Question ~

I’m very concerned about ending up larger than I want after my April BA. After taking numerous measurements, my surgeon recommended 370cc silicone unders. I told her I wanted closer to 300 and she poo-pooed that saying that I’ll regret not going larger.

I’m thin, fair and have little breast tissue (thus the BA!) I DO NOT want my breast augmentation to be obvious to anyone but me and my husband.

How big will I be with 300ccs? 330ccs? 350ccs? 370ccs? I’d like to be a full B/small C. (gosh…. I’d just like to fill a bra for once!!!)

Answer ~

Waving a measuring tape and caliper around the exam room does not mean anything unless the ps applies the measurements to a system – like the High Five System.  The only way to get, predictably, a pretty breast that looks like it belongs on you is not to ask the tissue to go where it has not been—-simply fill the empty space in the breast. The High Five System gives the ps the area of the empty space and when filled, the result is really pretty and natural and will cause you the least amount of trouble long term.

How did your ps determine the 370′s?
