Saline Breast Implant Size Advice

January 14, 2009
Asked By:Floridamom2 in Orlando, Fl

I am going in for a pre-op appointment next week for a breast augmentation. I am currently a small B cup and would like to be a full C cup. I am 5'5 and 135lbs and I have broad shoulders. I am planning on going with the smooth moderate plus Saline Implant, but I can't decide between 375cc or 400cc. I was set on the 375cc, but everyone I talk to says to go w/the 400. For the end result, I would like to have somewhat natural-looking breasts that I can play down for school functions with the kids, or play up for a night out with my husband. I originally wanted silicone for the natural look and feel, but the cost is a little much right now. I am happy w/the way the 350cc looks in a sports bra, but I am aware that if they're placed under the muscle after surgery, the implants' size will appear smaller. Although the doctor took my measurements and I was in the 400cc area, I'm just afraid to go to big and don't want 'in your face' implants. Which between 375cc or 400cc do you advise I should go for? Thanks!
