If im a 6ft female with 34c breasts to begin with , im tossing between two sizes. My original thought for my second consultation was 275cc moderate high profile round implants that filled my double c test bra. But, i tried on 300cc and barely noticed a difference. I have ordered both sizes but will there be much difference between the two?

Answer: Implant size Dear mackenzied_, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Breast implant volume Thanks for your question. You are unlikely to notice a significant difference between a 275cc and 300cc implant. The volume is not the only factor to consider when considering sizing a breast implant - the base width and the projection are at least as important. Having an implant with dimensions appropriate for your body shape that will achieve the look that you desire are more important than the absolute volume.
