Have my surgery in about two weeks & I’m conflicted between choosing 310cc or 345cc. I am currently around an A-cup & want to achieve a full C-cup. I am around 5’10 and 140lbs. I’m athletic and muscular but also have some curve to me, with a small waist & big hips. I’m very pear shaped with alot of weight and muscle residing in my legs. I chose 310cc at my pre-op but now am wondering if I should go bigger considering my build. I’m worried about going too small and regretting it.

Answer: Choosing the right implant If you’re uncertain about implant choice, then I suggest you follow up with your surgeon and discuss your decision with him or her. Each plastic surgeon has their own way of deciding the right shape and size of implants. I personally make the decision in the operating room and have a clear understanding of which patients are hoping to achieve best in reviewing lots and lots of before and after pictures. I typically use temporary sizers during surgery to get results consistent with what the patient displayed their wishes to during previous discussions. I typically have lots of implants available available during surgery to accommodate that goal. If the decision has been placed in your hands, that you are the one who needs to make the decision. If you can’t make a decision on your own, then get assistance from your surgeon. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
