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.

A: 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.

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... more

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... more

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... more

Richard P. Rand, MD

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... more

A: Nominal difference between the two

Michael C. Edwards, MD

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

A: There is minimal difference

John P. Stratis, MD

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"

A: Breast implant size

David Shafer, MD

 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... more

A: Choosing Breast Implant Size

Theodore Katz, MD

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... more
