Implant size
Without knowing your size, breast shape and dimensions, it would be impossible to know what a 350-400cc implant would do. Your best option would be to visit with a plastic surgeon experienced in augmentation and get their opinion. One implant size does not have the same result in every patient.
You might check out our blog on our website where we discuss in detail implant size and shape and how it affects the breast. I hope this is helpful.

Ask your Surgeon
This question is best answered by your Board certified Plastic Surgeon. Implant placement and your measurements will have a factor on the size of implants needed to achieve your ideal look. Best wishes!

Picking your Implant - Try Implant Sizers in the Office Before Surgery.
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. Even your...

400cc implant size- Full D
It is difficult to give an accurate assessment without viewing your photographs or measuring your breast and chest wall. I would estimate that 400 cc will give you a small to average D cup, but that you may require 450-500 cc for a full D look.
I wish you a safe and healthy recovery.

Breast implants and cup size
This may be sufficient to achieve your goal of a D cup. If your skin will expand to accommodate that volume and your surgeon feels it's appropriate, then 400cc may do it. You may need slightly more or less. There is no formula when it comes to choosing bra cup size.

Will 400cc Saline Implants Accomplish a D Cup?
Without a posted photo I can only guess but I feel at least a 450 to 500 cc HP is needed. From MIAMI Dr. darryl j. blinski

Try on different implants during your consultation.
There are factors that make it hard to advise you without a consultation such as implant placement and measurements. The best thing to do is to schedule a consultation and get sized. If there is a bra size you would like to end up in, bring it in and try on different implants.

400 cc implants
If you want to get to about a "D" cup you are probably in the ball park. It is hard to say without an exam and even then it could not be guaranteed. Do a baggy test with that amount and see if it fills the bra you want.

Breast implant size to achieve a D cup
It is difficult to exactly predict a cup size after placing breast implants. However, with a size 36 chest, you will need about 400to 500 cc to go to a D cup. So it sounds like you are close. Perhaps you could discuss with your surgeon and consider a 400cc implant filled to 450cc. Your surgeon can make the decision during surgery also.
