Would 300 or 325 cc be the best size for me? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. #Breast #Augmentation is a procedure which is very customized to each woman. Please be sure to interview two or three #Board #Certified #Plastic #Surgeons who will #evaluate you, #discuss your desires and work with you to achieve the #optimal end result for you. Take the photo and information that you have posted to your evaluations and give it as an example for your #BCPS. Best wishes!

Hello,If one of those two sizes made you unhappy, the other wouldn't have made a difference, so don't obsess about 25 cc. Regardless, if you've had a few consults with responsible surgeons whose goals are your happiness and safety, you would have been informed about a few things:1. You don't know what size is 'good for you', and doing 'research' on the internet is a hazardous, unhelpful experience.2. No cup size can be guaranteed. There is no formula to equate implant volume with cup sizes. So stop thinking in cup size.  Instead, utilize in office sizing to determine how you want to look in the mirror. 3. Regardless of what is determined in #2, biodimensional planning should be prioritized to ensure not using an implant too large for your anatomy. Once you know that your surgeon used the biggest implant possible for your anatomy, you won't say afterward 'I should have gone bigger', because you'll have known you couldn't. If you haven't yet, please visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in cosmetic breast surgery.Best of luck!

I appreciate your question.

The size of implant best for you is dictated by your
chest wall measurements. Once we determine that we can choose the profile
based on what you want or need to achieve.  If you are seeking a natural look, then the diameter of the implant should be equal to or, more ideally, smaller than the width of your breast. The breast width is a measurement of how wide your breast is at the base, which should be measured at the level of the nipple. Choosing an implant that is smaller in diameter than your breast width will avoid the "side breast" fullness that is often associated with a more artificial appearance. Other than that, you should choose the implant based on volume, not on the dimensions of the implant. You should choose a board certified plastic surgeon that you trust to help guide you in this decision.

Silicone will give you a fullness at the
top (upper pole fullness).

Silicone implants come pre-filled with a
silicone gel and are the softest implant available. They feel more natural,
which makes them a good option for women with less natural breast tissue; but
they require a larger incision. It may be more difficult to realize if this
type of implant has ruptured, so it is important to monitor them with annual
follow-up visits. Additionally, because this implant contains a more liquid
silicone (less cross-linked), if this implant should rupture, it will leak only
into the scar capsule formed around the implant but may cause some discomfort
or implant distortion.

Anatomic gummy bear implants might be a
good choice to give you volume.

These highly-sought-after, anatomic
implants offer a look that more closely resembles the natural silhouette of a
breast, and, therefore, are a very attractive option for individuals seeking a
natural-looking, aesthetic primary breast augmentation. Additionally, these
implants are an especially excellent option for patients undergoing restorative
or corrective breast surgery because they provide more stability, shape, and
reduced incidence of capsular contracture. Compared to other types of silicone
gel implants, the silicone in the cohesive gel implant is more cross-linked;
therefore, should the implant shell “rupture,” it maintains its shape and
silicone does not leak.

During your breast augmentation
consultation, you should feel the different types of implants available, and
try on various implant sizers in front of a mirror to help you to get an idea
of how you will look following the surgery. You should also bring pictures of
the look you would like to achieve, as well as a favorite top to wear when
trying on implant sizers.

The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.Best of luck!
