Many Factors Dictate Implant Volume Size
Your breast size after surgery depends on several factors including current size and chest wall type, chest width, breast inframammary fold, second intercostal space, and the shape and volume of the implant being inserted.
If you are having breast augmentation, you should have the opportunity to select the breast implant that will give you the look you want. Although implant volume is important, the shape of the implant is just as important. In fact, there are several things you'll...

More information is needed to select a breast implant size that is good for you.
Thank you for your question and the photos.
Having your height, weight and breast base width diameter would be helpful. It appears that you have a good breast shape and tissue to begin with which is very helpful in getting a great result.
To know what size implant would be good for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope...

What size breast implants should I get? (photo)
Based on your breast (chest) base width, shape of your breasts, and starting breast volume shown in submitted photo, and your desired outcome, a range between 450 and 550 ml. Is my best guess for expected implant size.

Breast Implant Sizing?
Thank you for the question.
For patients planning on breast augmentation surgery it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies...

Choosing implant size
I am seeing this question more and more, it is our job as plastic surgeons to help guide you through the sizing process and it IS a process. Photos are a great help in communicating desired size or shape to your surgeon. Conveying the look you want (natural vs perky) is also very helpful. But the height and width of your chest is also important and these things just can't be guessed with a photo. Find a local board certified surgeon and let them assist and guide you in this process...

Choosing an implant.
I have to agree with the others who've answered your question. You really need to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, go over these pictures with him or her and look at implant sizers to help determine the ultimate volume.
Your final choice will be based not just on cup size, it will be based on your starting situation, your goals, your height, your hips and your shoulders.
Tall and broad people can take much larger implants and looked very proportionate...

How to pick breast implants.
1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is realistic for your anatomy. The most common...

Breast implant size selection
I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:
1. Dimensional planning
2. Gel Implant Sizing system
Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. Even your...
