Breast asymmetry and choice of implants

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Can 300cc or 275cc breast implants give same effect as 325cc?

I'm scheduled to get a breast augmentation this Wednesday and am still wondering if I chose the correct size. I'm 5'7", 123 lbs. I'm a small A with 30" chest diameter. Usually wear 34A.

I'd like to be a small C and chose 325cc moderate pluse unders. I'm wondering if 300cc or even 275cc would be a better choice, or would that be too small for my height and chest width? Just looking for input. Thank you!

I would highly recommend that you discuss this with your surgeon who has recorded your measurements. From my standpoint you have widely spaced breasts with asymmetry characterized by relative deficiency/constriction in the lower pole of your left breast which may benefit from biplanar approach and radial relaxing incisions and either different sized implants (larger on left) or differential fill.

A: The breast implant size seems appropriate

From your photo, height and general chest wall shape, I would agree that 325 moderate plus profile seems a good choice. The breast base diameter is key and if in approximation to the implant all would be ideal! Hope this helps.
