Larger implants needed for larger patients

Thank you for your question and photographs. In general, the larger the patient, the larger the implant that is needed to increase the cup size for breast augmentation. As you have a large chest a large implant will be necessary to get you up to a full C cup. It will probably take around 500cc's to accomplish that but that is an educated guess made without an evaluation. Good luck.

Implant size selection

A physical exam would be needed to determine the dimension of your chest to make any formal recommendations. 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... more

Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought

Thank you for your question and the photos. Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought.

48"bust What Size Implant Should I Get to Have Full C Cup?

I would hesitate over the web to pick as size for you. Your best bet is to have an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon, and to try on implants for size. My experience with larger framed patients is that it is more likely than average that the size chosen when trying on implants may resulting in less enlargement than expected. With most patients I usually choose an implant 5-10 % larger that the trial implant, because the implant tends to look larger sitting on top of the... more

Hello

In our practice we like to tell our patients that 225 cc equal about a cup size. If your starting at A cup and want to go to a C cup recommended range would be between 425 -495 Cc. Without a physical exam is hard to be exact.

Thanks for photos but always better to obtain IN PERSON evaluations. I think a 450 cc would be my choice, but again I have never examined you. Best

Best Breast Implants For Me?

Thank you for the question. As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination and a full communication of your goals. Based on your body type, careful communication of your goals will be very important; I would suggest that you do not base this communication ( or your satisfaction with the results of surgery) on a specific cup size. Goal pictures and an emphasis on achieving a “proportionate” (given your height and weight) result... more
