What Will 200 CC's Do for Me?

I had my Pre-op yesterday...and we decided on 200 cc's, silicone, mid-profile under the muscle. I am about 5'6" and I weight 115lbs and currently wear but don't always fill a 34A. (I'm probably, according to all my recent measuring, a 32 A) I'm not really sure what cup size I want, but a full B small C sounds fine to me. Also, my sister who is very similar to me got 250 ccs and is now wearing a 32 D. I told my doctor what I thought I should get, between 175 and 250 and he kinda just agreed.

Breast Implant Size Selection

There is no exact science to selecting breast size but 200cc implants seems small. I would be very careful about comparing volume sizes to your sister and assuming that the results can look the same or that what happened on her chest translates to yours. While I do not have the benefit of seeing your pictures or measuring your breasts, I would think something closer to 250 to 275cc may be better given your height to achieve a small C cup result.

Implant size selection

Plastic surgeons have evolved how we select implants for patientsI help my patients select the correct size with two methods: 1. Dimensional planning and 2. A Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique... more

200 cc's

Getting 200 cc implants will not do much for you if you are currently an A cup and wish to be a full B or small C. You will need a larger implant to get your desired result.

Implant size

Good question. Generally, 200 cc implants are pretty small and will probably achieve a B cup. It may not be the best idea to compare yourself to your sister, especially if she started out with larger breasts than you to begin with. In a case like yours where you have a fair amount of uncertainty, I recommend the patient bring pictures from magazines like Playboy or a Victoria's Secret catalog. that way you can better communicate with the surgeon what size... more

200 CC's

Photographs would help and an in person exam would be most beneficial. Cup sizes are an inaccurate guage as cup sizes are dependent on the company's sizing which is very inexact. If you have not utilized sizers to determine the size then you should as it will provide you a better understanding. The greatest regret across the country with breast augmentation is going too small so ensure the surgeon understands your objectives and he is planning properly.

200cc will add just less than a cup size to whatever you presently have.

Photographs (of you, as well as goal examples) would aid in this discussion. Trying on implants in a bra and stretchy top helps both your surgeon in decision-making, and you in visualizing potential outcomes. You should not use implant volume numbers found on websites (they could be wrong) and you should not worry about the numbers on your implants, OR the letter on your bra label--rather, you should be trying for a certain "look." Your sister may have been "very similar" but 250cc adds... more

Size

Hello, normally 200 cc's is about 1 cup size. Sounds like your getting what you want. With out examing you it would be hard to really determine that.

Without an exam, it is impossible to tell you what would be best. A good test for you would be a "baggy test' to evaluate the volume that you would like.

200 cc implants

Dear Juju, It all comes down to the measurments. If indeed you are a 32A and you want to be a full 32B or small 32C, than 200cc will accomplish it most likely. If you are a runner, than you chose a comfortable size. However, the ideal , aesthetic size is a C cup. In that case a 250cc will more appropriate. One of the advantages of saline implants ( among many others ) is that saline can be added on the OR table if the breasts look too small. Give it some thought... more

Implant size ?

The diameter of your chest and breast diameter are part of what most doctors look at when selecting an implant size. While we do not have pictures or measurements I think you may need more in the 250cc moderate profile size range if you are 5'6" to fit your frame. Your doctor can explain this and help guide you. Good Luck!
