275cc Vs 350cc Breast Implants for a Definite C Cup?

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.

Breast implant sizing

It 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

Implant choices

Do a baggy test to get a sense of the volume that will fit your desired bra accordingly. Then match the implant to your dimensions.

Breast implant sizes.

Hi! This is the most common type of question we answer. 1) Show your surgeon a picture of what you want to look like. 2) During surgery, your surgeon should put breast implant SIZERS into your breasts to see what size will give you a full C cup. Picking implant size in advance is just an educated guess.

What's a "real" C cup?

You asked a great question that a lot of breast implant patients are asking. First, the C cup needs to be better defined. The cup volume of a 32-C vs. 38-C are quite different. In fact, it's not always easy to find 32-C or 32-D cup bra. Based on your brief physical description, it appears that you want more volume and projection by considering 350cc high profile implant. With this choice, you are more likely to achieve a "augmented" look compared with 275cc moderate plus implant... more

I'd guess at 275 cc you'll be a B cup.

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 'implants'.

Hard to tell breast implant size without seeing you

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 enough, so discuss this with your surgeon at pre-op.
