225cc vs 250cc - which one will give me what I'm looking for? (Photo)

Hi. IMHO neither of theses sizes will give you the small C you are looking for. I feel you would benefit from a 325cc high profile silicone gel inserted through the infra-mammary fold in a partial submuscular position to give you a natural look. I am certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and have practiced in the"land of breast implants", Miami, for the past 30 years. I encourage you to look up the surgeon you eventually select and make sure they have years of experience in performing cosmetic breast surgery. Furthermore request to see before and after photos of previous patients by that doctor....not a clinic or surgery center. Do your homework......research and verify the doctor's credentials. Have they had problems with the Board of Medicine, disciplinary or otherwise. Any law suits? LOOK UP REVIEWS!How about the center, clinic or facility? Are they accredited by a national organization or do they just have State approval. Understand that at the current time, there are three nationally recognized organizations responsible for the highest levels of patient safety, AAAASF, AAACH and JCHO. You owe it to yourself to position yourself for the best possible results but under the most stringent safety regulations, If you have kids, even more so.How about anesthesia? Will you have a medical doctor certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology or a certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA)? Understand that there is no substitute for research. Cosmetic surgery, no matter how simple it may be to the patients, are invasive procedures and as such carry certain risks and complications.Do you want to remain locally for your surgery or are you willing to travel?I wish you the best on your journey. I hope that the info provided has been helpful. Should you require any further clarification, do not hesitate to contact our institute. I answer all questions personally, not through patient coordinators or other marketing individuals.In our office we use TouchMD which is a web based program in which patients have the ability to load their picture unto the program. I then evaluate them and can actually draw on the picture to show a potential patient where the incisions would be located and how the procedure is to be realized. It's all done to comply with HIPPA which is the federal law that protects the patient's medical information.Good luck, Dr. PG

Hi Victoria, I see you already have 10 replies to your post and wanted to make sure you got this.   I agree that either implant will work reasonably well, but I suggest you consider the 250cc.  I don't think you will look "out of proportion" with either, but you also expressed concerns of not looking too small.  Six months after your surgery, you would likely be glad that you went with a little drop bigger. Please see attached web reference.  Good luck!

Thanks for the question.I recommend you to use microtexturized highly cohesive silicone implant ("gummy bear" implants), with high projection, and 350ml will be excelent on you, to fill the breasts properly.Kind regards,Dr.Emmanuel Mallol.-

You are in the right size range now make sure you pick a well respected board certified plastic surgeon. I think this is as important a size since a bad operation is as bad as the wrong size selection. Good Luck!

Thank you for your questions and photograph and congratulations on your upcoming surgery.  Because it is impossible to offer definite implant size advice without some of your key breast parameters I would recommend you trying on these different size implants in your surgeon's office to obtain a better visual representation as to what each would look like.  25cc is not a substantial difference and both look as if they would be good sizes on your current frame.  Best wishes.
