I am getting my breasts done in two weeks. I am 28 years old, 5'5, 100 pounds, and a 32A (small A). I wanted to be a full B small C.I dont want to go too big (or make it so obvious I had them done) so I decided to go with 325cc although my husband thinks i should do 350 since "they're isn't much of a difference between them". He read a posting saying that within a year the breast wont be as full. What is your recommendation?
Answer: 325 vs 350
There is not much difference between a 325 and 350 cc implant. There are several variables in determining implant size. When recommending implant size for my patients, I consider the followings: 1) patients' anatomy (height, weight, chest width, chest height, amount of breast tissue) and 2) patients' desired look/goal. Without knowing your chest measurement and breast tissue amount, I cannot give you any recommendation. You should visit with board-certified plastic surgeon who will examine you. Try implant sizers to get a rough estimate of the size you may want. As you know, bra/cup size will vary depending on the brand. Good luck with you.

Answer: 325 versus 350
Lisa: this is small potatoes. (No pun intended). The difference between the two size implants is negligible. The most important aspect of the implant is the base width, the projection and the vertical height of the implant. Accordingly, a 350 mL implant may actually have more projection than a 325 mL implant if the base widths are different. The real issue, is whether it is worth arguing with your spouse over this minuscule difference. My vote would be to give into the 350 mL, and just be sure of the base width of the implant is what you would like.
If this is a real issue..(it should not be) your implants might be with you longer than your husband.
