My Doctor Won't Help - Salisbury, MD

I am scheduled for implants this spring and I need help choosing a size. My Dr has been highly reccomended, however wants the choosing of the size to left up to the patient. So I need some help!
I am 5'9'' and 127lbs. I want an implant that has projection, upper pole that is not obvious that I have implants. I am currently 32/33 b/c and the diameter of my right breast is 12.5cm and my left is 11.5cm. The nurses in the office say 400cc and I feel that is too big.
All of my friends got less than 300cc, but I know implants look different on everyone! I am so confused. I am leaning towards a 375cc silicone Allergan implant, put under the muscle with a inframammary incision...Is that too big?

Have you tried on sizers in his office at least? Personally if my doctor wasn't even suggesting sizes I'd take that as a red flag. From everything I"ve read and experienced, a qualified surgeon will at least measure you and tell you what they think would look natural and fit your body. At the VERY least you should be able to try sizers in his office so you don't have to guess.
All that being said, since you already have a decent amount of breast tissue and based on your "dream boobs" photo, I'd stick around 375. I have 400s but had about half the natural tissue that you do. You are also skinnier which means the same size would look bigger on you than anyone (like myself) who carries a little extra weight.
Good luck and keep us posted!
