I am petite, 5’1, 115 lbs, but have a wide ribcage/chest width, 12 cm. Second-guessing 375 cc HP decision. Thoughts?

Asked By:GeorgiaPeach2 in Atlanta, GA

My breast with measures 12 cm- pretty wide for my otherwise petite frame. I have sagging breasts (from nursing) and barely fit an A cup. A Mentor HP 375 cc silicone implant was chosen to properly contour/fit my frame, but I am now considering a Moderate + profile in 300 cc to give same width, but less obvious projection. 375 cc HP just looks so HUGE. Does anyone have pictures comparing the two profiles on starting stats similar to mine? Surgery is soon and I am afraid of making the wrong choice.
