Choosing the Right Breast Implant Size (Breast Augmentation)
Selecting the right breast implant size is always a critical portion of breast augmentation. Your plastic surgeon will make measurements to tell if the breast implants will fit your frame. At El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, we offer 3D imaging with the Vectra 3D system, so that you can visualize your results in your own body before undergoing a breast augmentation. 425 cc implants would increase your breast size by 2-2.5 cup sizes.

Large Breasts
A 425cc implant alone in a 150 pound person is a large implant. Adding a pre-existing C cup size - no matter what type of bra is used - is too much volume in my opinion.

Breast implant size
The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree...

Choosing the right implant size for you
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...

Is 425cc Too Much if I Already Have 36C Breasts?
You ask a very personal question without a posted photo. My guess is the size would be OK. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski

Implant size is between you and your doctor
The proper choice of an implant cannot be made by the patient alone. It required the experienced eye of an excellent real plastic surgeon who does a substantial amount of augmentation and whose results you like.

Without examination or pictures hard to give advise
Please provide more information and pictures. You have large breast and most patients that request augmentation are ize B or smaller.

Which Implant is best for me?
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.
Outward projection is further determined by the "profile" of the implant. High school geometry: Height (projection) times Width (base width). A Higher Profile implant will give you a...

What size is too much for augmentation?
You are considering breast augmentation with 425cc implants to enhance your 36C cup breast volume. A cup size roughly can be 150-200cc. What is more important is to have your plastic surgeon examine you, measure your chest wall diameter, breast base width, assess your skin elasticity and volume of breast tissue you have, degree of sagginess and chest wall deformities or asymmetries. An implant can be chosen based on the above and you should try on sizers to see how this fits you. I do...

Review your decision of implant sizes with your Plastic Surgeon.
This would likely take your breast size up by two cups but you should review your decision with your plastic surgeon and be comfortable before you proceed. Breast sizers are an excellent method of assessing an implant volume.
