Hello, I'm 5'7", 135lbs, athletic build. My DR. Advised 350cc moderate under the muscle implants. Would I see a difference in 350cc and 375cc??? When I tried on the 350cc sizers with a tshirt they looked great. Is that how they will look or will they shrink a bit due to submuscular placementt??

Answer: Implant Sizing Hello,I am an advocate for in office sizing; I think it is the best way to determine the implant volume necessary to achieve your aesthetic goal, even better than the 3D photographic morphing devices. As a surgeon, it is my job to interpret the results of the sizing, that is to say I need to be the one to determine what size implant will actually give you that appearance you're seeing in the mirror with that sizer. It is too simplistic to say that 'going under the muscle makes you loose size'. There are so many variables that impact your final appearance after breast augmentation surgery. This is why I prefer not to tell the patient the volume of the sizers she's trying on. It becomes too confusing for her.Just like I'm an advocate for sizing, I'm also one for biodimensional measurements. In fact, the information gotten from these measurements potentially supersedes the results of sizing. These measurements will objectively and reproducibly determine your bodies physical capacity for an implant. Ignoring this information and placing implants too large will put you at much higher risk for complications and reoperation.I'm not quite sure exactly your question, but there's not much of a difference between 350 and 375, except when placed in a 'head to head' comparison, and then a very minor difference can be appreciated. If you're asking if getting augmented with these sized implants will be noticeable, well the answer is of course!Best of luck!
