I have 355 HP silicone implants. I've noticed that some girls with the same size implants (or even less) have larger results. Why does the same size implant look different from person to person? If you have more/less breast tissue to begin with, will the end result be based on that? Thank you doctors!
Answer: Shape and size It is not possible to choose a size based on how it looks on another person. This is why it is so important to try sizers on to determine what is the best size for you. At that time you also discuss the shape characteristics that you like so the surgeon can try to achieve your desired look.

Answer: The Same Implant has different results in different people Why does the same size implant look different from person to person? The reason is that everyone's anatomy is different. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate.Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the below link:

Answer: Implant Thanks for this great question, everyone reacts differently because each individual persons unique tissue characteristics will determine how their chest wall/breast tissue will expand with the force of the implant

Answer: Why does the same profile/cc implant look different on each individual? Correct, breast implants even if the exact same one and size will look different on each person. You must consider existing breast tissue, chest frame & dimensions. You should seek an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon & try on sizers for an idea of your end result size.

Answer: Why does the same profile/cc implant look different on each individual? You are absolutely correct in that the same breast implants may achieve a very different outcome for different patients. Much will depend on each individual patient starting point. For example, patients may start off with a different volume of breast tissue natively, different chest wall contour ( concave versus convex) and more or less breast skin elasticity.The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during the communication process.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.
