I am 5'3"- 130 lbs, getting Allergan, gel, smooth moderate implants (dual plane). I am currently a 36A and hoping to add volume to my deflated breasts. I do not want to be top heavy nor do I have "boob greed". Trying to decide between 330 cc and 345 cc. Both implants have been ordered and will be there on the day of surgery. I have heard the implants can appear anywhere from 5-10% smaller once inside. Help!
Answer: Breast Implant Sizes A 15 cc difference is essentially 3 teaspoons and is insignificant. I would trust your doctor to make the decision for you based on your breast dimensions or size up as the majority of women wish they were bigger after the surgery when the implants drop and the swelling goes down.

Answer: Hard to say- you'd need a consult | Breast Implants | Augmentation | Lift | Fat Grafting | Aesthetic Plastic Surgery | Expert Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size) 2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies 3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D) 4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts. Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you. Also, just FYI, each surgeon's measurements are slightly different, so numbers, experience, and overall aesthetic from one surgeon aren't necessarily the same as those from another surgeon! Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps! Dr. Donald Groves Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon

Answer: 330cc vs 345cc Thanks for your question! To be honest, the difference between these two implants is not much. I always advise my patients that if they are torn between two sizes, go with the larger of the two. Best of luck!

Answer: Deciding between 330 and 345cc implants Thanks for your question. The difference in size between these two implants is only a few millimeters so regardless which you choose, the outcome should be nearly the same. Your surgeon will be the best source of advice on implant sizing since this is based on information obtained during a physical examination (like breast dimensions, tissue thickness, skin tone, and nipple position). Your surgeon will be able to help you fine tune your decision.

Answer: Choosing your breast implant size There is very little difference in 15cc. This may equate to a 1mm change in dimension, at most. It is honestly more about choosing a size that you are comfortable with, but I suspect neither you or your surgeon will be able to tell the difference. I usually tell people in this situation to choose the large size, so that you won't be second-guessing your decision and wondering if you should have went bigger....when it won't make a difference anyway.
