Based on these photographs it appears that 400 cc is well within the range that you would be pleased with. The best thing to do is to try on sizers. Only you can know exactly what will look best based on your perception breast size.
Thanks for your inquiry but without an exam or measurements it is impossible to advise. If you are having consultations with board certified experienced plastic surgeon they will make sure you to advise you if you are going to big for your tissues to handle. Good Luck.
The limiting factors for implant size are (1) your skin envelope and (2) your chest width. For example, if you have loose skin (usually the result of weight loss, pregnancy and/or breast feeding) you can generally accept a larger implant. Similarly, if you have a broad (wide) chest (breast) you can tolerate a larger implant.Conversely, if you have *not* had children and you have very little breast skin, you will be limited to a smaller breast implant. In some cases, a tissue expander can be used to temporarily stretch the skin to facilitate a larger breast implant; this technique is used for breast reconstruction and in certain augmentation cases (e.g. tuberous breasts), but this would be rare.I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon who is comfortable with placing the largest implant you could tolerate based on your measurements. If this is not big enough for you once you have fully recovered (at 3+ months) you could then have them exchanged for larger implants now that your skin will have stretched sufficiently.
I think that the only way to see what size is appropriate for your body shape and dimensions is to be examined in person. Best of luck.
Thank you for the question and pictures. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant type/size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" or "too big for me” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery ( after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers).I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes.
Given what your breast size goals are, 400cc implants should be able to achieve that look with your body type. The best test however would be to try on volumetric sizers to be certain it may not be too big.
Breast sizing has more to do with the look and feel of the breast and breast volume rather than the actual cc's on the implant. If you like what is in the photos your present, then show your surgeon, and also buy the bra that will hold the volume you like and try things out at home with clothing. Remember the implant must fit within the available skin envelope to avoid a double bubble, or a very high appearing implant. Good luck,
During your consultation, you will be measured to see what range of sizes would be best for your body. You may also try on "sizers" too see how well it fits and feel the weight. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing all your concerns.
The best cosmetic result in any particular breastaugmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Yourindividual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with theplastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons ofany particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number ofcc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width,height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be consideredwhen choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes andvolumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperativevisit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. Thecups of a 32 D and a 38 D are significantly different. Cup size varies frommanufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particularmanufacturer.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any otherwebsite who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you,physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a fullmedical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedurewould not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeoncertified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of theAmerican Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and arecomfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California

It's a great question. Many offices do offer financing options. In my office we offer payment plans through CareCredit and Alphaeon. These are third-party credit companies that offer our patients no interest financing for six months. In the attached link you'll find links to their website. Many ...
Thanks for your question. Generally, a more projecting implant is better with breast reconstruction. Patient dissatisfaction after reconstruction with implants is usually centered around a lack of projection. I would also recommend that you consider the new extra projection...
Implants are meant to withstand all of the same stresses that you can tolerate. They should not limit your physical activity.
