I'm 5'5" 140lbs toned currently B cup breastfed 2 children looking to go to C cup. Finding it difficult to choose between 325 & 350, (difference sounds little) but afraid 350 would bring me to D size. What is the difference between them and would it be great enough for me to notice?
Answer: 325 cc and 350 cc breast implants: the difference is less than 2 tablespoons
IF you are aiming for a C cup, I would advise the 325 but in reality you are discussing only a 25 cc difference which is extremely difficult to detect and amounts to less than 2 tablespoons!

Answer: Choosing breast implant size is individual and three dimensional.
Choosing breast implants for breast augmentation has multiple variables and really does not totally depend on implant volume. To ease your concern, 25 ccs is likely not going to be noticeable on someone your size and that volume is a good start. Bear in mind you have had children which stretches out the breast skin and tissue, as well as implant type, shape and your chest shape. Typically I give my patients a 50cc size range and use a temporary sizer in the operating room for the final breast volume. I hope this helps.

Answer: Implant sizing questions are important to get answered before your operation
There is about a 'shot glass' of volume difference between the two implants- there is also a small difference in base diameter between the two implants- but that is only a few millimeters. Your best bet is to see a board certified plastic surgeon and have accurate measurements of your chest dimensions taken. Based on your aesthetic preferences, an implant can be selected with these measurements in mind that will approximate the 'look' that you are seeking.

Answer: Tiny difference Between 325cc and 350cc
In reality, there is very little difference between the two. The 350cc is just a little bit bigger, but that little difference will not jump you from a C to a D if that is what you are worried about. I always tell my patients to err with the larger implant if we are trying to decide between the two - 98% of all women who get breast augmentation wish they had gone a little bit bigger at the 3 month mark. If you go with the slightly larger one, then when you still feel that you could have gone a little larger, you at least know in your mind that you went with the larger implant. I hope this helps.

Answer: Implant Size to achieve goal of move from B to C cup The difference between 325 and 350 is minimal. Your surgeon is the best one to guide you as he or she knows the scope of the surgery and the specifics about you. There is not a direct correlation between breast implant size and cup size as the cup size varies greatly among companies and even within the same company. Moreover, cup size can vary based on who is performing the measurement. The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for your body.
