Breast Implants: Q&A

I'm 5'4', 118 Lbs, 32/34A, 12.5 Diameter, is 339cc's Enough to be a Full C?

Based on the Inamed silicone size chart, 339cc's matches the closest the 12.5 diameter. I'd like to be a full C. The next size up, 371cc's has a 12.9 diameter so it seems like 339cc's is as big as I can go. Will 339cc's make me a full C? I worry that it may not be big enough since I hear from people that they wish they would have gone bigger. I'm looking at the mid-range profile. How do you think 339cc's would look on my frame?

Implant size

Breast size is often subjective. What you consider a full C cup, others may consider a mid or small C. Familiarize yourself with the implant sizes by looking at several websites as well as photos from your surgeon.

Best Breast Implant to Achieve C Cup?

Thank you for the question. Assuming you have chosen your plastic surgeon carefully, the next step would be to communicate your goals carefully with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.  In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of... more

339cc's Enough to be a Full C?

Your question is pretty common. Unfortunately it is not easily answered. The number of cc's in an implant does not correlate at all with cup size, but you are on the right track in looking at the breast's base diameter. If you look at a metric ruler you will see that the 4 millimeters difference between the two implants you mentioned is very tiny. It is about 15/100 of an inch! Get a consult with an experienced surgeon, show him photos of the LOOK you want and let him figure out what... more

Size

Hello From your description 5'4 and 118, 339 cc does sound good, but if you’re debating between 339cc and 371cc I would go with the bigger size. 225 cc usually does equal 1 cup size. So 339 or 371 will make you a nice C.
