I am having trouble deciding between 415 & 450. I really like how the 400 sizer looked on me but I was told that the implants will look roughly 10% smaller when healed. Should I go up to 450 so that they look like 400s or stick with 415 (or even 385)? Also, another thing I’m considering is being able to downplay my breasts if needed so I don’t want to look too large. I do have a good amount of breast tissue already so it’s hard to figure out if I’ll be too large?

Answer: 5’0 115lbs starting at 32C, can I get a second opinion on picking the best implant size? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. or the type of implant. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.

Answer: 5’0 115lbs starting at 32C, can I get a second opinion on picking the best implant size? Thank you for your question and photographs. I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would continue to work with your plastic surgeon to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. The sizing your are listing would leave you with a large overall breast size so try on the sizers again to get a visual representation again. Best wishes
