Will a 380cc Implant Achieve my Goal of B-D/DD? (photo)
Hi, I have a BA booked for March 2013 and decided on 380cc sized implants (left breast 340cc as it's slightly bigger than the right side). I'm a small B (always padded, so doubt I'd fill a non-padded B cup!) After doing, probably too much research...I'm worried I might need to go bigger to achieve a full D cup? I'm 5'9 (172cm), 138lb - fairly slim (a UK size 10) so being tall and having hips, maybe I should go bigger? I'm having dual plane placement HP's. Any advice would be appreciated.

Implant size
I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:
1.Dimensional planning
2.Gel Implant Sizing system
Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there...

Will a 380cc Implant Achieve my Goal of B-D/DD
There are no fixed definitions of cup size, so your question is hard to answer in a useful way. I would suggest trying on implants at your surgeon's office, then reviewing whether your own anatomy will allow for a nice result with implants of that approximate size. Many surgeons who reply to posts on this site suggest fill volumes of 150-250 cc per cup size increase. If they are correct, you may find yourself a bit smaller than you seem to describe as your goal.
Thanks and best...

Breast implant size in cc's and outcomes
The appropriate way to approach this is not to start from the number of cc's and working backwards. That is like choosing a dress or shoe size first and then making it fit.
Round implants are properly sized by matching the width (diameter) of the implant with the interior width of your breast. Wider/bigger than that will not fit properly behind your breast and narrower/smaller than that will not fill it out properly. If you choose an implant that fits the width of the measured...

Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me?
Thank you for the question and picture.
Based on your picture (a starting point) I think you are a great candidate for breast augmentation surgery and should have a very nice outcome.
However, as you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic...

Sizing
The proper sizing is based on your breast diameter, height, weight, and chest width and anatomy. The higher the profile of the implant the less natural/soft the final look will be.

Will a 380cc implant acheive my goal of B-D/DD?
Cup size is very relative as there is no real standard that bra manufacturers go by. In addition women wear their bra differently from too tight to too loose so predicting a precise cup size is not realistic. Implants of a final volume of 390 ccs would give significant enhancement. You probably can go all the way to 500ccs on the larger side because of your height.

Most likely a 450 cc UHP would be the better option. But best to seek more in person opinions in UK.

Is the size the most factor to you?
The outcome of the breast augmentation depends on your breast tissue, implant size and your surgeon. You have perfect breast tissues for augmentation,but there is limited amount of breast tissue to cover the implant. If the D cup is the the most important to you then you need bigger implants,but you will have problem later. Your breast tissue, based on the limited evaluation from pictures, would have the best result with 300 cc impant. This will give you C cup.

Will 380 cc implant turn small B to full D?
Judging from the pictures and apparent chest wall width along with current volume and your own bra size estimate of a small B, I would say that you will be a large C or small D, but not a full D (however, this estimate could be more precisely estimated with a measurement of your chest wall width). Consider though that a larger implant may exceed you maximal chest wall width, and your plastic surgeon may not put in a larger implant.

Choosing the right implants
If you think 380 cc's is the correct implant a good estimate to see if this is correct is to perform a baggy test. Good luck.
