Debating on sizes 345cc or 365cc for 36B. I'm 125 lbs, 5’1" (Photo)

Question

I am debating between sizes, I left my pre op signing on 385 but I keep thinking back that this will look huge on me the more I think about it. I have attached a picture of my exact wish pic, and me trying on 400+ implants at an older appt. My man goals are to improve my shape to a nice circular shape with cleavage for low cut shirts like in the picture. The nurse recommended 385 just to get center cleavage however this seems absurd..Please help :(

Hello thank you for your question. The implant size is usually based on the width of your breast on the chest wall. Implants do not change the shape of your breast tissue. Implants add volume to what you have. I suggest bringing those wish pics to your next appointment. This will give you a better idea of what you are getting. You should seek in person consultation with your plastic surgeon and go over the options once again. check out our website for some more knowledge and before and after photos.

You should be able to achieve your stated goals with any of the sizes you are considering.  The 20cc difference is less than 2 tablespoons, so the effect once implants are placed in the body will not be very noticeable.  I encourage you to return to your surgeon's office to further discuss your concerns as it seems you are uncomfortable with the 385cc.  Be sure you are discussing the profile of the implants as well which will make a difference.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style 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 size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Good afternoon,
Sounds like you're not ready for 385cc, so why not go with the 365cc? The 345cc seems a bit too small, so I think the 365cc may be perfect!

Robert M. Tornambe, MD · Answer

I appreciate your concern, because size does matter when seeking a natural looking result in breast augmentation. I ask my patients to bring in photos of breasts the size they desire, because there can otherwise be confusion because B or C cup can vary greatly by brassiere manufactures! 
I also utilize the implant in the bra technique, with several different implant sizes with a tighter fitting T-shirt to get an idea of what you will look like. Finally, I prefer to meet with my breast implant patients at least twice before surgery, so I am confident that I know exactly what her desires regarding shape and size are. I then have several sized implants in the patient's desired range available in the OR to allow me to tailor the operation to fit her needs. 
Be certain your surgeon understands your desires and you should do great as this operation carries a very high satisfaction rate. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck
