How Big is 300 or 350cc?

Jess in NJ
I’m getting a prophylactic mastectomy with implant reconstruction. I’m 5’8 and 168 lbs and wear a 36B. The doctor recommends direct implant recon and could put in a 350cc implant, worse case 300cc. He said putting in an expander might not be an option. Why do some patients not have an option to have expanders? Will a 350cc implant look really small on a woman my size? I’m worried that I won’t be happy if my breasts look too small after surgery and would like the look of at least a C cup.
