225cc vs 250cc I can't decide & my surgery is in one week! I'm most concerned with looking too unnatural, but I also want to make sure I can tell the difference when it's all done with & I won't be sad about too small as I keep hearing people say. Now I am 112 lb 5'3" with very minimal breast tissue .. and have a smaller than avg upper rib cage frame

Answer: Implant selection Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. The difference between 225 and 250cc is difficult to detect. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Final implant size Thank you for your question. From your physical description, it sounds like you will do well with either size, and likely not look fake/unnatural. In my option, 25cc is unlikely to make a huge physical difference in how they look, but rather the difference is psychological. In general, I recommend women in my practice to pick the slightly larger size if there is any question between the two implants, because there are some woman who have a regret of not going "just a bit bigger." Even thought that small volume difference is unlikely to make a significant, noticeable difference in the final result. Good luck.
