Is 300 Cc or 335 Cc Silicone Implants Better on a Thin Woman?

Question

I'm getting my surgery next week and still can't decide between 300 & 335cc silicone moderate implants under the muscle! I've done 4 sizers & even made rice sizers. I like the look of the 300 (but no smaller). Should I go 335 (which look too big on me) to get the 300 look since it's under the muscIe? My measurements are: height=5'5'' weight=110 lbs. ribcage=28 in. pre-BA=32A I would like be a small-mid C. My measurements are: shoulders 15.5in; waist 25in; hips 36in. I also breastfed 2 children.

Hi!
	
	Thank you for your question.
	
	There really is barely a difference between the two sizes so I would
	not worry too much about it. If you are worried about not going big

	enough then I would go with the 335cc but make sure you check with your plastic surgeon.

	
	Good luck!
	
	Dr. Sam Speron

When deciding between 300 and 335 go with the bigger implant because 1) it will look a little smaller once it is inside and 2) once you get used to having them they won't look or feel big at all

The sizes do not make much of a difference. In a thin pt i would always rec hgoing under the muscle. Either size is appropropriate so it comes down to your comfort level. Good luck on your surgery

As a general rule, when I have patients try on implants I suggest they choose an implant about 10% larger than the size that looks good in the office. The implants look about that much bigger on top of the breast than when inserted surgically. For gel implants that is usually the next size up.

	 

	If you liked the look of the the 300 cc implant, choose the larger one. Best wishes.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually.

Exact end results and cup sizes are usually quite difficult to calculate as everyone has a different starting point.

There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results.

During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'. You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure.

I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery. I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively.
