Hi there, I'm having my breast augmentation soon and needed some input. I'm 5'5 and I weigh 108. I'm currently a 32A. I'm petite. My surgeon suggests 275 CCs. I'm wanting 325 CCs. Any opinions? Oh, the implants will be saline and high profile. thanks

I think it's indicated for your surgeon to trust your instinct, but you will likely not look very natural since they're pretty large for you. Essentially you're both right, but for different reasons.
