275cc vs 350cc Breast Implants for a definite C cup?

Hi there,

I'm getting Breast Implants. I'm currently between a size 32A to B bra. 5'4", weigh 117 pounds, I want to be a decent C cup. Doctor has suggested 275cc moderate plus implants above muscle and said my base measurment should be approx 11.5 for each implant.

I am thinking perhaps I should go 350cc high profile to ensure I get to a C cup as I would be very dissapointed if I only ended up with a large B. Would this size sound the better choice over the 275cc? Thank you.

The final cup size depends on your current size, the implant size, and the bra that you are calling a C. Bra cup size varies among manufacturers. Try on implants in a bra of the size you want to be. I suspect you'll be up at 330- to 360 cc or more. Just remember the bigger you go, the more they look like... more

My advice would be to show your doctor a picture, such as from Playboy, of how you want your breasts to look and ask if he or she can do that for you. If not, consider another consultation.

A: Hard to tell breast implant size without seeing you

John P. Di Saia, MD

Hello, Choosing the right breast implant takes experience, a physical exam and a discussion with the potential patient. 275 cc is a small to moderate sized implant, but may work for you if you have a narrow chest diameter. A frequent complaint after breast augmentation is that the breasts were not made large... more
