When I first met with my doctor he stated that due to my body size and what not 325cc silicone implants would be best for me. I REALLY REALLY want bigger. I really want at least 340cc... it's been a few weeks now, and Thursday is my last meeting before my surgery and im praying he will agree to meet me half way with 340. I'm scared I'm gonna wake up from surgery and their gonna say they could only fit 300cc or something. I would be so depressed. ps I'm 5'3, 22 years old no kids, and 110 pounds.
Answer: Is it possible for me to get 340cc? I believe it is possible, however, I would need to know your chest measurements to be sure. I have placed implants much larger than 340cc in patients who appear as small as you. The difference in a 325 cc and 340 cc is very little and would be hardly noticeable. You may need Ultra-High Profile implants to fit your body size if you want to go larger than the recommended 325cc.Ask your PS to show you the various implant charts with the dimensions for the various sizes to see if this would work. It's important that you express to your PS your expectations. I'm sure he/she wants you to be happy also. No one wants an unhappy patient.Good luck with your procedure.

Answer: 325cc vs 340cc A 325cc would give you a very nice-- and noticeable-- improvement (see attached web reference below). There a very few instances where an additional 5% increase in volume would do harm. The width of that implant is only a few millimeters more than the 325. Anytime you use am implant width wider than your natural base width, there can be long term consequences. Most women in South Florida request implants that are wider than there natural base width. You should discuss again your concerns with your local BCPS. Good luck!

Answer: Wanting larger implants Hello, the difference in your recommended versus desired implant size is less than 5% which is quite small. If you have another followup appointment with your PS, you will have the opportunity to discuss the impact that this might have in terms of your final result and your risk of complications.

Answer: Shape and dimensions are much more important than cc's or simple size in breast augmentation It looks like you are planning your surgery with a round highly projecting implant in a sub pectoral or dual-plane position which will give you the typical "augmented" look with widely spaced/separated and very round breasts. My preference is to create a much more natural appearance that starts near midline and has soft slopes that blend with the body. For this reason I use a technique called Cold-Subfascial Breast AugmentationR and anatomically shaped implants. I agree with what other surgeons have said that the size difference you are considering is negligible. If you like the separated and round appearance of the simulation you will likely be happy either way but if you want a more natural appearance you will have to rethink the plan. I hope this helps!All the best,Rian A. Maercks M.D.

Answer: Is it possible for me to get 340cc? Thank you for the question and pictures. 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. Unfortunately, online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice (regarding specific breast implant size/profile) to be truly helpful. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant type/size/profile selection) is:
