your surgeon and hold those implants in your hands to make sure you choose correctly. Good luck.

Thank you for your picture. The 400 cc implants will vary from person-to-person based on their height, weight, chest width and breast tissue or lack there of. I will revisit this with your plastic surgeon to make sure that you are incomplete understanding of him/her and he/she is in complete understanding of your expectations.

You are correct that the same implant can look different in different people. In general for a person your size, an implant that size will probably take you to at least a C-cup or more. If you are unsure of your surgeon's recommendations, seek a second opinion.

A 400 cc implant can be low moderate or high profile. The high profile will be narrow and projecting, the low profile will be wide and flat. So first be sure that you know what style implant you are getting. Cup size varies from person to person and from bra to bra. It is also affected by how much tissue your starting with.  I always recommend that my own patients try on implant sizers to see if they like the volume on their own frame. It sounds to me like this would be a good exercise for you.  Discuss it with your plastic surgeon.  You may also wish to discuss a silicone implant.  While there are pros and cons to each implant to a silicone implant generally tends to look more natural. When in doubt, delay your surgery.  You don't want to go through this without being comfortable with the size that you are choosing. I hope this helps.

350 cc implants are much larger than you are desiringIn breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing
photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and
shape. Many times this simply raises
more questions. I will make measurements
and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes
that are reasonable for their body type and measurements.
