Hoping to achieve a natural looking full breast. I completely trust my plastic surgeon and based off the sizers I tried, I liked the profile of the 450cc sizer and have been recommended 470cc extra high profile. After googling this size of implant I've come across some very natural looking and some very fake looking breast, just want to make sure I'm making the best choice. Thx

Answer: Unable to predict if you will look exactly as what you desire as the sizing is only designed to give you an idea of what volume you will have. Implant style (mod profile/high profile etc) is then selected based on your breast dimensions and if needing any diminishment of your space between the mounds. When my patients size with unlined bras, I prefer to add 10% to the volume which would bring you closer to 500 cc's but the 30 cc's difference is not considered significant.

Answer: 470 CC extra high profile Thank you for your question.I think you will achieve the results you wish or maybe larger. But rather than focusing on the type of implant profile or the number of cc's or bra cup size (with is inaccurate and manufacturer dependent), I would recommend you communicate very clearly your expectations and desires. Your plastic surgeon will decide with you on the profile of the implant based on the breast width, your body shape, skin elasticity and thickness and native breast tissue present. In my practice I usually explain the implant types, profile and rationale for using different implants/ profiles. I also use the a special sizing system pre-op and have patients try them inside a bra so they can get a sense of their look. I never tell them what size I have picked until they show me the "look" they REALLY desire by trying on the sizing system in our office. Then we sit down and evaluate "the look" they have chosen and see if it matches what I have chosen by measurements and physical exam. It does make it both fun and is a healthier partnership between patients and the PS. Speak with your plastic surgeon.
