Why not find out by scheduling a consultation?

Proper implants to achieve D-cup?
Since you are tall and "hippy," I would have you try on implants in a sports bra and stretchy top and see what size you like. I would anticipate you will like implants of 400-500cc, but that is why you try them on--you get to see what a certain size looks like!
In your body, under the muscle, your surgeon should add 50-100cc to your chosen implant size to achieve the same "look" as when you sized in a bra. If I am right in my starting point, you will likely require...

Augmentation mammoplasty
For a person with average frame, each 200 ml (C.C.) equals to a cup. Therefore a 400 ml implant semms to be a good size for you . To be certain, when you visit your plastic surgen , you could ask him/her to put a " sizer" into your bra to see if it fits you properly. This would be the closest you can come with....

The usual inplant for that amount of increase would be 420 cc. It does depend on the size and shape of the a breast as well as the current weight of the patient,
