I am 5'4 132lb range athletic stature. I am going with saline round smooth mod plus, and doing the IMF procedure. I decided on 450 CC when trying on the sizes. Should this get me in the right range bra size im striving for? I have one kid so i have a slight deflation from when they were bigger but nothing extreme

That sounds about right, as long as it will fit. That's something that you, of course, have to discuss with your PS. In general, it's ABOUT 150-200 cc per bra cup size but more if you're relatively larger and going to larger sizes (ie, c to D), less if you're smaller and talking about smaller sizes (ie, AA to A). And are you a small, medium or large B now? If you have enough tissue to accommodate that implant then I think it gets you into the right... more

Choosing best implant size for breast augmentation

1. 32 a/b to a 32 c only requires about 275 to 300 cc of volume.. 2. 32 requires less volume than 34, 3. 34 needs less than 36 4. Moderate or standard implants are wider than Plus 5. Plus are wider than High profile 6. Saline implants can be adjusted somewhat so a 34 B to D would require about 375 to 425 . 450 may be a bit much It is important to consider what you consider is an attractive shape and size of a breast and to be less... more

How many cc's are required to go from 34B to a full 34D

Hi Brandi, It usually takes 200cc to increase size of breast by one cup. So, if you are a B and you desire a full D, then 400cc sounds about right. These are rough estimations, as everyone is different. So, please don't stick to a number as an implant sits and projects differently once it is in its pocket. Allow your surgeon to make the final decision on the table. It also sounds like you may need a lift. Good luck to you, Dr. H

Breast implant patients are actually seeking a LOOK, not a bra size. Bra sizes are notoriously variable. Did you know that the cup volumes of the following bras are all equal: 38B, 36C, 34D, etc. The best way to choose your size is to try on implant sizers in front of a mirror. Your plastic surgeon will help you with this. Your final LOOK will be approximately what you see in the mirror. Your final BRA SIZE will depend on who fits you and who makes the bra. Good luck! more

The implant size you selected will likely get you in the general cup size you dedire

Hello, Cup sizes, based on what is listed in a bra, is highly variable. A 450 cc implant is generally close to what you will need for a 2 cup size increase based on the measurements you provided. The most important thing is that you generally like the way things look when you tried on the sizers. All the best, Dr Repta

Breast implant sizes

When you "try on" an implant you get a very different look than when the implant is in your body and under your muscle and breast tissue. Becoming too focused on a specific cc of implant can lead to disappointment and frustration. I try to have a very clear discussion with my patients about the look they are hoping to achieve. I also encourage patients to bring in photos of women with the bra size and shape that they like. A Victoria's Secret catalog can go a long way in... more

Breast Implants - correlating CCs with Cup Size

Thank you for your question. Without a picture and without measurements of your breasts, this is extremely difficult to answer. I recommend you see your local plastic surgeon and get sized in his/her office. Your breast base diameter will determine whether you need moderate plus or high profile implants. If you are still unsure, return to his/her again for sizing prior to surgery just to make sure. Good Luck!

Breast Implant Sizing?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunate, it is not possible to get a precise advice without direct examination. There is also no direct correlation between volume of implant and resulting cup size. Communication with your plastic surgeon will be critical to help you achieve your goals with the breast augmentation procedure. In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C... more
