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: 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.
