Breast Implants: Q&A
Ask a Question32AA Plus 250cc Filled to 325cc Equals B or C Cup?
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?

Choosing the right breast implant
For your thin frame, gel will be better than saline in terms of feel and wrinkling, so you can eliminate the issue of overfilling from 250 to 325 because that's only with saline. Also, the final "look" is far more important than the "cup size."

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.

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...

What is correct for you?
The question is not what is correct but what do you want and how do you feel about size.Without an exam no surgeon can give you a good estimate of the size of implant to use to meet your goal. I do think going under the muscle is the correct approach for you. I personally do not overfill implants to this degree as they tend to harder and rounder. I would select a slightly larger implant and overfill less or use a higher projecting implant depending upon the patient.

Implant choices
It is hard to say whether or not the volume you selected would be best to reach the desired size. You can do a baggy test or try sizers on to see how the volume fits in a bra for you.

How to select a breast implant
It is almost impossible to predict the cup size after surgery. When buying a bra, you probably noticed that it will change depending on the manufacturer. Sometimes you may fit in a "C" or a "B". Now the number on a bra is the circumference around your chest, that should not change with a breast augmentation surgery.
Some surgeons will measure you and tell you what size will be better for you, at the end you need to decide on the size depending on the look you want....

Implant size and breast size varies depending on several factors
This is a very hard question to answer, and that is the reason that we have personal consultation before surgery. Implant size and breast size varies based on your chest width, tissue elasticity, and your desires. If you are not comfortable with the size that your surgeon is offering you, discuss this with him and also get a second consultation.

Implant volume and breast cup size
I don't want to directly answer that question, rather I want to make a comment.
High profile implants do not have a large overfill capacity. It seems to me that filling 250cc's to 325cc is out of range and will lead to rippling and perhaps early implant failure.

How plastic surgeons select the correct breast implant size
During consultation for breast augmentation I rarely ask, or tell for that matter what size breast implant I am considering for surgery. If the implant is 250cc or 325cc it will make little difference to you if the look and volume is what you have expected from the procedure. The most important part of the consultation process is understanding what result an individual hopes for in terms of cup size, upper fill, cleavage, projection. Pictures work well. Trial bras are helpful as is...

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.
