I Chose 325cc. My Husband Suggests 350. Suggestions?

I am getting my breasts done in two weeks. I am 28 years old, 5'5, 100 pounds, and a 32A (small A). I wanted to be a full B small C.I dont want to go too big (or make it so obvious I had them done) so I decided to go with 325cc although my husband thinks i should do 350 since "they're isn't much of a difference between them". He read a posting saying that within a year the breast wont be as full. What is your recommendation?

Which Implant to Choose for Breast Augmentation?

It is often difficult for patients to choose the perfect implant size. A board certified plastic surgeon is very comfortable in guiding you to make a good decision. A combination of body measurements and you preferences are used. You should try the implants under a special bra as well. I like to use the Vectra 3D system so that you can visualize the results with different implants. In your particular case, keep in mind that 15cc is a tablespoon, therefore the difference between the two... more

Breast implant size/type?

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree... more

325 versus 350

Lisa: this is small potatoes. (No pun intended). The difference between the two size implants is negligible. The most important aspect of the implant is the base width, the projection and the vertical height of the implant. Accordingly, a 350 mL implant may actually have more projection than a 325 mL implant if the base widths are different. The real issue, is whether it is worth arguing with your spouse over this minuscule difference. My vote would be to give into the 350 mL, and just... more

Breast Implant Size- 325cc or 350cc?

In reality, there is little difference between a 325cc breast implant and a 350cc breast implant; 25cc is less than the volume of a shot glass and less than 2 tablespoons. I doubt that you, or anyone else for that matter, will be able to tell the difference between a 325cc breast implant and a 350cc breast implant. I recommend that you leave the final decision up to your plastic surgeon. During your breast implant surgery he/she will likely place "sizers" in your... more

Breast Implants - 325's or 350's

Hi Lisa O. in Santa Maria, CA, The difference is basically inconsequential. If you - or your surgeon - chose one size and instead had the other size put in, neither one of you would ever know. To put it in perspective, 25 cc is just about one ounce (30 cc); the average size shot glass in the US is 45 ounces. It really doesn't matter. Furthermore, no matter what size you choose you may eventually wish you had gone "a little" larger. That's... more
