I recently has my sizing appointment and ended up choosing a 375cc HP silicone implant, i'm 5'1 150 lbs. My Doctor is wanting to up the size by 100cc for the actual implant to compensate for squish and tissue removal with the lift. is this normal? I'm very scared of having breasts too big, even the 375cc felt a little bit big to me but he didn't want me to go smaller. I'm trying to trust what he is saying but I have friends that have received similar or even smaller implants and look huge to me.
Answer: Many variables As you can see from previous responses, there are too many variables involved, you need to talk to your surgeon in regards to your concerns, he should be able to explain his thinking.The most important factor in obtaining a good result from your cosmetic surgery is the surgeon you elect to perform it, after your surgery is done it will be more difficult to find a solution if you are no happy with the results.If you do not feel comfortable with your surgeon explanations, then you should consider a second opinion, an honest opinion can only be obtained after an in person consultation.Be sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon, preferably a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Breast implant size. It sounds like you and your surgeon are not on the same page. Although we commonly use an implant a little larger than the sizer chosen to accommodate for "squish" as you say. 100 cc is a fair amount. Maybe you aren't understanding what he is trying to say. I would discuss it further with them or look elsewhere.
