I'm 5'0", 105 Lbs, and Currently a 32A. Will 350cc Be Too Large for Someone my Size?

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size.  This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saiine/silicone  and low/moderate/high profile), bra  manufacturer variance  in cup sizes, the  degree  of filling of the cup  with breast tissue,  and the subjective differences in patients perceptions of cup size.

If revisionary surgery is decided upon, it will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon.  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 cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.

Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.
I use  intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is “I wish I was bigger”.
I hope this helps.

 

If you look on the internet, you can probably find ten different people your same height, weight, and body frame.  They may all have different sized implants and they may all look good.  Breast augmentation surgery is not like putting bumpers on Chevrolets.  Each patient is an individual and must be evaluated as such.  You should work with your doctor to determine the cup size you are trying to achieve and the implant volume that will make that happen.

The answer depends more on your overall body shape and the amount of breast tissue you have than just your height and weight. 350 cc may be a good size for you however it may be slightly too large, this is difficult to say without seeing a photo of you. A board certified plastic surgeon can evaluate you and help make this decision.
