Ok, I have a dilemma... not sure if to go with 304 cc's or 339 cc's. I'm "very" petite 4'11 and weight about 105 lbs (39yrs old, had one child), I want to look as natural as possible. Want a moderate under the muscle implant . My bra size is a small 34b and want to go to a c (do NOT want to look top heavy), which one do u think would look better on a small petite lady?

Implant choices

In general, the smalleer the more natural it looks. If you are petite as you say, it may be better to go smaller.

Picking the Right Size Breast Implant

As a petite woman, implants will look much bigger on you than the average sized woman. However, most women complain that they probably "should have gone a bit bigger" months after surgery. Nothing will replace a full exam and measurements, but if you are sitting on the fence between two implants, I almost always encourage someone to pick the larger size. Even though most women want to be "as natural as possible" no woman wants to be so natural that... more

304 vs. 339 breast implants

Although 35 cc's will make a small but noticeable difference in size (usually the border of noticeability is 20-25 cc's) this isn't the answer. If you are a 34 mid B and you want to be a 34 mid C then you need a low profile implant (called a low profile in saline but a moderate in gels) that matches the width of your breast. I suspect your breast width is a bit less than average so looking at a guess for width that will fit you in a low profile (moderate profile... more

Breast implants sizing is not exact

All women will have a certain range of implants sizes that will look good on them. All of this depends on many variables and particularly on the woman's own sense of appearance. A 30 cc size difference is not very detectable but as the implant size increases then the implant will show itself more. Discuss this with your surgeon and try on implants to see if the size feels right to you. Best Wishes.

Implant Sizing

Difficult question to answer without an exam and measurements and the type of implants used, but the two sizes are so close that it really would not make that much of a difference if both are the same profile. You are looking at about a shot glass difference between the two. Good luck.

Breast implants for petite woman

It’s hard to say without a photo which placement fits you the best. There are various factors regarding how you want your breasts to look and feel, but if you and your doctor have a good, open line of communication, you shouldn’t need to go back and forth on your decision. A major factor that effects how breast implants look and feel is whether they're inserted over or under the chest (pectoral) muscle. I do submammary and submuscular implants, inserting the implants... more
