Hi, I'm 5'2 97lbs and I currently have 350c saline implant on the left 390c on the right. ..I am getting a implant exchange to silicone high profile. .I said I wanted to go a little bigger like 400cc and my doc disagreed and thought I should get 450 on right and 475 left. ..I told him I felt it was to big but he said if I wanted to see a difference I would have to ..so I just decided to go with 425c in both because I am afraid of being to big for my size.will going from 350 390 going up to 425c

Answer: Will 425cc silicone implants make me bigger than my 350cc 390cc saline implants? Thank you for the question and pictures. In regards to specific size/profile of breast implants, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful specific advice. Ultimately, careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key. Some consideration should also be given, in your case, to adjustment of the breast implant capsules; doing so may help improve the position of the breast implants on your chest wall and in relation to the nipple/areola complexes…Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering revisionary breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant 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. Again, have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or 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 my size" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on 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. The use of temporary intraoperative sizers, viewing the patient's breasts in the upright and supine position, are very helpful during the breast implant selection process. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to revisionary breast surgery concerns), helps.
