Is there much of a difference between 400cc and 450cc silicone under the muscle? (Photos)

Hello,

It wouldn't make a major difference. Guessing that you have about 300g of your own breast tissue, this would be a difference of approximately 5-10% in size.

Thanks for the question. i recommend you  Cohesive Gel - Silicone Breast Implants with textured cover ("gummy bear implants") under the muscle.They are quite safe and aesthetically best as they give a firmer consistency, better projection and most natural appearance than Saline implants.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

You will see very little difference between a 400cc or 450cc implant. 50cc is less than 2 ounces. It is about 2 ice cubes or a double shot of liquor. Once the implant is inside of your body, you would probably not be able to tell the difference. I would have your surgeon show you a 400cc implant and a 450cc implant in person. I always tell my patients to err on the larger size, since they always look smaller once they are inside your body. 

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.

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.

The good news is that from your photo it appears that your breasts are pretty and fairly symmetrical, which is always a good starting point. 

Take your time, do your research. Best of luck to you.
