I'm 4'11", 90 Lbs, and Wear 32A Bra. Are 270 Cc's Enough to Give Me a Nice Full "C" Look?

Tags: asymmetry, A to C cup, implant size

I'm 4'11", 90 lbs, and wear 32A bra. Are 270 cc's enough to give me a nice full "C" look. I will be going under the muscle. I want my implants to look good on my frame, but I'm also worried about going to small and wishing I went bigger. I don't want to look too big for my frame, but for the money I'm spending I do want to notice a difference. I want to fill out my tops better and have something to show off in a bikini top. The idea is to look good and classy, not trashy. Any advice? Thanks.

Breast implant size

You are quite petite and thin and I would not go too big on you, but 270cc may not give you the full C look. Also silicone would be more appropriate and give you less chance of gaving wrinkling and rippling. Just make sure you and your surgeon are on the same page as far as what you are looking for and desire.

Breast implant sizing/type

It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

Implant vs breast size

The volume 270cc seems like an appropriate size for a woman of your size. However, the implants do come in various projections and diameters, which can change appearance. Also the amount of breast tissue you begin with will play a role in the final size and shape. Your surgeon may have sample sizes to try on and get an idea of projection. Good luck.

Try implants in a bra

I have found one of the best ways to get the right cup size is to try temporary sizer implants on in a bra. That will give you a very good idea of what the final cup size will be.

Implant choice

Am exam is worth a million words. Without the exam it is difficult to say what would be best for you. You also looke like you have a bit of a sag on the left side and may need a circumareola lift on that side. Choosing the right implants for you is a long discussion in the office.

Implant size to get a "Full C"

Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted. Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra. That being said, bra manufacturers are not held to any uniform standards when it comes to cup size and shape... that is why one brand of bra might fit you very well for a given size, but not... more

Your surgeon has picked the right size for you

You have very limited amount of breast tissue to cover the implant and give you good result. You concerns about the size should be balanced with the concerns about the long term result and beauty of the final result. 270 is a good balance

Treatment of asymmetric breasts

To get an optimal result there is more to it than just the implant size. The implant's dimensions are equally important. The implant base width needs to fit the torso and breast size. In your case there is significant right left asymmetry. The left breast hangs lower than the right and has a narrower base width. If you do a symmetric procedure such as just putting implants in on each side you will continue to have asymmetry and could magnify it. Before having the surgery you should... more

Breast implant size

A 270 breast implant is about right for your body frame. This will probably give you a C cup. I think the decision to go under the muscle is also good. Your left nipple looks lower than the right side so it will also be lower after surgery as well. thanks for the question, Leo Lapuerta MD

The 270 cc breast implant is a nice place to start

The 270 cc breast implant may be just the one for your chest and breast size to get you to a small C-cup, natural and tasteful. The real test of size usually come at the time of surgery. Let your surgeon know how you wish to look, use photos as examples, and let him choose the correct implant as his experience should far surpass yours. Unfortunately placing an implant into a bra can give you an idea of a fuller look, but you cannot 'read the number' and expect the implant to look the... more

4 feet 11 inches tall 90lbs 32A 270cc implant will likely go to a C

You likely will look lovely with a 270cc implant. More importantly it should be recommended based on the width of your breasts, the desired width of your breast, your goals and the volume you are starting with. Even though I have a Vectra 3D camera where I can insert an implant into your pre op photos and create a simulation, I still have my patients try on a few bras and a few implants. As you know there is no easy formula to obtain a desired cup and the bra manaufacturers... more

Breast Implant Sizing

Hello Lilcarm, Based on your height and weight, I would think a 270 cc implant is large enough to give you the look you want. My concern is not about how you will look. It's about whether this implant is too big for your anatomy. Because your body frame is small and you don't have much fat or breast tissue, I am concerned that you are too small for that implant. This question is easily answered by a physical examination that looks at a... more

What size breast implant to get a full C?

It is difficult to say what size implant you need to give you a full C cup, especially since there is no standardization among different bra manufacturers. I have my patients try sizers on in a stretch bra and decide what volume THEY want to add to their own breast tissue to obtain a breast mound of their desired size. If they are focused on cup size, they can bring in a C cup bra, for example, and see what volume implant may fill out that cup. Although not completely... more
