Debating between 250 cc silicone or 300 cc?

Dear Energetic129,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

50 cc's is equal to just a little over three tablespoons, so not a big difference. Choosing the right size is a challenge for many women, in general, it seems more women wish they had gone larger rather than smaller. With that being said, you should have a discussion with your surgeon as to how the larger implants will fit your body. Good luck.

Hello, there is only a 20% difference in size between the two implants so this is not a huge difference in volume.  However, you would need to ask your surgeon if they feel the larger implant is still appropriate for you.  This will depend on physical factors such as your breast dimensions, skin tone, tissue thickness, and of course your goals for the final size.
