30cc difference is negligible in most patients

Hi there- In the vast majority of women, the difference of 30cc you are asking about would produce a negligible difference in appearance. The bigger question is why you are focusing on the size of the implant and not on the final appearance you desire as a goal. Choose an appearance, not an implant.

30 cc differnce in implants

30 cc difference is not alot, although in smaller implants obviously it is a higher percentage of the total volume then in a larger implant.

A 30cc difference is not detectable and makes no difference!

You should understand that 30cc equals 2 tablespoons of volume. Over an entire breast (even a small one in a small woman such as you), this difference is totally undetectable! Really! Try on each of the two sizes (but have the nurse hand them to you without knowing which is which), and I suspect you have less a difference than you already have in your breasts pre-op. Even if the difference is (barely) noticeable, it will be BARELY noticeable. I know patients get hung up on these... more

Unfortunately, you are very petite and your breast base is expectedly narrow, making you a less than an ideal patient for any significant augmentation. I would heed your surgeons desire for an intermediate (moderate or moderate plus) profile implant of 230cc, and avoid... more

3D imaging helps you decide best implant size

It seems like any of the implants you mentioned should work well for you . The difference between a 260cc and 234 cc implant is negligible. I like to use the Vectra 3D system so that you can visualize your result in your own body with different implants before you undergo the procedure. This empowers the patient to make a better decision.

Recommendation for breast implant size

There is no "right" answer for the correct implant size. The answer depends on many factors, including: the desired size and look of the patient the eveness, thickness, shape, etc. of the breast and chest the experience and expertise of the surgeon I agree that the implant profile or shape plays a minor role; it is more about matching the appropriate implant with the patient. Your height, weight and base diameter suggest that you have a tiny frame. ... more

Choosing your Breast Implant Size

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
