I am 32 years old, 5'4", and about 125 lbs. I used to be a full C until I lost weight. Now I am probably a B cup. I am considering the memory gel moderate profile breast implants. I have had consults from a few doctors and the general size to go was from 350-375cc's. I want to be a full C. Is that size about right for what I am looking for? I don't want to be to big. Thank you.

Choosing your breast implant size

Communication with your surgeon is critical in achieving the results you wish. I find that this is best done with the use of pictures as opposed to trying to predetermine specific implant size or profile. The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the... more

Implant choice

If you have a general idea of the size that you want and that was recommended, do a baggy test to check it out for approximate volume.

Choosing implant size should be done in person.

Size is a complex decision that is not only based upon your height, weight and current cup/bra size but ALSO on also on your breast diameter, waist, shoulder, and skin envelope measurements. These can only be assessed in person during a consultation. Bring in your desired bra size and have your surgeon help you figure out how many CCs it will take to fill the bra. see video

Try sizes on in the bra you want to fill

The final bra size depends on what you are now. Also a C cup from one company is not a C cup from another. Get a bra of the size you want to be and try different implants to see what is necessary to fill it. I would guess, though, that the sizes you are considering will end up doing a very good job.

Cup Size Depends on Amount of Your Own Tissue plus Implant Size

So it's hard to tell without seeing you. But in general, a 350 - 400cc implant will fill most C-cup bras. Bras vary too, and I don't like going just by cup size when selecting implants for my patients. Go buy a bra you like, and try it on along with a breast implant sizer (or you can do a "rice test" and weigh a baggie of rice). Put on a fitted T-shirt and you'll get a good idea of what that size implant will do for you. We do this in my office and have good success at... more

Breast implant sizes depends upon your dimensions

Hello, Choosing the right breast implant takes experience, a physical exam and a discussion with the potential patient. 350-375 cc is a moderate implant size range that will probably enlarge about a cup to a cup and a half. Discuss this with your surgeon at pre-op.
