380cc/420cc or 400cc/450cc? Moderate + or high profile? (Photo)

The
best way to determine the size for your personal perception of the perfect
breast is to try on sizers. This way you can see how they fit on you,
how they add to your current volume, and whether they fit your frame.
Although the surgeon can guide you, only you will be able to tell what is
the right size. Try on sizers.  I agree with going under.  There are many advantages to that approach.   HP implants, which are a more
modern shape than moderate profile implants, fit most women better. They
have a more appropriate base diameter for most women and can be made to look very natural or
very augmented, depending on where in the range the implants are filled to
achieve a particular volume. High profile implants are the first choice
in my opinion. I rarely find an indication to use moderate or moderate
plus implants. The subtlety in the final outcome is not achieved by which
profile implant is used, it is determined by the skill in the creation of the
pocket, the choice of volume, and where in the range the implant is filled. With respect to volumes, if you want to be a D/DD then 380 is going to be too small.  You might get closer with 450 cc.  Try sizers on again and see what you really want.

Thank you for your photos and your inquiry. Deciding on the size of the breast implant is dependent on a few factors. First, the look that you want. I've always found that showing a photo to your plastic surgeon helps. Second, your measurements, the most important of which is your base width. That is the width of your breast. Certain things can only be determined by the plastic surgeon. This is the art of the procedure. Things such as your skin texture and the tightness of the pocket are factored in. A common mistake among my patients is choosing an implant size since someone on the internet has that size and looks good. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Your question is the TOP question we hear. While selecting the "right" size breast is a very personal choice, and one that varies tremendously from woman to woman, there are a few basic guidelines that can help. Many women get caught up on trying to decide between 50cc's or less, which is basically the equivalent of 3.38 tablespoons! Measure it out...it's not a lot. If it takes 350cc's to increase a cup size on average, then the implants you're looking at should give you the fullness and potential cup size you desire, but it is always best to make these determinations in a consultation visit with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced in breast augmentations. High Profile (HP) implants will give you more projection, while the Mod+ profile will be slightly wider with slightly less projection. Your surgeon should be able to show you same-size implants in each profile so you can see the difference. If you feel uncertain, you may want to obtain a second opinion.We realize that "getting it right" is extremely important for most women. Trying on sizers can be a big help in getting you within the right range of sizes to produce a specific size. My article, linked below, has other tips you should find helpful.
