I'm officially booked in for my surgery in January which I'm super excited about. The surgeon has recommended that I do not go any later than a 345 cc full profile due to the width of my breast being about 12 cm. The only problem is I think that I want to be bigger than that. I asked about extra full profile in 400 cc because it is less then 12 cm but they are concerned that I may have a greater risk of complications with that size. Should I ask about doing saline implants instead of silicone?

Answer: Possibly; Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Answer: Breast augmentation Thank you for the question. The implant choice process requires an in-person consultation with as there are many factors to take into consideration in this process. However, you should definitely visit with your surgeon again before your surgery to discuss your concerns. You and your surgeon need to be on the same page. I hope this helped.
