I am planning to go under an exchange surgery from expander to implants. I am 5'1", 105lbs., whose chest width (arm pit to arm pit) is 12 inches. In order for me to achieve a natural yet perky-looking medium B cup size, which between high profile silicon implants or moderate plus implants is recommended? If so, how many CCs?

Answer: Choosing implant size for reconstruction The right size and shape implant to be used after tissue expansion depends on many factors. Most important are the size of the pocket that has been expanded and also your personal preference regarding size and projection.

Answer: Base this on the dimensions and volume of the expander. The dimensions and volume of the expander should be your guide. If you and your surgeon are happy with the current width (base diameter) of the expander then that is the diameter of the final implant you should use. Similarly, the implant diameter can be chosen smaller or larger compared to the expander as necessary. The fill volume of the expander should be known which can help you decide which volume of permanent implant you would desire. One caution, for a low height implant, the permanent implant will need to be a little larger than the fill volume of the expander to achieve the same "apparent" size.
