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!

A: Breast implant sizing

Nina S. Naidu, MD

Hi, the best way to determine the right size for you is to try on the different implants in a bra and under a fitted shirt.  You can do this in your surgeon's office.  There's not a huge difference in the sizes you mentioned, but if you think you want to be slightly larger or smaller, you should... more

A: For Implant Sizing, Dialog with your Plastic Surgeon is Best

Michael C. Pickart, MD

First, there really isn't much difference between 325 and 275.  It's at most a 15% difference. Second, it's hard to tell which would size would be best.  All would probably be fine.  Third, photographs are helpful, but I also use many other factors when choosing what is the best implant: chest... more

A: Breast asymmetry and choice of implants

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

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... more

Implant choice is important but is secondary to the importance of communication between you and your surgeon. With your surgery in less than 48 hours, your questions SHOULD have been answered. Personally, I agree with my colleagues that there is not a lot of difference between these implants (=the answer to... more

There isn't alot of difference between the 3 sets of implants. Most of the difference will be in the base diameter.  This really depends upon your measurements.  The 325 willbe a bit wider thatn the other two.

 From your photos, you have very little breast tissue to start with and a good width between the breasts.  You will probably be best staying with the 325 so you don't have too much separation between the implants at the end.

A: Implant Sizes

John Whitt, MD

There is very little difference between 300 and 325cc (less than 2 Tbs.).  It appears from your photo and measurements that a 325cc implant will give you what you want.  However, if there is any question or concern, you can always have another sizing session with your surgeon.

Your question is of a concern to me. I feel YOU NEED TO SPEAK to the operating surgeon and come to an agreement as to size of implant.  Please get all your ducks in a row than operate.

A: The breast implant size seems appropriate

Michael A. Marschall, MD

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.
