Breast augmentation

Typically the degree of sagging dictates the options I offer to patients. If there is any question of whether I can meet your expectations I will discuss with you a breast lift or mastopexy. The goal is to have the breast tissue in the proper position on the implant so that the nipple complex is in a natural position relative to the enhancement given to your breast.

300 cc and a 2 cup size increase

The issue of "saggy" and measuring the width of the breast to properly size an implant cannot be done from photos alone and requires an exam but some averages might give you some help. I would disagree with the opinions that tell you that you can judge this by holding an implant in your hand or stuffing it in a bra. Proper sizing means that the width of an implant (diameter) must match the width of your breast at the base minus the skin/fat on either side. For a 2 cup size... more

A 300cc implant may fall short of your desired D cup size

There is no exact method for determining the implant size required to become a certain cup size. I have used a rule of thumb that for every 200cc added one can expect a cup size increase. Applying this formula to your present cup size indicates that more then 300 ccs may be necessary to reach the desired goal of a D cup. In other words, in order to augment you two cup sizes, from a B to D, something closer to a 400cc implant may be required.

How to pick shape and size of breast implants.

How to pick breast implant sizes Answer by George J. Beraka, MD Manhattan Plastic Surgeon 1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like. 4) Then your surgeon has to tell... more

Predicting bra cup size

I would try a 300 cc sizer on and then wear different bras to assess and predict the final cup size. There is no definitive method of predicting your final cup size but these methods do allow you to estimate.

Breast Augmentation Sizing

Really difficult to say as there are no pictures for us to look at. Also would need to see measurements as well. If you truly are a 36B then a 300 cc implant may not get you what you are looking for. I would not be fixated on size, I am not sure how you came up with the 300 cc size, but I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon that is knowledgable in the procedure. Good luck.

300 cc implants

It is difficult to pinpoint cup size to implant volumes in patients with varying heights and weights. I would have to say a 300 cc implant for someone of your height will probably not be enough to "bump" you up to a "D" cup.

300cc implants take a B to a D cup

Need a photo to give an accurate response. But my guess is no you need at least a 450 cc implant. Happy 4th from MIAMI Dr. B

Implant Sizing

It is always best not to think in terms of absolute cup sizes since they vary a good bit especially among different manufacturers. Having said that, with your height/weight, I would expect a 300cc implant to probably increase your present cup size to a C. You really should try on implants in a sizing visit to determine the size with which you are most comfortable.
