Is 325cc or 300cc better for me? I'm petite, 4'11", 95lbs and looking for natural but full breasts (Photo)

It is not likely that the difference between 300 and 325 will cause a problem.  If you are trying to decide, I would suggest 325 might be better.The best way
to determine the size that fits your personal perception of the perfect breast
is to try on sizers. This way you can see how they fit on you, how they add to
your current volume, and whether they fit your frame. Although the surgeon can
guide you, only you will be able to tell what is the right size. Try on sizers.
Measuring a diameter and then telling the patient what volume they can
have (in high, moderate or moderate plus implants) in my mind is backwards. The
patients should be allowed to choose the volume. Then the surgeon carefully
considers the base diameter, projection, profile, manufacturer, and fill
material that will achieve the patients goals of size as well as qualitative
look (natural, intermediate, or bold upper pole fullness or projection), all
the while taking into consideration the patient's anatomic features that will
affect the outcome. The experience of the surgeon and the degree to which
they explain the options to you is of utmost importance. The subtlety in the
final outcome is not achieved by which profile implant is used, it is
determined by the skill in the creation of the pocket, the choice of implant.
Don't let the doctor tell you what would look good on you. They cannot tell
what you perceive to be the best size. That is up to you.

Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this:
1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size)
2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies
3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D)
4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts.

Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you. Also, just FYI, each surgeon's measurements are slightly different, so numbers, experience, and overall aesthetic from one surgeon aren't necessarily the same as those from another surgeon!

Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case.

I'm actually located right here in Los Angeles. I hope this helps!

Either size is appropriate. 325 is not excessively large at all.  Usually when a patient is undecided between two sizes I recommend they go with the larger size, unless that size is ridiculous.

The difference between 300 and 325 cc is very subtle. You'll be happy with either one.       Justin Yovino MD

Hi.... Thank you for the question... In cases like yours... If you are interested in natural look... I suggest 300cc HP under muscle.

Thank you for your question.  Your question is not an easy one to answer, as there are a lot of factors to consider when selecting a particular size implant.  The most important thing to do is to voice to your surgeon your expectations of a final result.  They will be able to steer you to the right implant style and size.  Certainly the amount of cc's is an important determinant about ultimate size, but many other patient and implant variables affect your final result.  Your physician may also be able to talk to you about other methods of visualizing what the different volumes will look like for your particular frame. 

Your plastic surgeons recommended implants size seems appropriate.  Typically patients wish they were bigger post op.  I the larger implant (325) may be your best choice.  

Most patients cannot tell the difference between implants that are 25 cc's in difference. I wouldn't really stress this. However you can lean in the direction you would like depending on whether you would prefer size over 'naturalness'. Still with only 25 cc's difference it will probably not make a significant difference.  Best of Luck  Dr Harrell

There is little difference between those two sizes.  Your surgeon will be able to help you decide but remember that a significant number of women feel that they went too small after a few months of living with their implants  On the other hand, the smaller you go, the more natural the look.  It is easy to dress to hide your breasts when you need to but it is hard to hide in a bikini.  Good luck with your decision.

The difference as the other responders correctly pointed out is minimal between 300 and 325cc implants. I would guess that you'd be more  satisfied with the larger size all things being equal. The best way to judge however is to let the doctor and his staff help you with your sizing in the office. The 3-D Vectra system can be
