How Do I Decide on How Many Cc's and What Profile?

One breast hard and the other soft

This is a very personal decision that you should discuss with the choice of surgeon. Try to go a liitle larger than you want so you can not say after surgery, "I wish I would have gone bigger!" Also I like the High Profile smooth rounds. From MIAMI Dr. B

Decision Process involved in picking THE BEST Breast Implant FOR YOUI
