I'm planning on getting a 375 cc implant cohesive gel moderate plus profile... I'm seeing others that got the same and some look huge and some look small... I'm confused on why they look so different ? How do I know I picked the right size for me?

Answer: Why do the same size implants look different on different people? This is a great question. The fact is that no two women (even sisters!) are exactly alike and have the exact same breast characteristics (size, shape, nipple position, tissue thickness, etc). So it's possible that the same implant could look different just because the women and their breasts differ. The other possible explanation is the actual surgeon. Some surgeons create a small pocket for the implant while others opt for a large pocket. This could also affect the way an implant looks. In my office we use the Vectra 3D system that generates an "after" photo simulation with different size implants and patients really like this tool. Even without this system, however, your surgeon should have enough experience with breast implants to be able to guide you in choosing a volume/shape that is appropriate for your body type and desired look. Best of luck to you,Ruth Celestin, MD

Answer: Why do the same size implants look different on different people? The best way to pick the best implant size for you is to try them on. See what you like on your body, don't worry about the number of cc's because it doesn't matter as much as how they look on you. The reason the same size implants look different on every person is because everyone is different. No woman as identical breasts. Height, breast tissue, body frame, chest diameter, etc all make a difference and are the reasons why one size looks different on each person. So, try them on to get an idea of how they may feel on you, and go with the size that you like the best on you. Good luck! ac
