Are C Cup Breasts Too Big for an Asian Frame?

Hi. I am Asian, 5'7" and 130lbs. My boyfriend wants me to have "C" Cup Breasts implants. At the moment I am flat chested, (ie AA cup).

Is C cup too big for my body frame, especially for an Asian? Also what would be the volume of the implant? I know doctor measure by cc's. Any suggestion is welcome.

Breast Implant Size?

Thank you for the question. It will be extremely important that you communicate your size goals with your plastic surgeon. Your definition of “C cup breasts” may differ from that of other people.

The choice of which implant you choose is ultimately up to you. You are the patient after all. My advice to you is to not fixate on a number or cup size. Your goal should be to find an implant that will give you a shape and size that will work for you. It is nice that your boyfriend is involved in this process but you... more

C cup is possible for Asian frame

Based upon your height and weight, you seem to have an medium body frame. Several factors go into choosing the best implant size for an individual woman. These include the height and weight as well as the dimensions of the chest, and the quality of your chest wall tissues. Larger chest wall dimensions can accommodate larger implants. In general, as breast implant size increases so does the diameter of the implant. A breast implant that is too small or too large will not give a nice cosmetic... more
