Hi, I'm getting BA in April. I'm having round silicone implants under the muscle but I can't decide whether to go 300cc or 350cc... I'm worried 300cc will be too small with them being unders. I'm 5ft9 and an athletic build. In the Image I've tried on 300cc but when they're unde the muscle will they go considerably flatter?

Answer: The right implant for you It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the below link.#breastaugmentation#findingtherightsize#BA

Answer: Implant selection - getting the right size Hi there. It is important to select the right implant beforehand - I would raise your concerns with your surgeon as it is impossible for anyone on this forum to give you an accurate answer without a full assessment. I always allow for a second sizing session pre-operatively. As a general comment, if you are a keen athlete, the smaller implant may well be preferable. Good luck!
