I am 5'2, 115/120 lbs, 34A/32B. I'm hoping to end up a small/med C cup. My doctor recommends round silicone, 265cc high profile. But now the internet has me questioning if I should go with the 295cc considering it's not too much bigger? I am absolutely terrified of going too big but will be disappointed if I go too small. I'm just worried that with the 265cc I'll end up smaller than I want because we are going under the muscle. Will the high profile make up for the lost cc's?

Answer: Breast augmentation sizing Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. Those sizes are quite similar and I recommend going with the larger one of the two to avoid size regret postoperatively. More importantly however I recommend going with moderate profile implants In smaller sizes to provide more cleavage if that’s what you are interested in. Best of luck.

Answer: Implant sizing Hi. The short answer as regards the volumes you suggest ,is that there is very little in it. In my practice, I use 3 elements to arrive at a suitable size range for any given individual. Each patient is asked to try on "testers" (sample sizers) in the office in a bra and show me the look they prefer with a sizer in a bra on one side. Secondly, this is then correlated with breast base measurements - the pre-operative breast base width being the most critical measurement, as this determines maximum implant base width for any given individual. So the patient can usually choose the desired implant projection, but not the width as this is decided based on existing anatomy. Other factors like whether the breast is firm or deflated, stable on the underlying muscle or loose are also taken in to account. Finally, a range of implants (each with a tester) is made available in the operating room, where final intra-operative sizing is done (based on the pre-op discussions, measurements etc) and an implant in then chosen at that time. I usually have 5 implant volumes available - one is the most likely "best fit", but I have 2 smaller sizes and 2 larger just to be certain that I get the best fit for any given patient. Every surgeon has their own system - make sure both you and the surgeon are on the same page!
