Are 350cc Breast Implants Too Big for Slender Frame?

I am a 36B and I'm going for a 350cc Breast implants.  Is that too big? I am slim, slender swimmer's body.

I'm not sure what what size implant to get. A 325cc or a 350cc? I want a very nice full natural look.  Any suggestions, comments or feedback? My surgery will be in 9 days and counting.

Choosing breast implant size

The use of sizers in your bra preoperatively does not accurately correlate with the size of breasts achieved with sub muscular implants. I think that it is very important that you communicate clearly with your surgeon to maximize the chances of achieving your desired breast size. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or... more

Implant size

A nice natural look is always the best way to go. It takes a good physical exam and discussion to nail down the size for each patient.  This may be just the right size for you, or it could be too big or too small depending on your body habitus.

Breast implant sizes.

Hi! That size range is reasonable for breast augmentation, but it really depends on the measurements of your chest and your breasts. I recently had a swimmer in Manhattan tell me that her 300 cc breast implants increased her resistance and slowed her down in the water. So If you are a competitive swimmer, I would say get 200 cc implants, or don't have the surgery.

325cc vs 350cc Breast Implants on a Swimmers Body Type

Once again I'm amazed at how many women have no concept of what size they need prior to surgery. Slim and slender don't necessarily go with the swimmers body as swimmers are usually bulky in the torso. So what must be considered is your height, weight, shoulder width, waist, hip width, buttock size and age (younger women can carry larger implants). I use 325cc implants more than any other implant. This is more due to my patient population, 5'2" and 115lbs or less, than anything... more

You'll look great...

with 350cc implants and 325cc implants. Your board certified plastic surgeon has taken your body measurements to determine a small range of implants to fit your needs. I personally use temporary implant sizers during the surgery to decide the best final volume to insert. Your surgeon may do the same. Good luck!

325 vs 350 cc implants

If the base dimension of these implants fits you well, both will look nice on your frame. Best to revisit this issue with your doctor soon to be sure you are both on the same page before the surgery. There is very little difference between these two sizes so most patients will be happier going with the 350.

Nominal difference between the two

I tend to encourage a patient who is having difficulty deciding between two close implant sizes to go with the larger of the 2 unless they are emphatic that they don't want to be too big. I think you would find it is a nominal difference that you most likely would not be able to percieve. Dr Edwards

There is minimal difference

The difference between 325 and 350 is minimal, about a shot glass volume. I would not agonize over that volume difference. "Once you are in the right neighborhood the house number is not that important"

Breast implant size

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.

Choosing Breast Implant Size

If your choice is limited to 325cc or 350cc, then you are not likely to see a great difference between the two. You should have another discussion with your surgeon if you still have questions. He/she has probably taken breast measurements to include chest and cup size, but also breast width and height, as well as evaluated your skin elasticity and done a "pinch test" to determine the amount of skin and subcutaneous tissues you have to "pad" the implant. Your surgeon... more
