Should I go with 275cc OR 250CC size implants?

Its not possible to make an accurate assessment without your photos. You have chosen your surgeon for a reason. Trust needs to key. Insist on meeting with him/her to discuss the sizes. Good luck

  25 cc is very little difference in volume and difficult to appreciate.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Most women a year after breast augmentation wish they gone a bit bigger. If you are wrestling between two sizes I would yield to the one that is slightly larger.

The picture would be helpful of your current breasts. A 250 and a 275 mL implant really adds little volume to a woman's breasts. In my experience here in Georgia most women would not want that size because it would not meet their expectations of large full appropriate size breasts. It really all depends your desired outcome.

Without having the opportunity to examine you it is difficult to give an accurate answer.  However, based on the information you have provided it seems that an implant within the range of 250 cc to 275 cc would be appropriate.  In addition to viewing yourself with the external sizing implants it is important to consider the base diameter of your breasts.  This measurement is helpful in making sure that the implant fits your breast.  The difference between 250 cc and 275 cc is very small.  It is unlikely that you would notice the difference between the two.  When an augmentation is combined with a breast lift it is even more important to select the right size implant.  If an implant is too large it may create too much pressure and cause problems with the breast lift.  If you have any questions you should discuss them thoroughly with your surgeon before your procedure.

Biodimensional planning techniques will help to determine the best size, shape and position of breast implants. Sizers are not an accurate method of measuring implant size because they do not take into consideration shape of the implant or the posotion. For some women, shaped, form stable breast implants can be ideal. 

Thank you for the question.These are very popular procedure at
my practice and patients leave happy after seeing results. To best help
you, a physical examination or picture evaluation is required in order o
determine which procedures and techniques would be best for you.Dr. Campos

Without a picture it is almost impossible to determine which implant is ideal for you. To determine the proper implant your plastic surgeon needs to assess your breast skin and tone and give you several sizers for you to determine the proper size. Good luck!

I think it is best to make the final decision in surgery. You have to trust the surgeon enough to make that determination for you.Look at a lot of pictures together so he/she gets a good sense of what you would be happy with

You may not actually be able to tell any significant difference between the 2 sizes.The best cosmetic result in any
particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors,
including: your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a
thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an
understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper
sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue,
breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as
chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on
implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt,
bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose
the optimal implant.

Keep in mind that following the
advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you
what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without examining you,
physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full
medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure
would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your
concerns with that surgeon in person.
