I'm going in for a breast lift and silicone put in . I explain to the dr I do not want to be top heavy . I am 5 ft and weigh 112. Before I had kids and breast fed I was a 34C . The dr said I have a good amount of breast tissue and getting 200cc silicone . Should I do 225cc? Everyone is telling me 200cc is too small

Answer: Breast Implants Hi,The difference between a 200 and a 225 is only 5 teaspoons (5 cc per teaspoon, an ounce is 30 cc). So just ask your surgeon if he or she would be willing to jump up 25 cc, then it seems you will feel better about it. It sounds like your overall plan fits your dimensions and that your surgeon is giving you very reasonable advice. So talk it over with your doctor. All the best, "Dr. Joe"

Answer: A lift with smaller implant volume - just might be the right thing for a tiny frame type of breast Many factors play in : your breast tissue volume/size, the quality of the skin and tissue, the degree of deflation of the overall breast, and your personal expectations for size and shape. These are key components that you and your surgeon arrive at together and then the proper implant and lift are selected. With your small petite frame and reasonable breasts i presume - this could be an excellent choice that would give a balanced aesthetic breast better apt to stay that way over the years. If a little difference of 25ccs would ally some questioning and worry on you side - well then 200 and 225 is minimal - step up to that and feel confident you will have a great result :)
