Are 300 Cc Silicone Breast Implants Too Big for Me?

Hi! You have no idea how many questions we answer at RealSelf from women who are miserable with their too big breast implants. On your frame, high profile 300 cc implants would barely fit and would look fake for sure. And they would age poorly. For you, I would guess 200 cc's. But the point is not to guess.

Good luck! Dr. S
