Am I Going to Big?

Hello, I am getting a BA done in the next few days, Nov 16. I'm asian 4'10 wt 112-115 pre-op boobs 34AAA. I have consider going 350cc HP but when I tried on sizer at the clinic the 400cc also looked good too. Do you think I am over doing it? I don't want it to big where it's going to make me look short and stumpy. Please help me.
