360cc Breast Implants to get C cups?

First, overinflating a 300 cc implant by 20% (to 360 cc) is fine.  I usually overinflate by 10-20%. Second, what is a C cup? I don't really know. Nobody does. Sears thinks it's smaller than Target, who thinks it's smaller than Victoria's Secret, who thinks it's smaller than Frederick's of Hollywood.... more

Hi: The question about overfilling implants is the easier question to answer. Saline implants can be overfilled to at least 10 - 20% over the labeled size. In fact it is advisable to overfill the implants somewhat to avoid rippling and folding of the implant. Obviously too much of an overfill might put too... more

Dear Robbie, the best way to determine implant size is with sizers and good guidance from your surgeon. The saline implants can be overfilled as per the guidlines by the manufacturer..the amount of overfill has a strict guideline. The larger the implant the more your breasts will look like implants and you may... more

There are two aspects to your question. The first one is easy: As Dr. Stratis suggested, try samples on and see what looks right. Forget about cup size because it is a very inconsistent measure of breast size and a C cup on one person may be a completely different look than on another. Fill volume is a little... more

The best way to determine the size that you want is to try on the implanst in a support bra with a somewhat clingy top. This will give you an idea of the look you want. Once you have the look you have a general idea of implant size. Your surgeon will give you an idea of the positives and negatives of that size... more

I never guarantee a cup or bra size to my patients because bra cup sizes vary between bra manufacturers. Further, the cup size is not important; what matters is that your new size actually fits your frame. Saline implants do have a fill range, as dictated by the implant companies, which is usually between 50... more
