Had my pre op on Monday and now I'm more confused on what size to get since my bwd is 12.5 were trying to stay under 13. The sientra HP shaped ones only go up to 425cc doc only had 375 for me to try on and those were to small he didn't have the 425 to try, now I'm leaning towards the natrelle 475cc round HP style 20 implants. He said I have up till the surgery date to decide which is the 19th. he said don't compromise how big I want to go just to get the "gummy bears" suggestions appreciated!

Answer: Breast Implants Determining breast implant size can be very confusing to the patient. There are several different manufacturers and different style of implants. The most important factor in picking an implant are the patients chest and breast measurements. After these dimensions are known, the woman has options as to the type of implant she desires. Each implant has different characteristics. For instance, shaped implants are slightly firmer than the round gel devices. However, the shaped devises are more natural appearing with less fullness in the upper pole. Round gel devices are very close in appearance and each manufacturer has slight changes in the consistency of the gel. A patient can't go wrong with choosing any of the implant manufactures, they are all good.

Answer: Sientra Breast Implants Shaped Round Base HP vs Natrelle Style 20 Thank you for your question.Here are two details which may help you make your decision:The textured shaped implants have a more natural slope on the top half of the breast. They don't give the augmented "bubble look" up top. If you want to maintain a more natural shape, choose the textured shaped Sientra Breast Implants..The textured shaped implants are more firm than smooth round gel breast implants. If softness and feel is very important to you, then choose the Style 20 Natrelle. Sientra and Mentor also make soft smooth round breast implants comparable to the Natrelle Implants. They give great results.Also, your surgeon is right. Whichever implant you choose, pick the size that you want. I agree that you shouldn't compromise the size you want, just to get the textured anatomically shaped gummy bear implants.The Sientra Shaped Classic Base Implant comes in a 450cc, but the BWD is 13.0 which is wider than your 12.5 cm width measurement.I hope this helps.
