I am 5'4 and weigh about 130lbs. I am currently a size 34A. I am looking to achieve the "natural & full" look and would like to end up at a full C cup. My doctor recommended 375cc but I have read many reviews online and have seen hat many patients end up wishing they had gone a little bit bigger. I'm stuck between going a bit bigger to 400cc or keeping the 375cc suggestion. I am afraid that 400cc would look too big for my grand and in turn, make my behind look smaller.
Answer: 375 or 400 cc? When trying to decide what implant size, the best way is to use sizers in the office prior to surgery. This allows you to visualize what it will likely look like. Of course there will be slight variations in the look, depending on what clothing you use to try them, and how they are chosen for you, but this gives you a great idea of the balance with the rest of your body.The visual difference between 375 and 400 cc is quite small, and visually you will notice this mostly by an increase in your cleavage. When I have a patient that isn't sure which she prefers between the two, I usually recommend erring on the side of going larger. This has kept people quite happy and less regrets about size!

Answer: Trust your surgeon Trust your surgeon. If they say 375cc then that's probably what you should stick with. However, if you are very concerned that you'll regret going smaller, then choose 400cc, since it's not that significant of a difference.

Answer: Breast implant sizes A 25 cc difference in 400 cc implants is minimal, therefore I would recommend the slightly larger volume, especially if you tried the in the office and liked the overall aesthetics and feel of this implant.

Answer: Implant size Without examining you or at least seeing the photos- it is difficult to comment accurately. When it comes to picking the right size-- it is always best to do it in person during your examination/ consultation. If you have doubts about the size- come back to your surgeon's office and go through the sizing process again, and discuss your concerns. Generally speaking the difference in size between 375 and 400cc is very minor.

Answer: Breast implant size. Hello Mbula and thanks for your post. For a "natural & full" look consider a tear drop implant like a MemoryShape in a MM or MM+ style. You are welcome to see lots of before and afters of shape devices on my website. As far as sizing:1) My philosophy includes guiding patients to explore reasonable options for breast implant size, usually two to three similar sizes, which allows the patient to visualize how different volumes affect their breast cup. 2) The best guide for a final breast implant size recommendation is derived using measurements from the patient’s own breasts and chest. 3) When measurements are considered then options for sizes can be presented. 4) I use the Mentor Volume Sizing System of breast sizers to demonstrate how these different volumes will look on a patient’s body. 5) This methods offers good reliability and is simple to use, but is not perfect.Where I'm at, patients tend to lean more towards the larger versus the smaller, but it varies from person to person. Best, Dr. ALDO
