When choosing between two sizes I usually recommend picking the bigger size. Problem is once you have a bigger number in your head all you see in the mirror is the bigger number.

Thank you for the question.
There is absolutely nothing to be upset about. The difference in size of implants you mentioned are negligible and probably not noticeable as far as the end results of your breast augmentation are concerned.
In the future if you decide to have revisionary breast surgery performed it will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. in my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. in your case...

Im Upset I Chose 371cc over 397cc Would It Have Been a Big Change?
You are saying that you are upset you are 26 ccs smaller. This is about 6 percent smaller than the larger volume. I don't know how large your breast volume was, but assuming it was 300 ccs you are missing 3 percent. This is not a big difference. The implants usually come in 30 cc increments. This is because we correct breast asymmetries and there, you might need 30 cc more on one side. Your real message is that you wanted to be visibly larger that you ended up. This is a question that we...

Breast implants to small
The difference between those volumes is very small. Review your preop and post op photos carefully. This should show a positive change.

No it would not
There would not have been a visible difference between the two sizes. Looking more natural is more important then being a certain cc's; ask your surgeon why he chose the size he/she did.

Breast Implant Volume Differences
Dear Isababe,
There are very small incremental differences between each successive implant size. This gives woman many options but once you choose an implant that is an appropriate fit for your breast dimensions, then you will have a nice result and should not second guess your decision. It is a very small difference between the 371cc and 397cc implant of less than 2 tablespoons. Enjoy the changes you were seeking and have now achieved.
Sincerely,
Behzad Parva, MD, FACS

371cc chosen over 397cc breast implants
Do not be upset. The difference of 26cc is only just barely noticeable, if noticeable at all. A 7% increase over what you have...that is not much! Enjoy what you have and do not obsess over something that would probably not have made any real difference whatsoever.

Is there a difference between a 371CC implant and a 397CC implant
Dear Isababe, As you have read the difference between a 371 CC and a 397CC implant is about 2 tablespoons. This makes very little visible difference yet patients seem to stress over it. You may ask if it makes no difference, then why are there so many sizes to choose from? There is variation in width, shape and position of the breast to name a few. If you put 1 cup of water in a tall narrow glass, it will look different...

36 cc difference is not much to be upset about. For a real difference in size you need at least 100 cc differences.

Don't think twice about it. The difference is too small to notice. Please relax about this and enjoy your new look.
