400 cc implants and a small upper body frame
The way to think about this is whether wearing a 36 or 38 bra or a shirt size that's too big for your upper body will "balance out" or "overwhelm" your upper body. Currently you look like a full A cup size (in a 32 inch chest). If you get an implant whose width matches the width of your breast and it's a high profile gel in Mentor or Allergan (or a high profile saline-filled in Allergan), then you will look like a 32 full C and still look natural in the sense...

Implant choices
To size you up for implants takes a physcial exam and discussion of your goals. Everyone carries the volume a bit differently and the bras do not always correlate to the volume. You look like you may be a good candidate for moderate plus or moderate based upon your frame to complement you rlower body.

Sizing breast implants
It all depends on the width behind your breasts. As long as the implant has a width that matches your own it can look reasonable. For you, it would take a mod plus or HP implant to get up to 400 cc so be sure the look these make is one you like.
