I am 5'8" 120 lbs. I have a 32A size chest and am stuck between the 275 and 300cc moderate plus implant. I'm very weight conscious, and am worried about the implant making me look heavier. I liked the way the 275cc sizers looked when I tried them on, but my doctor suggested that I get the 300cc, because I'll lose volume once the implant is behind the muscle, and he didn't believe that the 275 would fill the gap I have between my breasts right now. Is 300cc going to make me look too heavy?

Answer: How heavy you look after implants may depend on what you wear: Tight tank or Moo Moo dress?
I typically advise my patients to do what your doctor had recommended and so I feel confident that you will be happy with your decision of using a 10% increase over the sizer. As long as you maintain your current weight, you will not look heavy but that also depends what you wear. You will never look heavy in md riff bearing tight halter top but you will look heavy if you wear a bulky sweater or moo moo dress.

Answer: Breast implant sizing
Hello,
The difference between the implants is minor, however the larger implant may fit your chest width better as noted by your surgeon. This will likely afford you enhanced fullness medially and narrow a wide gap in a thin chest.The width of the implant is crucial to achieving an ideal result and is correlated to your chest dimensions.
As for sizing, please beware of judgements based on placing the implants over your breasts as this is pretty inaccurate. Once the implant is placed under the muscle and tissues it can look smaller and less projected. It seems your surgeon has noted these same issues and is speaking from experience. Trust is essential between patient and surgeon.
Good luck,
