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!
