What CC Size Should I Choose for my Breast Augmentation Surgery?

I am needing help on deciding what CC size to get for my surgery. Well first off I am 5'7' and I weigh about 104lbs. My surgeon measured me and told me I was a B cup with a 28 inch waist. He also said I have tubular breasts if that helps. I am looking to go towards having a Full C cup after my surgery. Since of my age i will be having saline implants that will be tucked under my muscle. Thankyou for your time and help!

How many cc's?

This is always a tough question.The fact that you have tubular breasts comes into the equation.I usually will have several different size implants available when I do my augmentations and once the pockets are made,I will put in a 250,275 or 3300 and try to make them as full as I can without being too obvious.

Sizing of breast implants

It is difficult to give you an answer without photos and breast base measurements. You are tall, thin and have tubular breasts. If you are under 22 years of age, you cannot have silicone gel implants. Your plastic surgeon sholud've mentioned to you that you do have abnormal breasts, i.e. tubular breasts. This condition will allow you to have silicone gel implants, which I would recommend for you. Saline implants will give you a lot of rippling in spite of submuscular placement.... more

I hear this question often here on RealSelf....I think it is important to have your sizing performed in the office at the time of your consultation. Silicone "sizers" can be used by experienced nursing staff or a physician themselves, underneath a sports or sizing bra, to help you familiarize yourself with the volumes it will take to increase your cup size. Cup sizes are different amongst all manufacturers and can a difficult indicator...glad to hear that your MD "sized" y more

Breast Implant Size

Dear A. Lynn: Choosing the correct size for your breast augmentation is perhaps the most difficult part about the procedure. The answer depends on many variables: Your body type, your breast shape, your current breast volume, the elasticity of your skin, position of the implant and last, but not least, your desired goal range.

CC Size for my Breast Augmentation

Love you Dr P! LOL I just invented that exact calculator but I ran out of batteries! But really the choice of CC's is a personal decision between you and your surgeon that you have chosen and may take a few in person visits to determine that exact size. You did not post photos so we can not see the ? tuberous deformity. My guess is a 400 cc HP saline. But that is a guess. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091

Breast size vs. breast implant size

Breast implant surgery is not like buying clothing. You can't order a specific size. Although the surgeon can make some estimates as to final breast size he/she will always be off. This is due to the fact that breasts are made up of variable quantities of fat & breast gland.
