How Many CCs Will Give me a Natural and Proportionate Look?

Im 5'7", 200lbs with large body frame, wide shoulders/chest, small 40B-cup; I look manly. I am scheduled for a BA w/silicon in two weeks, but Im still stuck as to which CC size/profile shape will look best on me:

500cc or 550cc, moderate or moderate plus. I want to look natural/proportionate and dont want to regret 'not going bigger' later, but neither do I want to look like an 'overdone' porn star; I told the dr he can choose the final size/profile for me, but I'm still confused. Please help!

This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling of the... more

Appropriate volume for breast augmentation

You are a little larger than the typical patient getting breast augmentation so you can tolerate a larger sized implant without appearing too "fake". Ideally the diameter of the implant should match the diameter of you breast and chest wall. You should ask your surgeon how he will perform the procedure. The best method in your case would be to place temporary sizers during the operation, sit you up, and evaluate how you look. Based on the sizers then your surgeon can choose the... more

Use implant dimensions to guide you for the desired look.

Your final look will be determined by how the implant projects from your chest base and the tissue envelope that it sits under. cc volume is not the ideal means by which to judge the fit of the implant. Most mass manufactures of implants have modelled their styles of implants offerred to match the base width of your native breast/chest. As general rule, the measured base diameter of your chest/breast will yield the size of the implant footprint. The projection is... more

Cup size

Your pocket size will pretty much determine the cc range of your implants. Your PS has to make sure that your expectations via a photo maybe and your body;s proportion, breast pocket size all come together to create a natural look for you in the long run-

Breast augmentation

The cc amount will depend on what cup size you want to end up being. You are a little taller and wider than most patients so you will need more cc's than a smaller person. You should show a photo to your surgeon of what you would like to look like so there is no confusion.
