My surgery has finally been scheduled for January 18, 2024! BUT when I check in for my preop appointment, I have to let my Doctor know if I want the 400 or 420 CC Implants. I'm currently 5'5, I weigh 155 pounds, I wear a 36A looking to achieve a 36D. (When he measured me he mentioned I was 11 on both breasts?) So far I've chosen circle silicon/gummy bear implants. He stated that the biggest he felt comfortable going was 445 CC. I showed him my inspirational pics. Any advice would help.

Answer: Sizers Have you tried on sizers in both those sizes? That may help give you a better idea of what would look better. You’ll find that a difference of 20cc is quite difficult to notice.

Answer: Implant selection The volume difference of the two implant sizes you are considering is small. Twenty cc's equates to less than 1.3 tablespoons of volume. Many surgeons have sample implants available that you can try on to help you get an idea of how you may look after surgery. Visiting your surgeon again may be helpful to you in making your selection.

Answer: Smaller implants At size 36, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 400 cc or 420 cc implants will take you up to a 36 C not a D. Also, 445 cc implants weigh 1 lb each and can result in breast descent. Bottoming out can also occur. I recommend smaller implants for long term stability.
