I Am 5' 6" and 117lbs Getting Silicone. Torn Between 300cc and 325cc. Dont Want Too Big!
Answer: Sizing for breast implants.
Every plastic surgeon has a way they help determine the best implant size for their patients. I find the most proportional results are achieved by first measuring how wide the patients breast is. An implant which is close in width to the patients breast and therefore fits the natural breast "footprint", will give a natural looking result. At 5 feet 6 inches, you could look excellent with either size implant. From your photos it appears likely your breast width is around 12 cm which is what the implants width is. A change up or down of 25cc will only make a slight difference, so you could choose the larger implants with confidence they won't appear too big. Silicone is a good choice and chosen by the majority of my patients for its natural feel.

Don't be nervous about a tablespoon and a half! And as I ask my patients..."Forget the word "huge" and if I have to fudge a little...do you want to be a tiny bit bigger or a tiny bit smaller? And it is true...99% of women wish they had erred on going larger than smaller.

Thanks for the posted photo. My guess and recommendation is go with the larger (325 cc) implant. Think larger due to decreases in size appearance after swelling goes down.

Answer: 300cc or 325cc Breast Implants?
Since you are trying to decide between 300 and 325cc, you should be fine either way. Both seem appropriate for your frame. The difference of 25cc is less than 1 ounce of volume, which is very small. Most women wish they had gone a bit larger a year after surgery so maybe 325cc is the way to go.

Answer: The perfect implant size
There is barely a noticeable difference between 300 and 325 cc. You should try on implants and see if you can appreciate a difference - make sure whoever is doing the sizing does not tell you which is which. 325 cc should not put you over the edge. Generally the belief is that women get modest during sizing, then wish they went with a little larger implant. Either way I think you should have a nice result.

Answer: Breast implant sizing The difference between the two sizes is minimal. At your height you would do well with either size and I don't think you will see any difference postoperatively.
