Hi Doctors! I am having a hard time deciding between 275cc and 295cc, moderate profile round silicone implants. I tried on both with the sizers in my bra at my consult, but I'm wondering how accurate that is/if I will lose a lot of volume with whatever implant i decide to proceed with. I've initially chosen the 275cc, but I will go back to try implant sizes on again so I am able to change my mind. It seems that everyone says to opt for the bigger size - what are your thoughts?
Answer: 20cc-not much difference; little over a tablespoon; or about 1 notch on your bra strap...... 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 and style 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 size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Choosing Between 275cc & 295cc Implants: Which Size is Right for You? Hello! Deciding between 275cc and 295cc moderate profile round silicone implants is a common dilemma, and it’s great that you’re taking the time to ensure the best choice for you.When trying on sizers at your consultation, they provide a general idea of the volume, but they don’t fully replicate how implants will settle in your tissue over time. Factors like chest width, skin elasticity, and natural breast shape all play a role in the final result.The difference between 275cc and 295cc is subtle (about 2mm in width and 20cc in volume), which may not be significantly noticeable once implanted. However, many patients do opt for the slightly larger size, as post-surgery swelling subsides and implants may appear a bit smaller than expected.If you are unsure, trying on sizers again is a great idea! Also, consider discussing implant placement (over vs. under the muscle), your natural breast tissue, and long-term aesthetic goals with your surgeon. The goal is a size that complements your proportions while making you feel confident.

Answer: Trust your Surgeon Congrats on your upcoming breast augmentation! Honestly, the difference between 275cc and 295cc (20cc) is almost unnoticeable. That being said, most plastic surgeons use sizers in the OR to see exactly how each implant fits! Trust your surgeon to do this and choose the best size that matches your body. Hope this helps!

Answer: Deciding between 275cc and 295cc one of the hardest things with breast augmentation is nailing down the size of the implant that you wish that will achieve the goal you are looking for. Hopefully you have had a long discussion with your plastic surgeon regarding your goals. The implants mentioned are relatively small and may achieve an approximate 1 cup increase. This is great if this is what you are hoping to achieve. You mentioned moderate profile implant which are the widest implants and that can limit you a little bit on sizing given your frame. It tends to give a relatively bottom heavy her appearance to the breasts without a lot of superior fullness. If you're looking for some roundness in the upper part of the breast, not fake but just to improve cleavage, you may consider either moderate profile plus or high-profile implants. If the placement location is deep to the muscle, none of these profiles will make one look fake. In deciding between 275 and 295, the difference is only 20 mL. This is about a soup spoon difference in size and is unlikely to make a large difference one way or the other. Remember, when utilizing sizers and placing them in a bra, make sure that the edges of the sizer or or breast implant is snug against your skin, rather than leaning forward in the bra. The latter could cause you to choose a smaller size.
