I see implants that are a 450cc and girl still look flat chested ...other I see are a 220cc and the girls look huge! I had a fitting of sizes and I choose a 350/375cc. I loved the way they looked . however I am getting under the muscle I don't want to look flat chested after I have surgery. I am really confused on the sizes! i

Answer: Size should be proportionate Thanks for your question. This is a very common discussion that we have with patients. Ultimately the size of the breast is based upon the volume of the breast gland and that of the implant. As you can imagine there is a wide spectrum of native breast tissue in augmentation patients. With my patients I measure their base diameter to determine the width of an implant that will fit on their chest. Implants are like shoes, if you wear a 6 you can't fit into a 4 or an 8. There will however be a range of implant sizes that ultimately will give you the most ideal fit. The implant chosen needs to be proportionate with your frame. Hopefully you can find a Board Certified plastic surgeon who is an ASAPS member via the Smart Beauty Guide to assist you in this. Best of Luck!

Answer: Sientra implant sizes compared to other implants Sientra implant sizes are comparable to the two other implant company's sizes except that the range between implants as they get larger increases. If you notice that one person looks fuller than someone else, it may have to do with the type of implant shape that was used. An anatomically shaped implant has less volume at the top and fuller at the bottom to mimic a more natural looking breast. A round high profile implant will be narrower at the base but provide more projection. A moderate profile implant is broader but may not provide as much projection. The choice of implant depends on your own breast measurements and your desired outcome. As you can see, there is a variety of shapes and sizes of implants that you may want to discuss with your surgeon. And implants that are placed under the muscle initially may not look as full as after recovery in 4-6 weeks when the implant has dropped into the pocket. I hope that this helps answer your question!
