I am undergoing Breast Augmentation in a couple of weeks and am really confused. When I went for my consultation and try on the different sizes I like 350 cc silicone high profile. My ps told me he will put then 400cc so they will look 350cc.... Right now I am a 32A and I am 5' and 90pounds. I really don't want to be too small but I dont want to be to big to where it could make me look "trashy" and ridiculous. Is there true that a 400cc will really look like a 350cc on me?

Answer: Going up in volume When trying on a sizer it is important to remember that the sizer sits on top of the skin is not influenced by the skin or the muscle. The implant is compressed by the skin and the muscle. So if you like a certain size sizer and it is important for the plastic surgeons recognize that the implant needs to be a little fuller to achieve the same look.

Answer: Implant Selection Thank you for your question. It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill
