Will there be a noticeable difference between 275cc and 300cc high profile round implants?

Hello, in short there will not be much of a noticeable difference between the two sizes. The difference will be in the diameter of the implant. 25cc in volume is similar to about half of a shot glass. Depending on your breast width one might fill your width more than the other. A good question to ask yourself is "would you be upset if you woke from surgery and were slightly smaller than you expected or slightly larger than expected"? Your answer to that question could help you decide on the size since there is such a small noticeable difference between the two sizes.

The simplest answer to your question is that a 25 cc difference is less than 2 tablespoons. This is usually very difficult to detect visually. Depending on your wishes and expectations, you would probably need a larger volume to notice much of a change. Good luck with your surgery.

Dear mackenzied_,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
