Help me figure out if I should go for 300cc or 330cc (Photo)

Dear Pinacoladalyff, thank you for your question. The truth is 330 cc vs 300 cc will likely not make that dramatic of a difference. It is a 10% difference by volume, and I would be willing to bet with a bra and clothes on most people might not be able to notice a difference. With that said, it has been my experience that when patients come back and are not happy with implant size, it is usually the case that they wish they would have gone a little bit bigger rather than the opposite. Hope this helps. All the best, Brian

Thank you for your question. When patients are trying to decide on implant size, I typically recommend going with the slightly bigger one if your indecisive. Reason being 50 cc's is close to a shot glass worth of fluid so it's not a tremendous difference. Once the implant settles most patients will be happy with their decision. Now if you surgeon is strongly recommending the smaller size then I would go with their recommendation. I would suggest speaking with your surgeon in detail to help narrow down your decision.

Hi & thanks for your question!
There is not that big of of difference between 300cc & 330cc. Most patients opt for the bigger size and are happier for it. Try both on again. Best wishes!

Thank you for this question. We get this alot in our practice. When people question volume we ask them about what they are looking for a “natural” shape? A “little more than natural” shape? Or a “wow those are fake!” Shape.
This helps us determine the profile of implant you get. If you are set on a moderate profile for the more natural shape it will not make a difference other than in Width of your breast. The projection of 30cc is non-existant. In other words a moderare profile implant to go up in size projects the same. Adding “volume” is adding width. To add projection you chose a higher profile that is the same diameter that fits within YOU. That may be 60cc more but again thats only 2x full medicine cups...not alot in reality.
We hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question and photos. Either size would look great on you. A 30cc difference is not much at all. You and the only one that can make the final determination. I have included a video in hopes that it helps. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend 330cc as it is not much different and it is both natural looking size.

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. 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. You should also be aware that results of surgery can change in the future with significant weight change and/or stretching of skin from the milk of pregnancy.

You would see very little difference in the volume of your breasts when comparing these implants. You will frequently hear women say that they wished they had gone slightly larger. But, as far as looking more natural, in general the smaller implant will look more natural.

Thank you for your question and photographs.  I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result.  Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would continue to discuss with your surgeon your concerns to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations.  It sounds as if it may be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like, although the difference in 30cc will be difficult to see.  Best wishes!

Using in office, purpose built sizers, you can see in real time how you will look. Don't play the guessing game. This eliminates any risk of wrong size complication and re-operation.
