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: Same size implant looks different on different people This is an excellent question. When choosing an implant there are several key factors to consider. The size of the chest wall, the size of the breast and amount of existing breast tissue as well as the height and weight of the patient. As patients obviously vary in size, height, weight and the amount of breast tissue they have, the implants will appear different on patients of different size. Best of luck,

Answer: Breast implant and patient differences This is a great question and you are very astute for asking it. The answer is.....everyone's body is different. Women have different bony structure for their chest wall, different amounts of fat, different chest widths, different amounts of breast tissue, different skin quality, different nipple positions, etc. So if every woman is different, then the same implant will look different in each woman. If an implant is put into a gal that weighs 125 pounds and the same implant is put into another gal that weighs 250 pounds, the result will be entirely different. The implant may barely be visible in the heavier set gal and more visible in the very thin gal. It is a very complicated analysis and equation that also includes experience and artistic license to evaluate a women for breast augmentation. Make sure to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for a comprehensive evaluation. Good luck!

Answer: Different sizes for different patients The reason that different people look different with the same size implant is because the chest wall and skin envelopes are different on different patients. The smaller the chest wall frame, the larger the implant will look on the frame. The same is true for the skin envelope. If the skin is dense and tight, even a small implant might appear round and fake. Someone that has more skin laxity will be able to handle a slightly bigger implant without the implant appearing big or "too big".

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
