My PS recommended either a 330 or 360cc implant for me. I'm 5'4, 106lbs, petite, thin frame. I'm a small 32/34b cup. I would like a full c. I dread looking too big for my body. I seem inclined to do 330 because i'm afraid of looking too big. I tried on both implants and kinda felt that the 360 seemed like too much, but my PS says that the implant will get pressed down once its under the muscle. If I do 360, does it lose some of its size once inside? I would hate to have regrets.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Sizing
In my office I like to use 3D images of each patient to superimpose implants of different sizes to make certain they are comfortable with the size.Also if you place the implant sizes in a bra on yourself, you will get a really good idea about how it will look. Once the implant is actually in, it will look only slightly smaller than it did when placed in a bra. One way the computer imaging helps is that you would see that there is barely a difference between 330 and 360 for example. If you like the way the 330 looks in a bra, get the 360.

Answer: Implant Size to move from B to C cup Yes, your surgeon's recommendation for 330 cc or 360 cc is a reasonable recommendation to meet your objective of moving from B to C cup. Yes, you will lose some projection when placed under the muscle. 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.
