I Want Fuller Breasts, But Not Too Large. Will 250 Cc Do the Job?
Your question is VERY common but the answer is very frustrating to most women. What exactly is "Not Too Large"? is that like a "pinch" or a "smidge" in cooking? Clearly, your defined idea of "too large" may be another woman's "huge" and yet another woman" I don't see a difference". In addition, there is no predictable, reliable correlation between cup sizes and implant volume. Despite everything you are led to believe,...

Deciding on breast implant size for augmentation
Without photos and an examination, one can't say for certainty that the size that you have mentioned, the 250cc moderated profile, is the most appropriate one for you. However, you seem to have realistic expectations and goals and this implant may very well be in the range of possibilities. I would suggest that you leave the final size up to your surgeon at the time of surgery.
Good luck!

Breast Implant Size?
Given your description, you seem to have realistic expectations. As noted, too many women get hung up on implant size and final cup size. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for a full examination and specific recommendations.

Small implants under the muscle are more natural
Missruth;
Based on your height, weight, chest size and measurements, I like all of your decisions. 250 cc silicone implants under the muscle should give you a decent increase in size without being too big and should be very natural. Too many women getting breast implants get hung up on size and go too big resulting in an unnatural appearance. Good luck with your surgery.

Keep an Open Mind
Patients are at more risk of going too small than too large. A 250 cc implant will probably leave you in a full B or small C cup. Every plastic surgeon has a method to assist you with sizing. Let them help you determine what might look best. Do not go in with too many preconceived ideas.

Conservative breast size
Without seeing you and the shape and size of you breast it is hard t say, but I would venture to say that a 250cc implant below the muscle might take you to a large B, hard to say it will give you a C cup. Cup size is very difficult to predict though as all bras are made differently.

Breast implant size for thin patients
A petite woman who wears a size 32 bra should get a good improvement with a high profile or medium profile implant mid 200 range.. you should look at the width of the implant compared to your breast to determine the base diameter

Avoiding very big breast inplants is a very good idea.
How to pick breast implants:
1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is realistic for your anatomy...

Rice Test
The rice test is a great way to get an ideal of how a particular volume will fit your body. I have used this for many years and it is quite helpful. One cup of rice equals 250ccs of volume. First try this in a none padded bra and see how you like it, then try 1 1/4, 1 1/3 an see what volume that you like. Next. measure the width of your breast maybe 10-11cms. The implants come in 3 diameters. Pick the best diameter of the implant for the volume that...

Breast Implant Sizing?
Thank you for the question. I think you are on the right track based on the description of your body type and the implant type, position and size.
Some general advice regarding breast implant sizing may be helpful.
Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors:
1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative...
