How to achieve medium C breasts on petite frame?

There have been various Q&A's on this, but would like an opinion pertaining to me personally. I'm petite, 5'2 107lbs, small B (lost volume on top after child birth) I know cup size is hard to determine, but would like to be a Medium C and have some volume at top. I like the look of 325cc breast implants when tried on. The doctor suggested 325 implant w/ 350cc's, (said 350cc under the muscle will give me the 325 look). What do you think? Also is moderate plus a good choice? Thanks for your input.

All things considered, I think you will be happy with 325cc saline implants placed under the pectoralis muscle and filled with 350cc. I do feel that a better result is obtained with saline implants when they are slightly overfilled (this decreases chances of rippling). But, as been stated many... more

A: 350 cc breast implants sound too big for your frame.

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Hi! 1) On your frame, breast implants this large will not look natural and will make you bigger than a medium C. 2) We recommend using disposable implant SIZERS during the operation, before making the final decision about size. This takes all the guess work out, because your surgeon can... more

You like the look of the implants that you have tried on so it really doesn't matter what the cup size is. Also do't get hung up on the 25 cc difference. That volume is... more
