I am 24 years old. My measurments are about 5'5 145lbs curvy. I am currently a 36A/B. I am wanting to be a small D. During my consultation I tried them on and found that i kept wanting bigger. I decided on 420-425ccs. I am curious to know what size that will amount to. I don't want to look overly huge, but I want them BIG enough the first time. I want them full and porportionate to my body. I don't think C is big enough. My surgery is scheduled for 3/1/11. Any feedback would be appreciated. Are 425 Cc Silicone Implants Big Enough? What Cup Size Will It Amount To? I'm Looking to Be a Small D.

Breast implant size and Bra cup: big enough but not too big"

It is very easy to be confused by this measuring system. Cup sizes are only used as estimates for clothing. Although the measuring technique for determining cup size is precise, the results of these measurements are not. Let me give you an example; weight is a very accurate measurement. However two patients that weigh 120 lbs are not likely to look alike. The same is true with two patients that have C cup breasts. This is why physicians tend to use volume (cubic centimeters or cc) as a... more
