Tags: 300-349cc, B to DD cup

I'm 5'25" (157cm) I'm 103lbs (46.6kg). Fairly slim and toned. My ribcage measurement is 28.5", and my measurement over my breasts 33", above my breasts just under my arms 30". If I have 300cc HP cohesive smooth round implants, under the muscle. (diameter 10.9, projection 4.5cm) what cup size am I looking at. I always wear 34B (no padding) or 34C with some padding to give killer cleavage. 32C with no padding. Oh my BWD is around 12cm

300cc HP implants

From your photo, I would guess that 300cc high profile gel implants will increase your bra size to a D or full D. I doubt that you will fill out a DD bra. If you are faced with choosing between two sizes, you should generally choose the larger size. I rarely have had a patient wish they were smaller. However, some patients wish that they could have been larger.

Would 300cc HP Implants Take Me from a Full B to a D Cup or DD Cup? (photo)

I would guess that the implants you are looking at will take you to a D or DD cup. Do keep in mind 2 things: 1. cup sizes are notoriously variable. Your final cup size will depend on the brand of bra you choose and the person fitting you. For example a woman can return from purchasing her own bra with a 38B garment. Send the same person to a professional bra fitter and she might just end up in a 32DD bra. Which is her actual cup size? 2. I always ask... more

300cc HP Implants

Thank you for the question and for the detailed information including a photo. From the information that you provided, the implants are more likely to make you a D that a DD. Obviously an exact prediction is going to vary according to wear you purchase your bras. Different companies run differently as far as the listed size goes. When you have completely recovered from surgery, do you want to err on the side of being a little bigger or on the side of being a little smaller?... more

What size after 300cc HP implants

From your description and photo I think that 300cc would get you into a 34D (not DD) or a full 32D (maybe DD). A good rule of thumb for your size is that it takes about 150-200 for every cup size.

Breast sizing with implants for augmentation

1. 32 a/b to a 32 c only requires about 275 to 300 cc of volume.. 2. 32 requires less volume than 34, 3. 34 needs less than 36 4. Moderate or standard implants are wider than Plus 5. Plus are wider than High profile 6. Saline implants can be adjusted somewhat It is important to consider what you consider is an attractive shape and size of a breast and to be less concerned about the numbers.

Breast cup size and implant volume

Hello, I do not think a 300 cc implant would give you a solid D cup breast size and it would definietly not achieve a DD cup size. I would try on a 300 cc implant under a sports bra or tight shirt in your plastic surgeons office and see if you like how it looks. If it does it will not matter what "cup" size you actually are. If you really want a DD cup size it will likely require more than 300 cc. All the best, Dr Repta

Breast Augmentation - Would 300cc HP Implants Take Me from a Full B to a D Cup or DD Cup?

It's very hard to determine preoperatively what exactly bra size will result from inserting specific breast implants. That's because there are so many factors: the patient's height, weight and currently bra size, the amount of breast tissue, the diameter of the bases of the implants, etc. There are some general rules but the best way is to try several sizes to get an idea of what you'll look like; the video I've referenced below addresses many of these... more

Cup size and implant volume

The final cup size is difficult to predict, and each patient looks differently with the same implant. I do not think a 300 cc implant will achieve that for you based solely on the photo. Do a baggy test with the volume and see how it fits in a tight t-shirt. That is a fair assessment.

IMPLANT SIZE

This is a common question on RealSelf. The general rule of thumb is 250-300 cc will increase you one cup size. This is a good question to discuss with your Plastic Surgeon during your consultation or preoperative visit. Trying on various size implants will help. Finding photos of patients with your height, weight, bra size and measurements will also help. Good Luck.

Implants and bra sizes

It is very difficult to predict what size bra you will wear without a true exam. Furthermore it depends on what bra store you are shopping at as many bra companies size their bras differently. It is best to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who can discuss your goals and expectations and make specific recommendations. Some surgeons like to try on "sizers" while others like computerized imaging. Other surgeons like to look at photos of other... more

Breast Implant Sizing?

Thank you for the question and picture. Unfortunately, there is no direct correlation between specific size of implant and resulting breast cup size. Communication with your plastic surgeon will be critical to help you achieve your goals with the breast augmentation procedure. In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" or... more
