Thank you for sharing your excellent question. In terms of appearance patients do not lose any cc's by going underneath the muscle as the implant will redistribute its volume to the lower portion of the implant as it "drops" during the healing process. In most cases 25cc is not a substantial difference when considered over the entire size of an implant, but this will depend on your current frame. Talk to your surgeon about your desired goals they should be able to best steer you to the right size to meet your expectations.
Thank you for your inquiry and photos. Without a physicalexamination it is difficult to respond with accuracy, but whether or not your implant is under the muscle or above the muscle will not impact on the volume. You are probably asking if the "look" will be different and this is based on many factors, including the thickness of your breast tissue. Most plastic surgeon recommend the placement be under the muscle for many reasons. The best way todetermine which breast implant size is best for you is by first finding outyour specific wishes not only with words or letters as in cup size or “not toobig” or “natural”, but also with a visual understanding of what you hope tolook like. This can be accomplished either with photographs of patients whosebreasts and body type look like you, or ideally with photos of patients notonly whose breasts and body type visually are similar to yours, but are also asimilar height, weight, and pre-operative breast size. In our own practice wehave provided that unique functionality on our website to accomplish exactlythat. Unfortunately the most common reason for a woman to beunhappy after her augmentation is feeling as though she is either too big ornot big enough. Thankfully, in our practice this is rarely a problem becauseimplant size selection is what we spend most of our time discussing anddetermining. I do not place the onus of selecting the breast implant size on mypatients since they are coming to me for my advice and expertise, but I do askmy patients to be as specific as possible about their aesthetic goals and I thenadvise them accordingly. I would advise you to seek the advice of a board certifiedplastic surgeon experienced in breast enhancement surgery and make sure thatyour own sense of aesthetics aligns with that of your plastic surgeon. Youridea of “natural” or “pretty” or “proportionate” might be different from yourplastic surgeon’s and it is very important for you to feel confident that youare both of like minds as far as the goals. Best of luck to you and I hope youare successful in achieving the enhancement you are seeking.
The implant volume is what it is. Because one often tries them on by putting them in a bra, they tend to look slighlty larger this way. How much is hard to predict.
None are lost, just a little different form typically and a little longer to reach final projection behind. Twenty-five ccs is only a shot or two of Tequila, almost imperceptible in that range. Breast augmentation is a dimensional operation, not a volume operation. Obviously you end up with a "volume", but it is how it is dimensionally distributed that determines your result.
Thanks for sharing your question. I canappreciate your concern.Biology can not be compared with engineering. The usual size difference between implant sizes is 5 millimeters in width and 3 millimeters in height for every 50 cc. At the end the understanding of the look that you want to get and the anatomy of your body will allow for the best result.Finally, make sure that you have aconsultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.Wishing you the best in your journey
