Breast Augmentation Sizing

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: How many cc's of Breast Implants to get D cups?

I'm a 36A cup, 5'6" and want to be a large D or small DD. What cc's should I get? I weigh 145 pounds with a large frame?

This is a very difficult question to answer without any photos and measurements. Everyone is different and you just cant say that a 475 cc implant will be a DD or a D cup in you or anyone else.

You need to go for the look you are going for rather a particular cup size. Besides you will go to one store and they will size you one way and go to another and they will size your differently. So trying to achieve a look is far more consistant that going after a cup size. Having said that you can play around with home made implants out of rice and stockings; I call it the Rice Test. You can learn how to do this on my website journal posts.

Good luck. Make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon.

A: Need to measure a few things for breast implants

John P. Di Saia, MD

Hello,

The diameter of your breasts/chest wall and a few other reference measurements are useful when trying to size you for breast implants. Implant shape is also important as you might want more profile to get your cup size increased. These are things to discuss with your surgeon when you go to consultation.
