I am currently a 34b and wish to be a small d cup. I have already went through consultation, but was unsure if I should do 400cc or 450cc silicone implants under the muscle. What would you refer according to my goal?
Answer: Implant Selection There will not be a noticeable difference in clothing with 50 cc's. It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill

Answer: What size implant? I can't tell you which implant size you should get, but I can tell you that when my patients come in, they always try on our impant sizers to find the shape and size that best fits their body and lifestyle. I encourage them to come in for an additional sizing appointment if they are undecided. It's also quite common for them to bring in a friend or significant other - as well as take pictures of themselves with the sizers - to help them decide.
