I'm 5'4 120 llbs and currently a 34a. I am considering 400 cc implants. I also was thinking 350cc implants looked nice too with the sizers on but I don't want to regret going too small. I also liked how other women looked in pics with 400 cc. I just am afraid of them looking too big or not natural. I want to be a 34c or small d.

Answer: Implant size and high profile implants
Hi, I think you are choosing a really nice size for your frame. I would go for the 400 cc implant only because it is merely 50 cc's (just over 3 tablespoons) and you then will know that you chose just a little larger of an implant but very little extra. If you ask augmented patients how they feel about the implants they chose, if there is a complaint, it will be that they did not go large enough. Of course, there is a line that is drawn but not when you are choosing from a 350 or 400 cc implant. Add your breast volume to the implants being discussed and you will understand that these implants in your body are just about the same in visual appearance.

Answer: 400cc high profile?
I think this would look very nice on you. I think you will achieve the results you wish. But rather than focusing on the type of implant profile or the number of cc's or bra cup size (with is inaccurate and manufacturer dependent), I would recommend you communicate very clearly your expectations and desires. Your plastic surgeon will decide with you on the profile of the implant based on the breast width, your body shape, skin elasticity and thickness and native breast tissue present. In my practice I usually explain the implant types, profile and rationale for using different implants/ profiles. I also use the a special sizing system pre-op and have patients try them inside a bra so they can get a sense of their look. I never tell them what size I have picked until they show me the "look" they REALLY desire by trying on the sizing system in our office. Then we sit down and evaluate "the look" they have chosen and see if it matches what I have chosen by measurements and physical exam. It does make it both fun and is a healthier partnership between patients and the PS. Speak with your plastic surgeon.
