How Many CC's of Saline to Make Me a DD Cup? (photo)

I am 18 years old, 5'4, 114 pounds, 34 B and breastfed my child for 1 year. Due to breastfeeding I lost a lot of volume in my breasts, but they do not have a sagging appearance. With all the volume in my breasts gone, I am not confident with my body at all, especially in front of my husband. Before pregnancy I was a C/ small D. Now a B/ small C, but not full at all. Before I go into my consultation I want to know about how many CC's saline will get me to a DD, if even possible. Thanks!

Volume to Size Ratio

If you are a 34 B, then each 100 cc's will be 1 cup size change. To become a DD, you will need 300 cc's implants. However, this also assumes that this amount can be placed underneath the pectoralis major muscle. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Breast Implant Volume for DD Cup Result

There is no exact formula for ccs of implant for a certain cup size and one's current breast size certainly plays a role, but there are some general guidelines. For a small women, about 150ccs make a one cup size change. Using that approach, it appears that about 400cc to 450cc will get you to where you want to be.

300 to 400 should get you where you want to go

The DD might not be possible unless your chest is a 32, though the picture of your goal is something you should be able to get very close to with a 300 to 400cc submuscular saline breast imlplant. We have to have a range in mind as the goal is the 'look' and not the number which you will soon forget. The look you should see every day. The implant size can be sorted out by an experienced surgeon during the procedure.

Best Breast Implant Size?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon is able to accurately predict what cup size you will end up wearing after breast augmentation with a certain size implant. I would suggest that you not base your communication or your satisfaction with the results of surgery on achieving a specific cup size. I would also suggest that you communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon ( I prefer the use of goal pictures) and ask... more

Implant Size to Achieve your Goals

Your question is likely the most common question with respect to breast augmentation. 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... more

Breast Implant Volume to Achieve D Cup

Generally speaking women of your height and weight need approximately 200 ccs to increase 1 cup size. So I would suggest somewhere in the high 300s to low 400s to achieve your cup size goals. Keep in mind, cup size varies from the different manufacturers. There is no standardization. You have great anatomy and should have an excellent result - similar to the posted "wish pic."

How Many CC's of Saline to Make Me a DD Cup

Thanks for your question and for the photos. There are no fixed definitions of cup sizes, and that makes it all the more difficult to answer your question with a number. For example, from the photo on the left, I would call that an A cup. albeit without measurements and with just one view I would certainly not encourage you to buy a bra based on my opinion! The photo on the right, your goal photo, looks more like a C cup to me than a DD. What you should consider is a... more
