Are 360 Cc's Going to Be Big Enough?

I have my BA scheduled for Wed the 22nd. I am 5'2 120 lbs and currently a small 34b cup. I choose to go with 360cc's instead of 390cc's but am afraid of ending up too small. I want to be a full C. I am going with gels under the muscle and have read that you can loose a lot of valume by going under the muscle. Everyones results vary so much, I know 40cc's may not make a huge difference and it might be too late to change my mind as I already went to my pre op appt.

Changing sizes from a B to a C

If your chest is a 34 then each 200 cc is 1 bra size change. You said that you are happy with 360 cc and questioning whether you should use 390 cc. The difference of only 30 cc's is 1/7th of a bra size change and would not be noticeable. If you are a B cup then either implant size will make you at least a full C or probably a D. Best of Luck, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Choosing implant size for your augmentation

Having done a lot of breast augmentations, I would recommend going with the larger size. Most women are happy they chose the larger size after their augmentations.

IMPLANT SIZE

This is a common question on RealSelf. It is difficult for a surgeon to comment without photos and measurements. If you have uncertainty about the size you have selected, I would contact your surgeon and try on the different sizes you are considering.

There is not a lot of difference between a 390cc and 360cc implant. 7.7% difference to be precise.

It is difficult to say without knowing your base width diameter but judging only from your height and weight, 390cc is more likely to be a D than a full C. If by full C, you really mean a D, then go with the 390cc. Best wishes and good luck.

Should be fine.

Generally speaking, and certainly in someone of your build, about 200-250 ml will result in a one cup size increase. You are trying to go up about 1 1/2 cup sizes, which would take an implant about 300-375 ml in size. So, I think you are the right range. Under the muscle placement may result in a slightly smaller look in the short term, until the muscle accomodates to the implant; but long term implant location will have no significant effect. I think the... more

Choice of implant size

Given your frame and current bra size, I think you are safe. Without seeing you and doing a full exam, this is difficult for me to know. But, in general, a 360cc implant in someone as petite as you will definitely give you more than s standard cup size regardless of the implant pocket placement. Good luck with the surgery!

Breast Implant Sizing?

Thank you for the question. Every plastic surgeon has a different method of selecting breast implants; in my practice, you would not be responsible for making this decision. What you would be responsible for would be careful communication ( verbal and with the help of goal pictures) to show me what your specific goals are. I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to... more

360cc vs. 390cc ? That is the question.

30cc is 2 tablespoons. Do you really think you can see that tiny of a volume change (larger OR smaller) over the entire breast? I think the smallest visible volume that a skilled discerning eye can differentiate is 60cc, maybe 100cc for a casual observer (most non plastic surgeons). You will not be able to see the difference between these two sizes! If you are concerned about being "too small" then choose the 390cc. Realize that you do NOT "lose volume" by going under... more
