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: 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.

Answer: Smaller inside? I size my patients by placing in the implants in the bra and yes they do look a bit larger when they are in the bra on top of the breast. We usually recommend that the patient go up 1 implant size from what they liked when sizing and this seems to work pretty well. Check with your plastic surgeon though because it does depend on the bra you size with and your starting point size wise.
