Are 350cc Breast Implants Too Big for Slender Frame?

It’s always difficult making decisions about breast size
without performing a physical exam or seeing preoperative pictures. In
addition, it’s important to understand the patient’s aesthetic goals. Each
patient has specific anatomic findings and unique aesthetic goals regarding
size and shape of the breasts. All of these factors should be considered when
choosing the size of breast implants. Even when tremendous care is taken pre-operatively to
determine breast size, the final decision needs to be made in the operating
room by the surgeon. At this point, an assessment can be made regarding how the
patient’s breast tissue interacts with the breast implant. Occasionally
obtaining a specific size doesn’t allow the surgeon to meet the patient’s other
aesthetic goals. For this reason, locking into a specific size isn’t always a
good idea. Results are often better when a surgeon has the ability to make
adjustments in the operating room.In your case, it’s important to thoroughly discuss your
aesthetic goals with your surgeon. Make sure he has the latitude to do what’s
best for you in the operating room so he can meet your aesthetic goals. It’s
important that you have an approximate idea of the breast implant size that you’re
considering but don’t become married to an absolute number. It’s important to
remember that the difference between 325 cc and 350 cc is only two tablespoons.

Try on sizers.  You will be able to determine for yourself what is right for you .  Your perception of your body and what is right for you are very personal.  Someone else with the same body dimensions might choose a different implant. 

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photo. Size of the implants can be very personal choices that a patient makes. In many cases, patients can go from a A cup to a D cup or larger. In our practice, I begin by asking whether you are looking for more projection or perkiness and whether you mind have some of the breast tissue push outwards on the side. In addition, I ask you to try on different external sizers to give you a sense of what your breast may look like and the feel of extra volume in the breasts. In addition, I take details measurements of the breast including the base diameter of the breast. Your volume range and the breast shape preferences helps me the further guide you in your implant selection and to give you guidance on what the breast might look. I would visit with some board certified plastic surgeons in your area to discuss your options and goals in more detail.

Your height or weight? 4'11" or 5'10"? 350cc is a resaonable sized implant but there is no formaula and this decision requires a lengthy consultation taking several factors into consideration.

The difference between 350cc and 325 cc is not great. Your surgeon may have suggested these to you based on your measurements. However, volume is just one aspect of the implant. You also need to consider profile (low, moderate, moderate-plus or high) which can give different shapes with the same volume. Good luck with your surgery.
