I Am Trying to Decide Between 339cc or 371cc, What Do You Suggest For My Measurements?

I am a slender build, 5'9", weight 140, and am conservative in nature. I have broad shoulders so I do not want to look top heavy so-to-speak. Which Natrelle implant size would you suggest me using? I want to look like I have full breast and Ive heard stories about women wanting to go bigger afterwards.

Breast Implant Sizing

Hello SRWallace1975, It is always a pleasure answering questions before the surgery, and also answering questions from someone who does not want to be 'too big'. If you look at most of my replies, you will see I am pretty much 'fire and brimstone' regarding the ills of inappropriate implant sizing, and it is true that anatomic based measurement will lead to the lowest risk of complications and unplanned reoperation. In your situation though, I think that your... more

Difference In 339cc/371cc Negligible

The difference in an implant of 339cc and one of 371cc is hardly noticeable. In fact it essentially is equal to 2 tablespoons. Don't obscess about minute volume differences. You likely will be happy with either.

Breast Implant Sizing?

Thank you for the question. I'm sure you are aware that your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to advise you after direct examination and careful discussion. In my practice, I prefer the use of goal pictures to help with this communication process. Generally, the smaller of the breast implants will lead to a more “natural” result; however, as you mentioned, the most common regret after this operation is “I wish I was bigger”. I would... more

Implant Size

Thank you for your question. I would need more measures of your chest wall to make any formal recommendations. I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1. Dimensional planning 2. Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the... more

Choosing the right implant

It seems that you have narrowed it down to 339cc or 371cc breast implants. This is an important step. It is also most important to measure your chest width. Your implant should be at least 1 cm less wide than your breast width. The difference between 339 and 371 is negligible, it amounts to two tablespoons. Either implant will give your desired result.

You sound like a great candidate for breast augmentation.

Hi. Go with the smaller size. But read this article. Good luck! 1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like. 4) Then your surgeon has... more

It take much more than height and weight to determine imlplant size

Implnat sizing depends on your breast shape and skin envelope, chest size, height and weight of course, and your goal as the 'ideal' result for you. Rather than guess over numbers, work out how you wish to look after implants. Best of luck, Peter Johnson, MD

Choosing Implants.

Without a physical exam it is not possible to answer your question. But in general the number of ccs should be of absolutely no concern at all to you. Your job is to show the doctor photos of the look you like and his job is to make it happen, however many ccs that takes.

Implant choices

The two implants you listed are not that different. Either one is probably Ok if you were sized correctly. An exam would be essential to figure out what would be best for you.
