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: 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.
