255cc Implants Under from 32b to 32dd, Is This a Normal Size Jump?

Hi There, 9 months ago I got my breasts done, I was a 32b and wanted a natural look. After 2 different consultations I found a breat specialist who said he could achieve a natural look. I asked to go to a C. The surgeon suggested 265 high profile however I went with 255cc moderate after research online. 9 Months later I am surprised at my DD breasts. They are very natural however seem to be bigger at the base. As I dont know much I was hoping for advice as 3 sizes is a big difference.

Breast implant size versus bra size.

The 255 cc implants are a little over a cup size in volume (loose rule of thumb), but this does not equate with a cup size change in your bra size. It depends on which style and manufacturer's bra you wear. If you like the look you have don't worry about what the bra size is.

This size implant causes about 1 cup size enlargement; bra selection is up to the individual!

I'm glad to see you are happy with your natural look. Choosing moderate profile implants at this size (255cc) also seems to be the right choice, as 265cc high profile implants would have been too narrow for most breast base widths, and you would then be complaining about "too-wide" cleavage. This volume breast implant generally causes a one-cup size enlargement, so I don't really understand your pre-op and post-op bra discrepancy. The key to this conundrum, however, is... more
