Should I get 320cc or 340cc?

O
OinkusDec 10, 2015

Hi - I am 5'10, approx 160lbs, athletic. Currently wear 36B, but that is only bc of the size of my chest wall (13cm diameter), but the volume is less than a A cup, very little breast tissue. Should I get 320cc (3.4 projection, 13cm) OR 340cc (3.5 projection, 13.25cm), both silicone, low plus profile, under the muscle. By specifications these are close to each other, but I am still worried to be too big. I would like a max of a C cup, natural look. Thoughts? Thank you!

The weird noise that you are hearing is most probably air or fluid in the breast pocket. Which is pretty common immediately after surgery, but less so at 10 months. I would definitely advise you to schedule an appointment with your surgeon so that he or she can assess the situation in person....

I'm sorry that you're not happy with your decision to get implants. Although a capsule starts forming immediately, you should not need an capsulectomy. Your surgeon should be able to remove your implants under local if you want, but it's painful. After which your breasts should return to how...

I always encourage my patients to focus on the look that they want to achieve with their implants not the cup size. The latter can vary so much between bra manufacturers that it is not a good indicator of actual breast volume. If you are worried about the 385 cc, try them out with either gel...
