Is 425cc Too Big for B Cups with C Cup As Goal Size?

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I am 113lbs, 5'2" and a small 34B. My doctor recommends 425cc silicone high profile for me to be a full C. I am scared to death they may be too big for me, but he says once they come down they will be fine.

He is experienced for 20 years and I do trust him, but I can't help but think they will be too big for me. Any advise?

I've looked at dozens of pictures and some 350's look smaller than 300's. It is really confusing, and my doctor insists a year from when I do them they will look natural and beautiful and that if I went smaller I would regret it. Please help! My operation is soon! Thank you!

Breast augmentation

I believe that, taking into consideration your size/height/frame, 425cc is too large.  Though you may like them now, you may not in the future.  The overlying skin will become thin and you will feel the implants and may see rippling.

Breast enlargement

Breast enlargement has much to do with the size of the implants chosen for augmentation, but so does the shape of the patient's breasts and ribcage. It would seem that the best way to tell whether 425cc. implants would be proper for you would be to see a picture of you, as well as to examine your overall shape. I think these implants may be too big for you. My experience is that patients are never happy when their implants are bigger than they desire. more

Breast implant size?

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant 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 (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling of the... more

Breast Implant Sizing

For your body and frame that does sound a bit too big. But it is really hard to say just from a bunch of numbers. One would need to see you and do base diameter measurements to see how wide your chest is. Also what you can do is to perform the rice test to see what 425 cc looks like on you. Here is a journal entry on the rice test. http://www.feplasticsurgery.com/journal/orange-county-breast-augmentation-sizing/66/ Hope this helps you out.

Breast size after placement of 425 cc implants

Hi, With your height and weight, and if you are truly a B cup, 425 cc implants will almost certainly make you larger than a C cup. That being said, you will have a very full, round look - this may be the look you're going for. If it's not, and you truly only want to be a C cup, you may wish to seek the opinion of another board certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Breast Implants and size

I personally think the implants may be too big for you. You will definitely be larger than a "C" cup. I would have it re-evaluated and maybe go with a smaller implant.

This is hard to answer without a picture and examination

Based on your height and weight and bra size,425 c.c will be too big. I think that you have the same feeling and that why you questing the size. You have few options. Get a second opnion or third one and do not tell the surgeon about the size and let them make suggestions. The other option is to find a surgeon who offer 3D imaging (Axis 3 or Canfield). These 3D imaging can help you to visulize your body with different size implants. You can google the doctors in your area who offer 3D... more

The patient should be comfortable with choice of breast implant size

You and your surgeon should work together to decide on the implant size. It's your body and your decision. On the other hand, pictures aren't much help either. Our process is to have the patient try implants on in a bra of the size they want. It's not a perfect process but at least you have a good idea of what you are getting. When you say you are scared to death they are too big, then they are too big.

Breast implant sizing

Without examining you, I can't say for sure, but unless you use a shoe horn a 425 cc HP implant will put you into a bigger bra size than a C.  But the critical question is not the cup size you want but the "look."  So if you want a very full, maxed out look, the implant might be right for...

Hi. This is such a common issue that I wrote an article for RealSelf on how to pick breast implants. You can read it on my profile.
