What is bigger silicon? 365 cc high profile or a 400 cc moderate profile?

Volume is volume so 400cc is larger than 365 cc's. However #highprofileimplants have more projection and less width. Here is a more detailed explanation: It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing #breastaugmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 365 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the following link.

Thank you for your question.The implants size is largest than the other regardless if it´s high profile or moderate profile. The size normally looks different because of the fat tissue inside the breast. This is a big factor when it comes to sizing the breast implant too.

The volume of your implant is bigger however that does not always mean that it will "look" bigger.  A high profile implant will have more projection, and may appear bigger.  Moderate implants are wider in dimension and will not project as much- this may be why there is a difference.  You must also consider that everyone's chest wall anatomy is different.  Even though she is "larger", her chest wall may sit higher than yours so her implants will project more.  

you have to know what your friend started with in terms of native tissues.  A 400 cc implant is ALWAYS larger than a 365 cc implant but the dimensions are different between the two you are comparing.  I would speculate your friend had more tissue to start with resulting in the difference... or it could be an illusion due to her higher profile.

Even if you both were identical twins, your breast were still not be the same before or after surgery. There is a different in the type of implant you both have on, in your case you have a bigger implant but is more wide and your friend has less cc but the shape of her implant the projection is forward meaning it has all the volume to the front instead all around. If you still have any questing in your next consultation with your doctor have them show you the different between implant.  

Your question involves several important considerations:It is important to measure the base of the breast which is the potential space involving the upper aspect of the breast between the sternum and anterior axillary fold. This measurement helps to make a decision between a high profile implant and a moderate profile breast implant, the latter being used for a wider chest. This breast measurement is also helpful in determining the final size of the implant to avoid the problems of a breast implant that is too large. A high profile implant projects more than a moderate profile breast implant and may appear larger.A 400cc implant is always larger than a 365cc implant. The final appearance varies because the amount of breast tissue varies as well as the notation above between high vs. moderate profile breast implants This is why it is hard to make decisions surfing before and after photos on the internet because these important factors are often not known. In addition many of the photos fail to disclose the weight of the patient which also makes a difference. This is an excellent question and will likely help other women understand these concepts.

Thank you for your question. Your breast implants are larger than your friend who has 365 HP. However your breast implant is wider and your friends is higher meaning the breast projects more forward than 1 with a moderate profile plus breast implant.
