Teardrop Breast Implants Above the Muscle for Slim Build?

mirrors
I am booked in for Breast Augmentation in September. I am 5'4" and slim, weighing 53 kg, with small B cup. I also run about 4 miles per day. My surgeon suggested teardrop implants as he believes round implants will sit too high. The 2 sizes I am deciding between are 290 cc or 330 cc teardrop placed above the muscle. Is this suitable for slim athletic build? I am hoping to end up a medium C cup not a D. Can anyone could suggest the implant size for someone of my height and weight to acheive medium C cup? I would greatly appreciate it.
