I don't want to go too big for my frame, but my PS recommends 450cc for me. I am torn between 400 and 450 but not sure if it would make much of a difference anyhow. Here are a few pics of me. I'm getting HP, and wondering if the extra 50cc would give me that much more projection.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Size Selection Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Thanks for your question and photos. Unfortunately, the question is far simpler than the answer. Volume (400 versus 450), is far less significant than implant width and projection. Saline versus silicone is also important, as is a traditional "round" versus "anatomical" or "form stable" or "shaped" implant. It is critical that you select an experienced board certified plastic surgeon whose aesthetics align with your own, and with whom you feel comfortable. Don't be reluctant to seek a second or even third opinion to be sure and feel confident. Make sure that your surgeon sees photographs of your "favorites" or ideal. Expressing your desired cup size is notoriously inaccurate, and final breast size is the most common reason for patient disappointment after breast augmentation, either too big or not big enough.
