I'm 5'5", 125lb currently a 32A. I am very concerned with my body image and want a fuller chest, but I want the most natural look possible. I don't want the implants to make me look heavy or overweight, and I don't want them to look obviously fake to strangers. I'm not sure I trust my surgeon's judgement. He's recommending 300ccs, but originally recommended 325/250cc which looked overwhelming to me. Will 300ccs be too much? Or should I stay at 275cc.. I'm nervous about regretting either decision

Answer: 275 or 300 cc implants Thank you for your question. Picking the implant size is often one of the most stressful parts of the breast augmentation process. There is not any right or wrong answer in your case based on your description, and it is likely that either size can provide a nice result. There may be some limitation based on the width of your chest and breasts. The width of the implant should match the width of your chest to avoid excessive space between the breasts. If the implant is too small, and thus too narrow, it may lead to a wider space between the breasts than is desired. Your surgeon should be able to help with this.It is important to remember that there is only a small difference between the 275 and 300cc implants, and it will likely be difficult to tell the difference between the two. This is only a difference of 2 tablespoons, which is quite subtle in the overall scheme of things. If you are concerned about being too large or noticeable, I would suggest the smaller size. Best of luck with your breast augmentation.Jeff Rockmore

Answer: 275 vs 300cc implants Hello, many people have difficulty picking their final implant size. Fortunately you have narrowed it down to two choices that are only about 10% different in volume, so the final outcome will be fairly similar regardless of your choice. If you are still having concerns you could return to your PS for another assessment and to try on implant sizers.
