Implant Size - Differing Opinions from 3 Surgeons

I am 5/4, 117 lbs, full a/ small b - deflated from pregnancy/ bottom heavy/ no tissue at top. I went to 3 very good surgeons and 2 stated 300 ccs silicone, moderate profile, memory gel to bring me to a large b. I do not want to look like a C cup, just a large natural B. The surgeon I thought was best thinks that I should go with a 350-375 cc silicone moderate profile, memory gel implant to get this size. This sounds like a big difference. He said that 300ccs would be too small. Help!

Large B

The 350-375 will probably bump you up to a large "C". However, without an exam I would not necessarily recommend either implants to you.

Choices??

When it comes to breast augmentation, you will have several choices on implant size and shape. What I find helpful for patients in their decision making process is to show before and after pictures of patient with breast shape close them. It will defiantly help you if you do that.
