After consultation, my surgeon advised me that with 250cc hp implants filled to 325cc under the muscle would result in full b small c. I am currently a 32aa but ribcage measured was at 29''.I am 5'3" and weigh 95lbs with small frame. I did a bit of research online and am now worried because it seems that girls with similar measurements are getting large c or small d's. What is correct?
Answer: 32'AA' plus 225cc filled to 325cc equals 'B' or 'C' cup? Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: Implant size when downsizing
I would guess a total volume of 325 will make you a small to medium C cup, depending on the width of your chest. Your height and weight suggests you are thin, which is a good thing, unless you are trying to hide breast implants.
You might get a nicer result with silicone gel, as you may get rippling with saline, even if placed under the muscle.

Answer: 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 cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is “I wish I was bigger”.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Determining the best implant size for breast augmentation or enlargement Bra Cup sizes ARE NOT accurate. Volume measurements ARE accurate. Surgeons are more comfortable dealing with concrete numbers such as volume (measured in CC) as opposed to to the somewhat arbitrary and variable cup sizes assigned by Calvin Klein or Victoria's Secrets. Your best solution is to try the implant sizers available at your surgeon's office and determine if you like the size rather than shooting for a specific cup.
