5'8 and 135 Lbs Size 34 B Cup. Would 350 Cc Make my Breasts Too Big in a Bikini?

     The difference in 350 ml and 325 ml is imperceptible to most observers.  Also, remember that any implant placed under the muscle is blunted.  So, anything you think that looks good when you are sizing prior to surgery -- add about 50 ml to that.  If you like 300 ml, then go with 350 ml.

 
Thank you for the question.
 As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise  advice online.


Generally speaking, you will find that comparisons with your mother's situation will not be helpful. Also, you will find that the difference between 325 mL versus 350 mL is not significant.

The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:


 

1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.  Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.



2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals  with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining  breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural or huge”  or “C cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.



 

3.  Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.





I hope this helps.

Hello JRenee,

Give yourself a break! 

As a woman and a board certified plastic surgeon, I always have the ladies try on the sizers at the time of their consultation with me so that they will know what they are choosing.

Rather than trying to guess what 390 , 350 or 325 cc are going to look like AFTER the surgery, try on sizers BEFORE the surgery and DECIDE FOR YOURSELF WHAT LOOKS GOOD TO YOU!  Bring in a few t shirts, bathing suits, dresses, whatever YOU NEED to better help you to know what you are doing.

 Clear expectations  = Happy lady

Remember, you are a part of the decision making TEAM.  

Thanks for asking!  Dr Ellen
