Doctor stated I should go with 325cc moderate plus but I really like 350cc plus. Should I go with 350cc moderate plus? (Photos)

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Your surgeon has provided you with a recommended size based on several factors, including your goals, measurements and what they consider to be a realistic and safe option. While 25cc is not a significant difference, you may want to discuss your concerns with your surgeon and find out if 350cc is possible.

Thanks for your question! I think that you should choose whatever implant makes you happy (that will work surgically). You live with them so you should be happy with them. The biggest regret is not going big enough. Good luck!

Hello @Jennyp924 thank you for your question. It is vital to make an assessment to consider other factors that also need to be considered when deciding the size of the implant so that they can be determined in a personal and accurate manner, not only the size, but also the volume, location and type of implant. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

Dear Jennyp924,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

If you want 350 I think that’s fine. It’s really not going to make that much difference but you’re paying for it. Get what you want so there’s no regret later.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. The difference between 325 & 350 is marginal. You should pick the size that you like best and discuss the likelihood of achieving those results using the chosen implants with your board certified plastic surgeon. You are a great candidate and will have a great result.

Twenty five cc's should not be a problem with your frame, so go up to that size if you want. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

Implant selection is always done best in person. The difference between the two sizes you are considering is less than a tablespoon of volume. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Together you will select the implant that is best for you.

they is very little difference, if you look at the implant chart, between 325 cc and 350cc. you should definitely get what you want since this is a reasonable request. Almost all women are very pleased that they did their BA. However, in surveys, about 10% of women wished they went a bit larger.

best of luck
