Implant choices for breast augmentation

Steven Wallach, 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!

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.

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 definitely mention this to your surgeon.  Communication will ensure a happy patient and surgeon.  Good luck, /nsn.
