Your surgeons plan should work well given you will be comfortable with a DD cup.

My rule of thumb is that for every 200ccs added to ones breast there will be an increase of one cup size. Applying this formula to a 355cc implant should increase your breast size by 1.5 to 2 cups making you about a DD cup. The choice of a subglandular implant in your case is acceptable since your existing breast tissue is adequate to camouflage your implant eliminating the need to position the implant under the muscle. In fact, it would be better not to place the implant under the... more

This is a DISASTER in the making.

I feel very strongly that decisions about surgery SHOULD NOT be made on the day of surgery. All of my patients are seen several times prior to surgery and ALL decisions are finalized before the day of surgery. Being uncertain about what you want or what is going to happen this close to surgery is a recipe for a DISASTER! I am very disappointed that you are uncertain about what your final size or appearance will be. All of my patients arrive on the day of surgery... more

Breast implant sizing

T is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

Breast Cup Size after Augmentation

First of all, there is no guarantee of cup size after augmentation, all sizes look different from person to person. I prefer submuscular placement, as it tends to hide and cover the implant better. You may or may not be a candidate for that procedure, if you have full or mildly low breasts, your contours will look better with an implant over the muscle. If you are a C and you add 350cc, be prepared for a D, especially over the muscle where you can see the most projection. Also rem more

Cup size and breast implants

I would schedule another consultation with the surgeon to help you with this decision prior to surgery. I can't predict or even begin to estimate your final size without knowing where you are starting. Are you an A cup or C cup. If you are presumably starting with an A. cup, 355cc should take you ON AVERAGE to a full C cup

What is truly disturbing is your confusion to size you are receiving. PLEASE discuss with the operating surgeon. In my opinion and without any photos I guess you will be a small D cup. Also I recommend BELOW the muscle placement.

Implant selection

The night before surgery is not a great time to be second guessing you choices that I assume you made in consultatiuon with your surgeon. It is hard to predict the final size you will end up. Starting with a full C will more than likely give you enough coverage for the implant. So going over the muscle may be ok for your.

Questions before breast augmentation

Please make sure that all of your questions are answered by your surgeon before you have surgery. In most cases, I suggest under the muscle (submuscular) placement of silicone implants. In most cases, I also use moderate profile implants since high profile may give you an implant looks. Above the muscle (subglandular) also has a higher chance of giving you a implant look. So, it all really depends on what you are trying to achieve. Good luck with your surgery.... more

Discuss the surgical plan with your doc prior to day of surgery

I'm sorry to hear that on the eve of your breast augmentation surgery- you still have lingering questions about your surgical plan. ideally, the time to discuss and decide about your surgical plan is at the pre-operative appointment. Issues like implant type, size, positioning and incision location should all be discussed, decided upon and documented for you. 'Fear' is a consequence of what we do not know and we have not planned for. Call up your surgeon and have your... more
