Do You Lose 50 Cc's with Behind the Muscle Silicone Implant Placement?

ADWSep 22, 2008

I am getting silicone breast implants on Friday and am really scared of going too big. I am currently a "B"; I want to be a "C". I have chosen 350cc in hopes they will look like the 300-325 implant I tried at my doctor's office.
