I had my first consultation today and the Doctor suggested 375 cc. I'm a 34a, 5'2, 117 pds. I asked his opinion on what size would best suit my body. He then said a medium C would probably be best. I want the natural look, under the muscle, saline implants. I'm not looking to get the plastic look, pushed all up in my face (no offense). I simply want a nice full look, so then I'd look and feel like a young lady. Thanks for your input.
Answer: Is 375 Cc Too Big for my Small Frame?
The best thing to do to determine size for you is to try on sizers in the office. That is really the closest thing to determining how the implants will look after surgery. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile for Me?
Despite your excellent description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you specific advice without direct examination or at least viewing pictures. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals, careful measurements (dimensional planning), careful selection of appropriate breast implants and skillful execution of the procedure will be important steps in achieving your goals.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C” or "plastic look" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.

Answer: Sizing implants
Prior to the surgery, you may try to wear a sample implant the same size as the one recommended. If you like the look, it may be perfect for you. Obviously many other factors come into play like chest wall width, skin quality, elasticity.

Answer: What size?
Thanks for your question. Photos would be helpful. I would say that both sizes, a full or medium C, you mentioned are likely to achieve a solid augmentation. Based on your measurements, a final cup is better determined after performing an examination with a qualified plastic surgeon. Perhaps using a volume sizing system will help you feel more comfortable deciding from your choices. Silicone is known for being more natural when compared to saline. Be sure to consult with several surgeons and choose the one that best matches your goals. It is always better to give yourself plenty of time to choose the best size and not rush to surgery. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Answer: 375cc Breast Implant on Small Body Frame
Based on your body description, I suspect that 375cc would not be too large. But there are many variables that go into how any breast implant size looks on anyone's body and there is the widely different and very personal interpretation of a good breast size and what constitutes a natural look. It would be a good idea to try on some sizers of different volumes before you make a final selection.
