335 cc vs 295 cc implants?

Your plastic surgeon has had years of training in both surgical techniques and aesthetics to learn how to take your anatomy into account and make the best recommendation for your unique breast structure and chest. Your plastic surgeon should also have done many breast augmentations, which gives him or her even more experience in how to create beautiful results. If you have doubts, though, it may be worthwhile to schedule a consultation with a different board-certified plastic surgeon to see what he or she recommends.

I appreciate your question.





The best way to determine implant size is based on chest wall measurements that fit your body.  Once we determine that we can choose the profile based on what you want or need to achieve.  





Implants under the muscle, there is less risk of capsular contracture.  Anatomic implants tend to give a more natural shape with more nipple projection.





The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.





Best of luck!

Thank you for the question.Without photos it's very difficult to answer this question. It's important to remember that the 40cc difference between these two implants is relatively small. 15cc = one tablespoon. It sounds like the communication between you and your plastic surgeon could be improved. You should have a close enough relationship with your surgeon, so that these tough questions get answered by having a back-and-forth dialogue. I would consider additional consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons who can give an additional opinion how best to proceed.

I believe the low 300cc implant are reasonable and safe to be placed by a breast implant specialist in your area. Best of luck

Thanks for sharing your concerns. I think your doctor is trying to do the best for you based on your anatomy with construction of the lower pole. I would suggest you get a second opinion from one or two additional plastic surgeons before moving forward. There are other sizes between 295 and 335 that you should explore before committing to a size. Best, Dr. Aldo
