The best way to decide is to try them on and see how they look. There should not be that much difference.

Breast implant sizing

To size you up properly takes a good physical exam and thorough history.

Breast size

Please see my previous answer regarding choosing breast implants and the way to measure size. Volume has relatively little meaning since there are many different types and styles of implants that give different results with the same volume. You should have a careful and long discussion regarding the dimensional approach to choosing implants and also review all the risks and benefits of each type and size of implants. Implants are simple objects. But the decision of how to use which... more
