My Doctor measured me and said proportionately I should go 390 cc. For me, that would be too large. My mother got her breasts done and they look great on her but I still would have gone a bit smaller. She is 5'5 and weighs 130 lbs, she got 325 cc. I just do not want to look HUGE in a swim suite. I am tall so ppl are saying they will look fine on me. Is there a big difference between 325 cc to 350 cc? I am almost leaning towards the 325.
Answer: Breast augmentation
Breast beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The reality is the 25 cc difference in volume translates into a few millimeters difference. Having said that in my experience patients would rather err on the smaller size than the larger size. There are a few sizing systems out there to try on to be more confident in your size choice, good luck.

Answer: Implant size selection to achieve your goals I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation. Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. If you have decided on saline implants, then based on the gel sizer you select, we can guide you to the saline implant that achieves a similar look. Hope this helps. Dr. Basu Houston, TX
