When I was trying on sizers, the doctor said that actual implants inside the body will look a bit smaller than the CC-corresponding sizers. In your opinion, is this true? How much smaller do they appear?
Answer: Sizers and final breast size I would say that in general when using the mentor sizing system that the implants once placed under the muscle will appear about one size smaller (25cc, or a tablespoon) after surgery is complete. if you are on the cusp between two sizes I would choose the larger one. Hope that helps!

Answer: Implant sizing HI. This if definitely true - if you are happy with a particular size of implant in your bra then you need to have a slightly larger implant put in to achieve this volume. You need to add 25-50cc, especially if you are using shaped implants.Try to find someone with a Vectra 3D imaging machine in your area to

Answer: Do implants appear smaller inside the body? The implants will look a bit smaller, particularly in the submuscular position. There is no rule here, but you may want to add about 10% to the size you select from the sizers.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Do implants appear smaller inside the body? In general, implants placed behind the pectoralis muscle will appear slightly smaller than the sizer you look at in a bra or tight t-shirt. If the implant is placed behind the breast tissue but in front of the muscle, it will appear more similar in size to the sizer you try on pre-operatively.Your plastic surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally

Answer: Breast Implant Size Sizers are not 100% accurate in depicting your final appearance in clothes. They give you a rough idea. Don't get caught up trying to decide between 25 cc differences; small volumes like this (5 teaspoons) over a breast surface area is irrelevant. It is true that most women wish they would have gone bigger, so if you are trying to decide between two sizes, I usually recommend the larger. I would say that when an implant is placed "under-the-muscle", you may see about a 10% reduction in projection related to the muscle pushing on the implant. In reality, however, every size looks different on every patient depending on a multitude of anatomic characteristics. I would also trust your plastic surgeon's advice so the results satisfy your goal cup size desires while looking beautiful and natural.
