I've been seen by two PS; both measured me at 12cm bwd. One recommended 355cc Sientra HSC Smooth Round Moderate Plus Silicone and the other one recommended 325cc/350cc Mentor MemoryGel Smooth Round Moderate Plus Silicone. When it comes to sizing, I have a hard time picking the ones I want. Can I go up in a larger implant size "cc" if I decided to go with Sientra?

Answer: Implant size based on breast width. The measured width of your breast helps your PS get a rough idea of what width implant will fit you. If you match the implant width to your breast width, a proportional increase is likely. You can modify the volume of implants that have a specific width by choosing a low, moderate, moderate plus or high projection implant. If you've seen the charts of the width of implants, you will note that the width of the implants increases in very small increments, approximately 2 or 3 mm, with each size increase. This small difference can easily and safely be placed so that if you have a measured breast width of 12 cm, you can still accomodate a 12.5 or even a 13 cm implant. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Have a 3-D scan of your breasts and a simulation of the appearance of what different implant sizes would look like in your breasts can be very educational. This has helped my patients get a very close idea of what their results may look like.
