Trevor M. Born, MD answers: 360cc Breast Implants to get C cups?

I'm scheduled for Breast Augmentation surgery in a week. I'm 5'1" and 100 lbs, currently a large A cup / small B as my surgeon calls it, and I want to be a full C cup.

He's thinking about a size 300cc saline moderate profile implant filled to about 360cc. First off, is that too much of overfilling? And second, is that too big of an implant for me to achieve my desired results?

Dear Robbie, the best way to determine implant size is with sizers and good guidance from your surgeon. The saline implants can be overfilled as per the guidlines by the manufacturer..the amount of overfill has a strict guideline.

The larger the implant the more your breasts will look like implants and you may have more palpable or visible rippling.

With Warm Regards,

A: Implant volume

 It is difficult to nail down cup size using volume.  Each bra company makes a different cup.  Decide on the volume that you like by doing a simple test that will give you a rough idea.  It is the baggy test.  Fill water in a bag that equals the volume suggested by your surgeon and then place it in a loose fitting blouse to see if you like how it looks.
