I currently have 345cc saline implants and will be replacing them. Doctor recommended 375-400cc moderate silicone implants. I want to look a bit fuller on top and for my breast to be a little closer together. I want to look fuller but not super fake. Is this a good choice? Also, would you recommend going through nipple or under breast. He recommends under breast.

Answer: Breast Augmentation First and foremost, I would use the same incision that you had before to change the implants so you dont have additional scars. As for the size, the difference between 375 and 400 is minimal and therefore I would recommend going with 400 so you get the fuller look that you are looking for.

Answer: 375 or 400? I think you are making a good choice switching from a saline implant to silicone. That being said, the volume that a saline implant occupies per cc is more than what a silicone implant occupies per cc. In other words, if you were to have an augmentation of 350 saline on one side and 350 silicone on the other, the saline side would appear bigger. Thus, you may wish to go over 400 to give yourself more superior fullness and if your goal is to have you breasts appear a little closer then a moderate plus implant would be my choice. If your surgeon has a range of sizers, you can have him show you a 375 and 400 side by side and you will notice there is not a big difference. Thus, I would suggest you go to at least 400 if not a little more. For a simple exchange with slightly larger implants, you should be able to use your previous incision, even if it is around the nipple. If you had armpit incisions, then under the breast may be better. Best of luck with your surgery!
