One of the most important considerations in breast augmentation surgery, with or without a lift, is the selection of an appropriate sized implant. While I always ask my patients what cup size they would like to be, I only do this as a way to help me understand what she is thinking. In reality, the actual... more
400cc breast implants with lift to achieve full C-D range?
I am 34 years old, 5'5" tall at 128lbs, with 36B breast size. I would like a full C-D range post breast lift and breast augmentation. It is really hard for me to decide what implant size to pick. With a moderate plus profile silicone gel would a 350cc or 400cc bring me to the size I want without being too big? My plastic surgeon said that I will lose some skin due to the lift; and with the implants under the muscle, it will also apprear smaller. I like the look of the 350cc sizer, so would choosing a 400cc make up for the loss of skin and appearance of a smaller implant under the muscle?

When choosing size, it is not possible to tell you exactly what cup size you will be. This is particularly true since many bra manufacturers use different guidelines for their cup sizes. A D cup in one manufacturer could be a C cup in another. That said, a 400 cc implant is only 1.7 ounces... more
A: Implant size
Since you have already chosen a plastic surgeon, he is the one to help you determine what is appropriate for you. Make sure you discuss all your concerns with him. Get a second opinion if you feel uncomfortable. But in your situation, only a plastic surgeon who has examined you can give you better advice than... more
A: Implants and cup size
As we have said so often, you need to communicate the "look" you want to your surgeon and focus less on the cup size you want. Only the doctor who has examined you can answer the questions you have. Sounds like you need another preop appointement.
A: Breast augmentation and implant size
It is very difficult to suggest ther ight size to you without fully examining you, and reviewing the desired shape and size that you want. I usually discuss volume with patient and not so much cup size. Cup size is hard to pin down.
A: Breast implant size and cup size.
Hi! 1) 400 cc's sounds too big. Very large implants stretch your tissues and age badly. 2) It is not fair or reasonable for you to pick breast implant size. This is a technical decision that is your surgeon's job. All you need to do is make sure your surgeon... more
A: Breast sizer to implant conversion formula to predict final size of breast augmentation
Given the measurements you have provided this sounds relatively accurate. When an implant is placed under the muscle, you can assume that you will need to add 10-15% above the sizer to achieve a similar augmentation with an implant. If you like the appearance of the 350 sizer, then doing the math 10-15% would... more
