Are 300cc Silicone breast implants too big for a petite, A cup woman?

Dear @sweet You ask a very good question.  The answers that have been posted give you a large range of choice....that is the precise answer! Choice.  The size you would like to achieve will have some trade offs associated with it.  If the implant is larger than your breast envelope will adapt to... more

It sounds reasonable but it really depends on what you're wanting your look to be.  I use high profile implants in patients that are your dimensions because they are the only way to get that size in when you're so thin.  Because you were pregnant, I'm hoping that your tissues stretched some and will... more

Choosing the right size implant is based on your exact body and chest measurements and tissue type. The base width of your chest is only one factor in deciding your implant size. You also have to consider how thick or thin your tissue is that is going to provide coverage for the implant and how loose or tight... more

Hi! 1)  Probably too big.  May look fake. 2)  Not your resposibility to pick breast implants.  Surgeon should do this once he or she really understands the look you want. 3)  Surgeon should place disposable breast implant SIZERS in your breasts during surgery. That way, your surgeon... more

Without formally examining you in person, it would be difficult to assess whether the implants are right for you.  Based upon the numbers that you mentioned( assuming that they are accurate) I would say you are pretty close.

This seems to be a reasonable size for you. A lot of patients ask whether a certain size will be good for them or not. The answer actually depends on what kind of result is desired. Chances are a 300 cc high profile implant will create some fullness over the upper part of the breasts. This tends to create a... more

When it comes to determining the best size for you, I would recommend several things.  Take some different size implants (you can ask your plastic surgeon for some samples) and place the inside your bra.  Then look in the mirror and see what size you like as this will provide you with a gross... more

All of the measurements you provide are helpful in determining what type of implant will work best, but the size choice is very subjective. Assuming you have tried on implant sizers and 300 cc is what you like, then the high profile is the best match to your base diameter.

There are many factors that go into sizing of implants-your desires, tissues and your measurements. The measurements are a guide and put the surgeon and the patient "in the ballpark" for what fits for your body. Also the measurements aren't always exact and reproducible amongst different surgeons... more
