Why is an Implant of 350cc Smaller Than the Expanders with the Same Volume?

July 6, 2013
Asked By:lhallam

I'm 5' 5'' and 150lbs. I currently have 350cc in my expanders and the size is a D cup which is bigger than I want to be when it is done. I'm concerned that the permanent implant will also be too large if my PS uses an implant of the same volume. He tells me the end result will be smaller but I'm concerned at this point with the size.
