Hi there! I am getting a breast augmentation done on Friday and am agonizing over my size. I am 5'2, curvy and am about 105 lbs. My chest diameter is 24". I am debating between 175cc and 200cc. My fear is that all of the pictures I see that I LOVE with 200cc's, the women have larger chests than me. I am barely an A cup and one of my biggest fears is that after going through all this pain (and spending all this money) that i still feel too small! I know this seems trivial, but im desperate!
Answer: Between 175cc and 200cc
Foolish choices since there are both within statistical variation. If you were debating between 175 cc and 275 cc than from your photo I would recommend the bigger size. The #1 compliant is "I wish I would have gone bigger"!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Impossible 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.

Answer: You will be small!
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

Answer: Caught between 2 implants (sizes): 25cc is less than 2 tablespoons
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.

Answer: Breast Implants 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
