Size Help! Debating Between 175cc and 200cc

You are doing the right thing in paying attention to other women’s results, especially if you are using a doctor because he was your friend’s surgeon. That being said, those women are not you. Your body and breasts are not like anyone else’s. Talk to your surgeon about the best size for you. Your doctor and his staff can help you with your decision since they are the only ones who know your specific situation. 25 ccs is a small amount, but what is more important is that you get the desired appearance afterwards.

If you go with either of the implant sizes suggested you will be very small.  I do not know what you desire but most women desire a go bit of fullness.  Oversimplified, this usually starts the discussion with implant sizes around the 300 cc mark.

Good Luck

Let me put this in perspective: 25cc is less than two tablespoons. It really doesn't make that much of a difference and probably is equivalent to the amount your breasts vary in size between menstrual cycles. If you are equivocating, I would advise that you go with the 200 based on my experience. If that is too big, it is likely that you would have thought 175cc was too big as well.

It is absolutely impossible for you to tell whether a certain sized implant will fit your body based on a picture. I suggest finding some photos of women you find attractive and letting your plastic surgeon decide on a size. 

Hi, thank you for your question on which implant size would be best for you.
Right now it sounds like you’re considering 175cc and 200cc. Since there is no way to say definitively
over the internet which size would be optimal for you, take comfort in the fact
that the surgeon uses your unique measurements and is able to provide you with
a general range. In many cases the board
certified plastic surgeon can best be your guide as they’ve met with you in
person and heard your aesthetic goals. You may consider doing 3-D imaging;
however with nearly all the breast cases we’ve performed, we’ve found patients
enjoy doing a live “try on” session where they actually can “try on” the
implant in a non-padded bra in our office.
This does not give an exact measurement of outcome, rather it gives a
nice idea of what to expect. For patients who desire a more natural look we
like to recommend the shaped implant.
For patients who desire a more full, voluptuous look we recommend a
higher profile implant. And remember that all breasts have at least some amount
of asymmetry (we like to say they’re like sisters and not twins). My very best to you. – Dr. Brian Coan
