Whether to get 250 or 2755CCs during breast augmentation in 3 weeks? Currently a 32A, 5'4, 109 lbs, toned but petite.

Take a measuring cup from your cough syrup or other medicine, and fill it to 25ml.  This is the difference between 250 and 225cc.  You will see that it is a tiny difference in volume.  Try both sizes on with your surgeon.  If one size looks perfect to you, that's the size you pick.  If you cannot decide, always, always, always pick the larger size.Good luck!

Thank you for your question and series of photographs.  It is difficult without an in-person evaluation to recommend the best implant size for you, but what I would recommend would be trying on these implant sizes in your surgeons office using a bra and tight fitting shirt. It should give you a better representation as to what your result will look like.   Ultimately a 25cc difference is less than a total ounce spread over the entire size of the implant so there will not be a significant measurable difference.  Hope this helps.

I would suggest 3D photographic imaging to determine the precise implant size to give you the result you want.  You will be able to visualize exactly what a specific implant will look like on your body and choose the one you like the best.

go big or stay home! lol! J/k.  You will do fine with either of those sizes.  My suggestion is to go to the larger size.  As a matter of fact..even consider the 300cc.  You are going to look great mainly because your pre surgery anatomy will help with that.  Good luck. Enjoy your transformation.  Have fun. Dr Vasisht

Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Not sure there's a big difference between the two implants since it's only 25cc. It's hard to determine your best size without specific BREAST measurements and an in person exam. Remember to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who actually takes the time to measure you and examine your breast pocket. The goal of breast augmentation is to optimally fill your breast pocket, not to overstuff or understuff it. At my practice, we utilize a series of 5 breast measurements that help me determine the implant size, which in turn helps me deliver a 24 hour recovery. Do your research and choose a surgeon who takes the time to sit down with you and discuss your goals/expectations to determine the best size for you. Remember that sizers will only give you a rough estimate. Good luck!!

There are various ways that plastic surgeons counsel their patients on implant size.  In my practice, I try to encourage people not to get caught up on the "numbers" or the "cup size."  When individuals look at pre and post op photos and see numbers like 250cc or 400cc, they feel that that number will make their own breasts look like the ones in the photos.  However, the individual in the photo is probably at a different starting point with breast volume and base width, etc.  So a 250cc implant on them may not look anything like a 250cc implant on you.  Cup sizes differ between manufacturers, so that is also unreliable.  I think that focusing on numbers and cup sizes is what is responsible for people not always being happy with their postoperative size (#1 complaint for those undergoing breast augmentation is that they didn't go big enough).    What I have found works best for me is to look at proportions on "wish pics."  My patients send me photos of what they would like their desired proportions to look like.  Then I ask that they place trust in my hands to get them as close to those proportions as I can do intraoperatively.  I use sizers prior to selection of the permanent implants to help me get a good idea of what things will look like.  This has worked extremely well with my patients.  The tradeoff is that you will need to find a plastic surgeon who you feel understands your goals and who you trust to make those decisions intraoperatively.  Good luck with your upcoming surgery!For more information on breast augmentation, please visit the link below.

My over the internet guesses are you need over 300 cc HP implants! Do not be the regret patient who says, " I wish I had gone bigger!

Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical. Given that your surgery is coming up soon, I would suggest that you spend additional time communicating your goals/concerns directly with your plastic surgeon, preferably prior to the date of surgery.Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of know words such as “natural” or "B or C cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation surgery for petite patients) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

There is almost no difference . A total of 25 cc is less than one ounce . Review again with your surgeon and together you can make the final decision but in my practice I would say there is hardly a difference especially when considering their respective base diameters . Best wishes
