Question

Soo I have tried the 300cc implant again and i have decided it's far too big for my frame. I have posted a few pictures of what I ideally would like them to look like and a picture of my actual breast please try to advice what the best option would be.

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with  breast augmentation surgery. I also think that your goal photographs are realistic. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:

1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.

2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, 
I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup” or "too big for my frame" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.

Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.

3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes.

Your #boardcertified plastic surgeon will work with you to choose the
best #implant #shape and #implantprofile based on your goals and measurements.  In my practice, about 15-20% of the patients
are good candidates for silicone #shapedimplants.  The profile is determined by the amount of
projection versus roundness that the patient desires, as well as the size of
the implant and size of her chest.

Hello,My patients find trying on the implant sizers in office most helpful. Your own, form-fitting t-shirt or tank top over them will give you a good idea of the results on your frame.All the best

Thank you for your question and photos.  The difference of 10 cc's is insignificant.  My opinion is that you choose the larger implant, though.  Your surgeon will be the best person to seek advice from regarding implant choice.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

It's hard to determine your best size without specific breast measurements and an in person exam. Remember to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who actually takes the time to measure you and examine your breast pocket. The goal of breast augmentation is to optimally fill your breast pocket, not to overstuff or understuff it. At my practice, we utilize a series of 5 breast measurements that help me determine the implant size, which in turn helps me deliver a 24 hour recovery. Do your research and choose a surgeon who takes the time to sit down with you and discuss your goals/expectations to determine the best size for you. Good luck!!

Choosing the right size implant depends on any number of factors all of which require an in person exam. So, my best advice would be for you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options. 
My best,
