Will 295cc under help me achieve a D cup? (Photo)

Choosing the number of cc of breast implant size is the most
common question about Breast Augmentation. Of course an in person consultation with a board
certified plastic surgeon is required. However there are several helpful
guidelines for patients considering Breast Augmentation.

The Rice
test may be done in the privacy of your own home.The Rice test involves placing plastic
sandwich bags filled with rice into a non-padded bra to evaluate how you will
look with various cc of breast implants.Once you achieve the look that you want you may convert the amount of
Rice to cc to give you an estimate of the volume that you will require.The table to convert ounces of Rice to cc is
as follows:a)1 cup = 236ccb)1/2 cup = 118ccc)3/4 cup = 177ccd)2/3 cup = 156cce)1/3 cup = 78ccf)1/4 cup = 59ccg)1/8 cup = 30cc CC per cup size-
It is very important to understand that bra cup size is a very inconsistent and
unreliable method to choose your breast implants. This is because different manufacturers and
different retailers label cup size differently.A C cup bra in one store can be labeled a D cup bra and a different
store.That said a very rough and
anecdotal rough estimate is that to increase your cup size based on the bra you
currently wear can take 150 cc to 200 cc to enlarge that cup by 1 cup
size.Thus to go from your current A cup
bra to a B cup bra should require a 200-250 cc implant but to go to a C cup
could require 350-400 cc.However this
is a very rough estimate.Breast and body measurements are very important and should be performed by your plastic
surgeon.One very important measurement
is the width of the base of your breast.The implant manufacturer’s provided charts showing the base width of the
breast implants and the measurements of your chest and breast are used by your
plastic surgeon to recommend a properly sized breast implants for your unique
body shape.The breast implant sizing system utilizes specially shaped breast
implants which can be placed into your non-padded bra to give you an idea of
how you will look with a particular sized breast implant.During this examination by your plastic
surgeon various sizes will be placed into your bra and you may then look in the
mirror to see how you will look with that size of implant.This can be a very helpful examination and
should be done during your plastic surgery consultation.Focus on the look
that you want and not cup size or breast implant cc.Visit breast implant manufacturer’s websites.The manufacturers of
breast implants provide before and after photographs of patients who have had
breast implants.You may search
according to your current size and the size you desire and attached to each
photograph will be the cc of breast implants that were used.This can be very helpful to give you a
general idea of how various size breast implants look on patients with a body
type similar to yours. Loveyourlook.com is an excellent site by Mentor.
Allergan and Sientra also have breast implant informational sites.Generalizations
are difficult but very generally speaking patients who simply want to improve
or fill breast volume after pregnancy but want to look natural and do not want
to have their enlarged breast look too obvious, implants in the 250 cc to 300
cc range are most often used in my practice.For patients who want fuller breasts usually in the full B small C range
325 cc to 350 cc breast implants are used.Patients who request a full C small D breast will usually require
400-475 cc breast implants.Be cautious
considering implants over 500 cc.Very large breast implants in the 500-600 cc
range are gaining in popularity today.However you need to be aware that implants in this size range are
associated with increased chances of complications including capsular
contraction or hardening of the implant.These are serious risks.In
addition, especially on small framed women breast implants 500 cc and over can
look unnatural and overly large.

Most important please find and
consult a Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
who is very experienced in cosmetic breast surgery and who has an excellent
reputation in your community. A plastic surgeon who is a member of the American
Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) has demonstrated experience in
cosmetic surgery. Find a surgeon listed in the Smart Beauty Guide published by
the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons for experienced surgeons.

It is very difficult to specifically have an implant alone correspond to a cup size.  Bras and implants are measured differently.  Your surgeon should guide you towards your desired shape.  You will not be able to know based on a specific volume of implant, in addition the surgeon would also know the differences above or below the muscle.  If you  try a sizer and a bra with a black cami (looks smaller) and white cami (looks larger), this can give you an idea of the shape and this is really what is important ultimately, not a specific number of cc's.

You might want to steer away from cup size as implants do not come in cup sizes plus as you know, bras all fit differently. I'd re visit your surgeon and re size to confirm your choice. High profile will give more fullness than moderate plus, that is their intent. I don't know that you will be any more full by placing the implant above the muscle. Not sure that is a true advantage of an above the muscle placement.
