Fuller = bigger

Based on your preop photo, you will never accomplish your goal without augmentation and a significant added volume. Breasts do not naturally sit up high and round in the upper pole without a bra. If there is less volume, or a tight skin envelope over modest volume, you will not accomplish the cleavage nor the projection you show in the other picture of your ideal result. I think, based on your photos alone, you would require a substantial implant to achieve your "at-attention"... more

"I want to be fuller but not bigger" is not possible

I will occasionally hear a patient asking for something like you are.  Often they will have had implants placed elsewhere and they want to exchange them for ones that are fuller but not bigger, sometimes even asking for smaller.  This is NOT POSSIBLE.  Fuller is bigger.  The fuller, the bigger.

I do not want to add much size

I think your desciption of what you desire conflicts with the picture you show. generally a fairly large implant is needed to change the shape of the breast that you start with. there is a difference between pretty and natural.  it is possible to have pretty breasts that are not natural.

How to pick breast implants.

How to pick breast implant sizes. 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 you if your chosen look is realistic for your... more

Explaining your goal for breast augmentation

Correct communication is very important in breast augmentation in order to get the size and the look that you want. Your photo is a perfect way to start. What we can see is that you like the look of very full upper fill and cleavage, and the size may be fuller than the C-cup. The round upper breast  also suggests that a subglandular silicone gel implant may be a good approach to give you the result. More information for your surgeon, the closer to the real 'you'. Best of... more

High riding perky fake looking breast are what a lot of patients are looking for these days

It has been interesting to talk with my patients about their goals for breast augmentation. While most patients have expressed a desire for larger natural looking breasts some patients express the desire to have high ridding perky fake looking breast. I have found that I have to listen carefully to my patients because what they want is a very personal and individual choice. Most patients still want soft natural looking fuller breast which I feel are best achieved with textured silicone... more

Size after augmentation

Bring that photo to your consultation. You state you want to not be bigger than a C cup.  However, be advised that the model on the right; 1. is not a C cup- she is larger 2. she is probably pushed up and taped into that bra, so she does not look like that at all without clothes.   Look at many before and afters during your consultation and ask many questions.  That is the best way to have a good discussion on expectations.
