Breast Implants to Get From B to DD on 5'8", 118LB Person? (photo)

Hello I am 5'8, 27 inch ribcage,118 lb, small 32 B. I have breastfed two children. When I breastfed, my breasts were measured at a 32 DD. I loved this size on my tall frame. Although I am slender, my height made this size look very lovely I thought. I have included a current picture of my breasts and a past picture of what I looked like when breastfeeding. Will 450ccs under muscle silicon moderate profile (this was recommended by surgeon, no bigger) give me the 32DD?

The correct sizing depends on your breast width, chest width and anatomy, height and weight. The photographs you have posted from when you were breast feeding look like the high profile implant look

Breast Implants to Get From B to DD on 5'8", 118LB Person?

Might consider in the 500 to 600 cc range of silicone implants in my opinion based only on the posted photos.

Breast augmentation

To go from B cup to DD and to achieve the breast size and look while you were breastfeeding, 450-500 ml. moderate profile implants placed under muscles seems quite reasonable.

450 cc implants DD?

A good way for you to figure out if this is the volume you want is to do a baggy test and put on a tight t-shirt over the water or rice in the bag.

Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Despite providing good pictures and precise body measurements, it is not possible to provide you with precise advice online. When it comes to selection of the “best” breast implant size/profile to meet patient's goals, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:  1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training,... more

B to DD Breasts - Is 450 cc Enough?

In general, women take 200 to 250 cc of volume for one cup. Some smaller women only take 150 cc to 175 cc. You may need 450 cc to 600 cc to get to your DD. I would just try the implants on in the bra and decide for yourself.

Sizing implants

Thank you for the question and photos. The most important measurement is the one you left out...your base width. I suggest you ignore the ccs in the implant and focus on the look you want. The photo on the right is the most important one and that result is totally attainable. In fact, you will have a much nicer result than your post-pregnancy breasts.

Getting to a DD

Probably. In general 150cc will give you a one cup increase. I would recommend that you try implants/sizers to get an idea if this is the correct size for you. Try both smaller and larger implants until you are satisfied. Do not get to worried about numbers and letters(cup size), pick what will make you the happiest..

Breast size

It is difficult to determine based on pictures. There are plastic surgeons who have 3D imaging software like Vectra where you can see on your own image with the implants. Certainly you should see a board certified plastic surgeon.

You look much like me and I also was big dd when feeding my kids. My first doc I have seen has suggested 500 cc sil under mod plus to get a full d or close to dd. I tried on the crop top with 400cc and it just looked flat and lost on my height. I have one boob slightly larger , so he suggested 475 and 500, or 500 and 525 mentor mod plus. I just don't want the super profile because I want my boobs close together and I'm trying to avoid the big gap. I'm 5'8 and my BW from first doc measured was 13.5. Hope this info helps. I'm seeing a second doc on wed, so keep in touch :)
