Is 300cc too Big for my Frame?

Question

I'm 5ft4 and a 119lbs. My BWD is 13cm and i'm a 34AA. I have chosen a 300 cc silicon implant,med.profile under muscle. I would like to be a full B or a small C cup. I like a natural look and I don't want to be too big, just proportional with my body.. My surgery is in two days and I'm panicking that they will be too big! Please help.

Hello. It is hard to give a definite answer without a consultation or at least pictures. For your dimensions 300ccs is safe and a moderate profile implant is a good choice if you are going for a more natural look. It is not uncommon to get nervous about these types of things before an operation. Try not to get too worried and be sure to bring any concerns to your doctor’s attention for reassurance before the surgery.

In short the answer is no.  The BWD of a midrange silicone implant from Allergan of 304cc is 12cm which is the same for Mentor. I do not have the chart in front of me for a Sientra implant but I bet it is close to the same.  If you are really a AA cup you need to maximize your implant width. I would recheck the numbers you have.

It is normal to feel some concern prior to undergoing any surgery. Based on your anatomy, it doesn't sound like a 300cc implant will be too big for your frame, but it sounds as though you still have concerns. In our office we use 3D imaging which allows you to virtually "try on" different sized implants to see how they will look on your body. Many patients find this helpful in determining the best size implant for their own goals.  There is always a question of anatomy, and sometimes size changes are made during surgery based on what fits and looks the best based on prior discussions with the patients. Good luck to you.

At 5'4", 119lbs and 13 cm chest wall width, a 300 cc implant is not too big for you from an anatomic perspective.  350 cc is the average size implant placed in the US, if that helps allay any of your fears.

Without pictures and an examination its hard to be definitive.  However,  300cc gels are a common natural size.  They will make you a 34B and I suspect you will look very natural.  I let my patients try on the implants in the office, how they look in the mirror is pretty accurate to how they will look after.  Good Luck!
