my docotor gave me the options of sientra 250cc moderate and 285cc moderate plus. My concerns are nipples facing downwards with too large of an implant but I’m also worried those two sizes might not be large enough. I’m originally bigA/smallB and I’m wanting a small D. Will those CC be large enough? Which projection should I get? Moderate/moderate plus etc
Answer: What size of implants? I think the best way to best match the implant size to your expectations is to use sizers. Not all doctors use sizers but this may give you a better idea. I also like to show people the implant itself to give you a visual on how much volume is really being added. You might try putting 250 mL of water in a Ziploc bag and checking the size. 250 mL is quite a small volume. It seems it may be helpful to discuss this with your plastic surgeon again.

Answer: Physical Exam Necessary Only an in person physical exam by a board certified plastic surgeon could give you the best answer. However, in general, if you are looking to go from an A to a D cup I would discuss with your surgeon implants that are a bit larger. Those sizes are relatively conservative based on the provided base width, however your surgeon may have reasons for choosing this size of implants that are not readily seen on the provided images.

Answer: How to make sense of breast implant dimensions There are trade-offs with each decision about breast implant sizes and profiles. It helps to keep in mind that there are 3 key variables: volume (size), base diameter, and projection. You can pick only 2; if you know the diameter and projection for example, that determines the size. If you know the size and diameter, that determines the projection. Most important is the base diameter because it has to relate to the diameter of your breast. The choices you were given between 2 projections reflect 2 sizes because the diameter was chosen based on you measurements. Forget cup size.
