310cc vs 345cc Gummy Bear Implant?

Question

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.

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. It is a very exciting time and also can be somewhat anxiety promoting as well, especially went it comes to sizing. The two sizes you are deciding on are very close and really what it comes down to is the measurements that are taken during your consult/preop visit of your breast footprint. I would rely on your surgeon to help you thru the process as he/she knows your body better than anyone here.

Good luck.

Good luck.

The two implants you are considering only differ by 35cc which will not make much of a visible difference.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon and go with the one that she/he feels will fit the breast space and your surgical goals the best.  With your height you should be able to fit the 345cc well if you choose that 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,
