Choosing between 275cc and 300cc...

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.

Thank you for your inquiry. Without a physical
examination, or at least photos, it is difficult to respond with accuracy, but the best way to
determine which breast implant size is best for you is by first finding out
your specific wishes not only with words or letters as in cup size or “not too
big” or “natural”, but also with a visual understanding of what you hope to
look like. This can be accomplished either with photographs of patients whose
breasts and body type look like yours, or ideally with photos of patients not
only whose breasts are similar to yours, but are also a similar height, weight,
and pre-operative breast size. In our own practice we have provided that unique
functionality on our website to accomplish exactly that.



Unfortunately the most common reason for a woman to be
unhappy after her augmentation is feeling as though she is either too big or
not big enough. Thankfully, in our practice this is rarely a problem because
implant size selection is what we spend most of our time discussing and determining.
I do not place the onus of selecting the actual breast implant size on my patients
since they are coming to me for my advice and expertise, but I do ask my
patients to be as specific as possible about their aesthetic goals and I then
advise them accordingly.

I would advise you to have this "visual" conversation with your plastic surgeon. If you are not confident that he or she is understanding your wishes, you should consider a second opinion and seek the advice of another  board certified
plastic surgeon experienced in breast enhancement surgery and make sure that
your own sense of aesthetics aligns with that of your plastic surgeon. Your
idea of “natural” or “pretty” or “proportionate” might be different from your
plastic surgeon’s and it is very important for you to feel confident that you
are both of like minds as far as the goals. Best of luck to you and I hope you
are successful in achieving the enhancement you are seeking.
