Breast augmentation

For your frame, 380 cc implants may be too small. You may want 450cc or 500 cc to obtain a D cup size on your bra.

Right implant size for desired result

Short answer: that size and style implant should give you your desired result. Long answer: Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted. Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra. Outward projection is further determined by the "profile" of the implant... more

Proportion and Fit Are Important for Natural Appearance

It isn't possible to answer your very important question without examination and a discussion of your specific goals, aesthetic sense, and your idea of what looks "fake" or "natural." In general, if your concern with a "natural" appearance or undetectable augmentation when undressed, low profile implants will provide the most "stealth" augmentation. In clothing, the bra is providing shaping, so implant profile/shape may be less critical than... more

Fake looking breast implants

Without a physical exam, pictures and breast dimensions, it is hard to say if you will look "fake". However, 380cc is a reasonable size for many patients. If you really want a D cup, you may need a slightly bigger implant but in many cases, the bigger you go, the more fake it looks.

Fake looking implants

If you want a certain look and a certain size, then it is important to try on sizers before surgery so that you dont end up being disappointed with your results. In doing this, you will have a better idea of what volume you need to get the size you want so that you do not go too big or too small. The natural look is obtained easier in women who have some laxity to their own skin and who choose silicone gel impants. Without seeing your picture, it is hard to know what... more

Are 380 CC breast implants too big for frame?

380 CC is not too large for your height and weight. However a high profile implant would make you look more round. If you want to look natural this would give you the opposite result. However since your plastic surgeon has examined you, he may see things about your breast and chest that are not in your question. Go back and discuss this with him or get a second opinion with the board-certified plastic surgeon.

Implant choices

Without an exam to evaluate your breasts, it would be very difficult to tell you how they would look. The taller you are, the more you can probably handle in terms of volume. But the larger the volume the less natural they look.

How to achieve a more natural result

When done correctly, breast augmentation can give you a result that looks and feels very natural. But to achieve this natural result, your plastic surgeon must choose three things: The right procedure (do you need an augmentation or also a lift?) The right implant (saline vs. silicone / correct size) The right patient (do you have realistic expectations that can actually be achieved?) Once these three things have been addressed, chances are very good that... more

Fake looking Implants - 24yr Old Female, 5ft 7in and 150lbs

You needed to post photos! But my guess is the chosen size of 380 cc is TOO SMALL! Try for 450 cc. But in person evaluations are best! From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski

Spend the time to make sure your surgeon understands your expectations

Dear cherry123 I agree with many of the sentiments of my colleagues. Without measurements or even a photo, it is impossible to answer this question. That being said, 'fake' is a subjective term and being conservative will give the most natural results. Try to stay with an implant that does not exceed the natural dimensions of your breast. These days, a 380 cc implant is quite common in patients with your height and weight,... more

Implant volume is hard to correlate to bra cup size...

I try not to talk about cup size with patients except in a broad way. It sounds like you want a large increase in bra cup size. This does not exactly correspond to a specific volume because cup size is an inexact measurement, while implant volume is exact. You need to try on various sizers in a moderately loose sports bra t see how large you might really want to be in milliliters. I have patients either do the "Rice Test" at home or spend some time with them in the office with... more

Breast Implant Sizing

The most important factor, if you are concerned about avoiding the "fake look", is to select an implant which fits (that is smaller than) your breast diameter. Without additional info, I cannot state with certainty if the implant chosen fits your anatomy.

Breast implant sizing is important

Without a photos and some dimensional data from your chest- this is a tough question to answer. In general terms, if your breast width and fold-nipple distance can accommodate the width and projection of the implant selected for you without a great deal of tissue stretching, your result will be natural and attractive.

Breast implant requires analysis of height, weight, build, existing breast tissue, etc., etc., etc.

Without more information, this estimation is impossible to discuss. IF you are 4'11", a 380cc implant will look very different if you were 5'11'. By all accounts this is an average sized implant. IF you are average sized, this is a reasonable implant for you.
