I am getting silicone breast implants on Friday and am really scared of going too big. I am currently a "B"; I want to be a "C". I have chosen 350cc in hopes they will look like the 300-325 implant I tried at my doctor's office.

Answer: About that Submuscular placement which is most common will compress your implant more and so the same volume implant will appear somewhat smaller in this space compared to on top of the muscle.

Answer: Do you lose 50cc when you place the implant behind the muscle? This is a great question as sizing is the most difficult part of a breast augmentation for women. The implant can be placed above or below the muscle depending on the individual needs of each patient. In the United States the most common method is under the muscle, however both methods are great if used in the correct situation.

Answer: How many cc's do you lose by putting the implant behind the muscle? Great question - and it certainly is relevant in my practice since I have women try on implants within a bra. I use the number 25 cc as a rough estimate as to how many cc's you lose in appearance between an implant on top of the skin versus under the muscle. Best of luck!

Answer: Will you lose 50 cc's behind the muscle? There is no exact science to how many cc's you will "lose" once the implant is behind the muscle. Typically, I advise my patients that if they like the look of the implants we try on, we should consider one size larger to get the look of the smaller implant. The good news is that if you aren't completely satisfied with the 350cc implants, doing an implant exchange is a relatively simple surgery. Good luck!

Answer: Implant size over vs under muscle In general, it seems that external silicone implant sizers are the best way to for my patients to get an idea of what an augmentation with achieve for them. That said, they do seem to appear somewhat larger in a bra than when they are placed in the patient; even more so the deeper they are placed (i.e., sub muscular may seem smaller vs sub glandular. This is probably due to implant definition being less with deeper placement. For this reason, if patents are trying to decide between two sizes, I generally encourage them to choose the larger of the two sizes as implants may appear smaller than sizers.
