I am 5'6, 125lbs, 34B wanting to be a full C Cup after a breast augmentation, and I have a 12 cm. breast diameter. The only high profile implants that has a 12.0 cm. breast diameter is a 425cc. I feel that this implant size is too big. Can I go with a 375cc which fits a breast diameter of 11.7 cm. or can I go with a 400cc that fits a breast diameter of 11.9? My platic surgeon's nurse said the 375 or 400 would be too narrow and that I should go with a 425-475cc, but I really want a 375cc-400cc. What size cc should I go with? What size is too narrow or too wide?

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Implant Sizing What you really need to show your plastic surgeon is what look you are going for. From there on your plastic surgeon should be the one to look over the implant sizing and decide what implant works for the look you are trying to achieve. I would start with doing the rice test, which I have posted on the journal part of my website, http://www.feplasticsurgery.com/journal/orange-county-breast-augmentation-sizing/66/. This will help determine the volume and how big you want to be. After that you surgeon can help you with the implants and give you an idea of what kind of look the moderate will give you, what the moderate plus and what the high profile will give you. Good luck.

Answer: Choosing the right implant size Hi Danielle1986 - 25-50cc makes very little difference in the size of the implants. If you're looking for projection, you may want to go with the slightly larger implants as many women wish they were bigger after undergoing an augmentation. If you're in doubt, you can fill plasic bags with varying cc's of water and place the bags in your bra to get an idea of the size that you want. Good luck!
