I can’t decide between 400 cc and 425 cc? Help me
Answer: Go with 400s As the other surgeons have stated, there is a very minimal difference between 400cc and 425cc implants. The most important factor will be choosing an implant with the correct base width and profile to fit your body and desired breast size. With all that being said, it seems you are struggling to choose between those two sizes so I would encourage you to go with the smaller size. You appear to have a petite frame and be in very good shape. However, this means you don't have a lot of overlying soft tissue to accommodate the implant. The weight of larger implants tend to stretch out your tissues more over time and cause a greater number of issues down the line. So I'd say go with the 400s and enjoy your new look!

Answer: Implant size? Thank you for your question and providing a photo. It would be very helpful to provide your breast dimensions in order to answer your question. I believe it is very important to place an implant that fits your chest dimensionally well. Based on your photo I believe you are better off with a silicone implant in the sub muscular position. There is a minimal difference between 400-425 cc's. I would recommend placement of whichever fits best. The profile of the implant will also be very important. I hope this helps.

Answer: Cant decide on implant size Truthfully, i do not believe the average patient is adequately informed to make a decision as to exact implant volume required to achieve their desired goal. It takes a great deal of experience to be able to choose implant volume to produce the desired result in a given patient. Regardless, 25 cc will not make a noticable difference either way. You do have very modest tissue coverage, and should not have too large an implant. Choose a good surgeon, let them know your desired look, and trust them to choose the corrrect size.

Answer: Sizing Hello there You can relax .The difference between 400 and 425cc is almost imperceptible so no need to stress about it .It's about the same as the contents of a flat dessert spoon . So it would be very hard to tell one form the other .The photo you provided isn't the best but I get the impression there is not a lot of you there to hide the implants . Generally smaller sizes work better in this circumstance . Otherwise the borders of the implant are easy to feel or even see .CheersTS

Answer: Choosing breast implant size The difference between 400 and 425 cc is very minimal in the appearance of your breasts. Often an imaging system like Vectra can simulate breast augmentation surgery to demonstrate different implant sizes.It is best to discuss this with your chosen board certified plastic surgeon in consultation for the ultimate decision on the implant size. Best of luck.

Answer: Choosing between 400 cc and 425 cc implants. The difference in a 400 cc implants and 425 cc implant is very, very little. I usually have my patients choose the larger of the two as most of my patients say that they wish they had gone a little bigger. Sharing your concerns with your Plastic surgeon before your surgery will help you make a final decision. Good luck.
