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: 350cc For your size I'd suggest sticking with 350cc. However, discuss your concerns with your surgeon as they'll be able to help you better based on a physical examination.

Answer: 400 cc versus 350 cc If you are uncomfortable with the implant that should be a red flag for you. That being said it is not that differeent a volume. Were you able to look at it on a simulator? That helps ease patient's fears....

Answer: Implant sizing good afternoon!yes, implants placed on thop of the skin in a sports bra tend to have more projection and more perceived volume than when placed- especially under the muscle. That being said, if you have very little breast tissue, wearing them in a sports bra is more indicative of your final result than on someone who has a large amount of projecting breast tissue preop.I hoep this helps.

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: Is there true that a 400cc will really look like a 350cc on me for Breast Augmentation? Thank you for the question. I do not think that it is possible to make the types of generalizations that were made during your consultation regarding breast implant selection. Ultimately, careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be an important part of the preoperative and intraoperative planning process. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering 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're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. 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 "trashy and ridiculous” 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. The use of in bra sizers and computer imaging may be very helpful during this communication phase. 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. I find that the use of temporary intraoperative sizers ( with the patient in the upright position) allows for accurate selection of breast implant size/profile to achieve patient's goals as precisely as possible. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.
