I want big boobs but not pornstar boobs...Am I going too big? Is there much difference between 450 and 475 ccs silicone? (photo)

Based on the lateral photos, I think you will have a very nice cosmetic result. My only concern would be how the implant fits your frame. You are obviously petite, so you don't want an implant that is too wide and causes a lot of "side boob". A high profile implant is narrower, allowing more volume for projection as opposed to width. That's what I usually recommend for my petite patients. Best of luck!

There is little noticeable difference between a 450 and 475cc implant. I think at your height, I would consider the 450 cc implant. Good luck! #PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #BreastImplant #Implants #Choosingimplants 

Thank you for your question.  In order to have a noticeable increase or decrease in appearance, typically there must be a 100cc difference.  The difference between 450 and 475cc's is about a tablespoon.  If you are not happy with the size you have chosen, you may wish to consider asking your surgeon to try on the sizer implants again prior to your surgery.  The most impotatnt thing is that you are comfortabel in your choice.Best regards,Dr. Lane F.

Thank you for your question and photos.  Given your goals, it appears that you could achieve a nice result with 475 cc implants.  As long has you have clearly voiced your surgical goals to your operating surgeon and he or she is board-certified in plastic surgery as well as an expert in the breast augmentation with implants procedure, I would proceed with what you have chosen.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

If your surgeon feels that both the 450cc and 475cc implant would work, then I would recommend going with the slightly larger one.  Between those two implants, it is only a two tablespoon difference in volume.  However, sometimes the width becomes an issue as the implants get larger.  Most surgeons use sizers during surgery to see what will work the best, so in your case I would have both on hand and see which one fits the best during surgery.  I hope this helps.

They are so close in size and all woman have one bigger and one smaller breast. If you had one of each placed you would never notice. So do not get focused on the number look at pre and post op pictures to find similar body types. Without any real pictures for us to review the best thing to say is to trust your doctor. Good Luck!

Thank you for your question and photos.   It seems that your goal is reasonable and achievable. There is not a big difference between 450 mL and 475 mL. It really depends on current breast volume, base diameter of your beast and implant projection chosen. I definitely wouldn't suggest going any larger than the 475 cc implant for your body size.  I highly recommend having another pre-operative sizing appointment to discuss everything again with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck. Dr. Patel

Narrowing down size can be difficult.  I use 3D photographic imagine to see subtle difference between sizes.  

There
is little difference in size between a 450cc implant and 475cc implant. While
it’s hard to say without a physical examination, I would agree with your doctor
that going any larger may give you undesirable results. While some women do see
great success with implants 500cc and above, you have a small build. In most
cases, shorter and more petite women have to be careful with larger implants to
avoid the overly large look that you mentioned on top of other possible
complications like bottoming out.I
would advise going with your doctor’s recommendations; his personal assessment
of your physique will give you the best insight into how to achieve the look
you want.

Hi, nottoobigbutbig.  Thanks for your question and photos.There is not much difference between 450 and 475.  I think implants should fit in your body and reflect what you want.  Based on your body, 450/475 may get to you be D or DD (depending on bras).There are many variables in recommending implant size/type. I base my implant recommendation on patients' body (chest height, chest width, existing breast tissue) as well as their desired look. I usually do not talk about cup size. As you know, cup size varies with brand and styles of bra. I would go for the desired look. Review before and after photos and see what kind of look that you want.   Share your wish look with your plastic surgeon and see whether s/he can achieve your goal.More meaningful recommendation can be made based on direct examination and in-person consultation. Best regards.
