280cc anatomical or 370 xtra moderate Mentor implants?

Dear Khloe14109,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

The 370 cc implant will give you about a half cup increase in size over the 280 cc's. With small implants, like 280 cc's, I recommend using the round implant unless this is reconstruction after a mastectomy. The ultra style will give more projection and a taller profile.

Yes there are differences to these implants. In addition to volume there is a difference in shape and profile. One may fit your breast better than the other. This is where your board certified plastic surgeon is your personal expert. She/He discusses your goals for surgery and examines your breasts. This information is combined to help determine options of implants that will most closely get you the look you are wanting. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.
