I am currently 32b with lean athletic build. 5"6 and 126. Size 0 or 2. I am thinking I want full C maybe small D but I do not want to go too big or too small. I know approximately 50cc goes behind muscle. Is there a big difference in the size of those two implants? I work out 7 days week. And I am a health professional. I am also going silicone, moderate profile. Measurements are 32-25-35. Thank you.

Answer: Which size?
Thanks for your question. Photos would be helpful. Both sizes mentioned are likely to achieve a solid augmentation and most likely in the D range. Based on your measurements, a final cup is better determined after performing an examination with a qualified plastic surgeon. Perhaps using a volume sizing system will help you feel more comfortable deciding from your choices. Silicone is known for creating the best cosmetic results. Be sure to consult with several surgeons and choose the one that best matches your goals. It is always better to give yourself plenty of time to choose the best size and not rush to surgery. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Answer: 450 or 500?
The dimensions of the two implants are so close that it really shouldn't matter much. Size with external sizers and go with what makes you comfortable. I have found adding 10% to the sizer often produces the result you see with the sizer in the unpadded bra cup. As for over or under, if you wish to work your chest muscles (like the professional body builders), going above the muscle is probably better. Yet, there are many advantages to going under the muscle and if you can deal with the limitation on chest muscle strengthening, you certainly can consider a submuscular placement. Finally, whenever my patients are torn between adjacent sizes, I always recommend going with the larger ones and in my career, I've never been wrong on that.
