286 Cc Moderate or 325cc High Profile for My Frame?

Height: 5ft 7inches Weight: 125 pounds Breast: 32/34B cup, 11.6 cm diameter Desired look: Medium to large C cup. I am very active and do not want breasts that are too big for me to run on a daily basis. I'm trying to chose between: - 286cc Moderate plus silicone implants (11.7 cm diameter) - 325cc High Profile silicone implants (11.2 cm diameter) Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sizing breast implants for your figure

I would check the diameter of your breast upright with arms down. 11.6 cm is rather narrow for a 5ft 7in height and 33 inch chest. The average breast width in my experience is about 13 cm. The diameter of the implant should be about 3/4 to 1 cm less than the width of the breast in order to fit properly. Although it cannot be measured exactly, if you are a mid B cup now and you chose the middle profile in silicone gel implants (called a moderate plus) your size should increase you by about 1... more

You may want to leave it up to him/her to use a breast implant that he/she feels will do the... more

286 v. 325 cc implants

You are well prepared for your surgery since you seem to be choosing an implant with a width similar to your breast width. The volume difference between these two is barely over two tablespoons, and therefore not a dramatic difference. In may experience, many women after breast implants surgery wish they had chosen a somewhat larger implant, but they are, by in large, pleased. On the other had, women who are larger than they would have liked are, by in large, quite... more
