I was hoping to go up to 325 but the doctor told me today that since I have such a narrow upper body and I am petite that the largest I should go should be 250 or so. What is confusing me is that I've seen SO many breast augmentation's that I think I am begging to blur the line between what looks "natural" and what looks "fake" so my worry is what if I though something look "natural" and to him he thinks it looks "fake" and won't make me that big.

Answer: Choosing a breast implant
Sizing patients for breast implants can be challenging. In my opinion, your surgeon should base this decision by measuring your breasts and evaluating your chest anatomy and skin quality. Often, this results in recommending implants that are smaller or sometimes larger than a patient may request. Finding the "right fit" will help give you a result that is proportional to your frame and can help avoid some implant related complications.

Answer: 325 cc...
... may be perfect for you depending on your height, weight and body frame. It also depends on whether you are using saline or silicone implants. My experience is that a 325cc saline implant gives the same projection as a 350-375cc gel implant due to differences in the turgor of the device. However, without examining you it is hard to say what size is ideal. It can be helpful for you to try different size implants in the plastic surgeon's office with a snug top and a bra that is one cup size higher than your baseline, to get a sense of how you might look in clothes, and that can be a ballpark for you and your surgeon to select optimum sizes. The size decision is usually a joint one between the surgeon and patient, and requires solid communication prior to surgery.
Have you tried this approach? What did you think with a 325cc implant?
