Answer: 25cc difference Hello and thank you for your question. I leave it almost completely up to my patients to chose what size implant they think is best for them. Only you, the patient, truly knows what kind of look you are going for and how large you want your breasts to be. Only the patient truly knows what they consider to be "too big." The main limitation I give to my patients is based on their breast base width. I do not place implants that are wider than that number. When it comes to patients who are choosing between to implants I usually recommend them to chose the larger one as long as it still fits their measurements. I explain that one of the most common complaints after breast augmentation is that patients wish they went bigger. I also inform them that when you are trying on implants on top of the breast what you see is not necessarily what you get. It gives you a very good idea of how they may look but they will likely look a little smaller once they are placed in the breast. Also, 25cc is a very small difference. 25cc is about half a shot glass! In the end however, it is up to you. Hopefully you are being evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon. Wish you all the best in your breast augmentation journey!Ankur Mehta MD

Answer: 350cc or 375cc silicone...145 lbs Thank you for your question. Your breast implant size should be determined by a measurement of the base width of your breast which your plastic surgeon should measure. There is very little difference between 350 and 375 cc breast implant and if you have an appropriate base with the 375 cc then he certainly can use that size. I am uncertain why you have chosen implants on top of the muscle, there many advantages to having the implant placed beneath the chest muscle. You can do the Rice test at home to see how he size will look.For more information on breast implant sizing and the Rice test please read below:
