I am 5'6" tall, weighing 118 pounds. I want to have 300cc high profile to get more fullness. I am a 34A right now and my breast measurement is 12". My doctor wanted me to have 280cc breast implants because he says sometimes, the implants will bigger if you go smaller as it won't thin out the chest wall. He also said the HP will look really fake but I want a rounder look. What should I do? Will this look bad? He uses Allergan.

Answer: Breast implant sizing
It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is “I wish I was bigger”.
I hope this helps.

Answer: 300cc or 280cc Breast Implants for Rounder Look
Twienty cc is a minimal difference and will make little, if any, impact on the outcome of the procedure.
