I am 5'5" and 145 lbs. I have one child. I would really like to be nice D Cup. I am curently a full B Cup. I am getting saline. But I'm just not really sure how many cc's I should go and how much to over fill them.

Also, would me wanting to loose 10lbs change the cc's any? Or should I lose the weight first then get the sugery? Below is a picture of them now. Hope it helps.

Breast implant size to go from a B to a D cup

Obviously, it is almost impossible to give you a definite answer without seeing you in person. The photo you provided is helpful, thans for including that. My suggestion would be to start out thinking about 450 cc. In my experience that is enough to give someone your size about a 2 cup increase. Although there is no perfect way to know exactly what you would look like with a particular sized implant I find it most helpful for women to try on different sized implants inside a bra in my... more

Breast implant size

Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal. 2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle... more

Implants for you

If you are going to lose 10 pounds, I would do that first. . You can do a baggy test of try sizers on to see how a specific volume fits in a bra for you.

Breast Implant size to go from B cup to D cup

First of all I would recommend getting down to your goal body weight prior to breast augmentation. Since you are planning on losing 10 pounds, you should lose that first as it may affect your breast size/volume. The number of cc's can vary from person to person based on skin elasticity and chest wall shape. I would use a temporary implant during the surgery (called a sizer) to help determine which size is best for you. The number of cc's may be in the range of 375 to 450, but this is... more

How many cc's should my implants be?

Hi there- One of the things I find most interesting is the amount of misinformation the average patient must sift through when researching breast augmentation surgery. In particular, I think that many patients become overwhelmed with implant choices and the abundance of information about these options available on the Web. This is complicated once they contact a surgeon or two for information about the implants, and which is most likely to give them the result they desire. Somewhere along... more

The right breast impant size

I would first recommend that you achieve a stable weight first. Ten pounds could result in a cup size difference and that would definitely effect the outcome of your surgery. Consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon and using sizers is an excellent method for helping determine the proper implant for you. see video

Appropriate cc for Breast Implants

I would recommend a high profile 450 to 500 cc's subpectoral implantation. Yes, lose the weight first if possible. You may need a donut lift. But go see boarded plastic surgeons in your area. Regards.

Implant size for breast augmentation is a personal decision

Dear Ms. Fox: When deciding what implant size will work best for my patients, I take several things into consideration: a patients breast diameter, the laxity of their skin, the cup size they desire and actual sizing (using breast implants) in my office. Using these modalities, I feel the patient and I can most accurately determine what size implant will work best for the look she is trying to achieve. In terms of the picture you provided, it appears you may be able to go to a D cup. ... more
