Breast Augmentation Volume. I was thinking between 250-300cc but my doctor recommends 350-360. Any advice?

You are correct to be careful in choosing breast implant size for a natural result because you are petite and have little or no body fat. However, you do have breast tissue, and your breasts are very small but attractive. You can easily obtain a natural result with round smooth implants in the sub muscular plane.​ I do think that 250-300 cc mL implants are a reasonable size for your body type and breast base diameter, but physical examination is always needed. I also like to use the implant in brassiere technique to try different size implants to assist patients in choosing the best size for them. Another nice exercise is finding photographs of breast size that you like, and show them to your plastic surgeon. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon And be certain that he or she understands your desires! Good luck!

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.

Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size. If you are size 32 or 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. If you are size 36 or 38, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. From this, you can compute the volume required to achieve your desired goal. I recommend smaller implants.
