How Many CCs to Get a Small/full D?

I have my surgery booked and my plastic surgeon says the max she would put in is 255cc's (shes bringing 215, 235 and 255). Im a 34B with an 88cm bust and would like to go up to a 100cm bust. I will be getting round,high profile (I have a very narrow thorax) textured silicone Silimed under muscle implants. Im 5'6" 125 lbs with an 58cm waist and 100cm hips. Im thinking 250cc's will barely make a difference. How many cc's should I look into to get a 100cm bust? 1st pic is me 2nd pic is what i want.

How many cc to go from a B to a "small/full D"? 255cc is not enough!

Jaycee, I respectfully disagree with almost everything your surgeon has planned for you! First, you want to increase cup size from a B to a small/full D. Forget your circumferential chest/breast diameter, pick implant size that will give you the breast volume you desire, and then choose the profile of the implant based on the best diameter for that volume to correspond to your breast base diameter. For a 1 1/2 to 2 cup size increase, I would anticipate in the 350-450cc range. I may even... more

Breast Implant Volume and Breast Cup Size: Not predictable

Breast cup size is a very personal and arbitrary measurement that roughly translates to about a 200 cc volume in a normal sized patient. This as well depends on whether the implants are placed under the muscle, implant shape, and your breast skin quality. It is very hard to discuss exact cup size after breast augmentation because it will depend on who fits you, what type of bra it is and what kind of fit feels comfortable. This being said, you may be exactly right that this volume and style... more

CC"s

Based on your height, weight and the photo's you have submitted, I do not believe a 255cc HP implant will create the look you indicate that you desire. A variety of factors come in to play in choosing the right implant size.

Breast implant sizing

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” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

Larger implant for a larger size.

Based on the photos you have provided, I do not believe that a 255cc implant is going give you the look you are going for. A proper breast exam is required to give you more accurate estimate on implant sizes that would fit your body and achieve your goals. I would suggest a second opinion prior to surgery.

What is the right size?

This is not an exact science but I think the best advice would be to have your plastic surgeon create the pocket and put in different size implants till they achieve a size you may want.It may not be possible because of how your skin will stretch but that is what I normally do.

Large breast implants

Just from looking at your photographs, I doubt whether you would be happy with a 225cc implant. That would only increase your cup size by about one and a half! I want my patients to be very much involved in determining what size implant for me to place rather than me just deciding. Also, I would think about placing the implant on top of the muscle. See my other response regarding this. We do have an unbeatable, all inclusive breast enlargement special at the moment. Watch my videos. more

How Many CCs to Get a Small/full D?

From your posted photo I would recommend at least a 400 to 500 cc HP implant to achieve the size you desire. Also I do not use the textured implant but I prefer the smooth, more wrinkling with the textured. As for HP vs MP, always go for "projection" not width. It is best to fully discuss your wants to = the possible results. From MIAMI

Breast Augmentation, Breast Enlargement, Breast Implants

The photos are helpful but it is still necessary to measure your chest wall and determine the laxity in your skin and muscle to determine the size of implant that would be ideal for you. Also the shape of your breasts before surgery will determine the shape after surgery. You may not get the look that you want exactly. I would use silicone gel implants smooth walled and high profile placed under the muscle or in the sub-facial location. Once again the size would be... more

You need more cc's.

I think that 250cc's will not get you where you want to be. I think the high profile is a great choice, but you need a larger implant to achieve the look you are dreaming of. Good luck!

A Small Size Breast Implant Will Not Give You D Cup Breasts

While it is always a challenge to predict the relationship between implant volume (ccs) and cup size, the one thing you know for sure is that your planned implant sizes (20o - 250cc range) will not get you from a B to a small D. There are numerous methods that plastic surgeons use and all can predict well in experienced hands and eyes. At the minimum, it appears you will be more likely to reach your goal with 350cc to 400cc or more. As you have booked, I would go back and revisit the size... more

How to Get D size Implants

I would recommend doing the rice test to see what looks best on you. This is also a pretty accurate way for your PS to determine CC's. I would also check with your surgeon to see if you could be a good candidate for this size. He can measure your chest wall and let you know if the implants will fit your body.

Implant choices

Without an exam, it is hard to say what would be best for you, but the girl in the right photo looks fairly large and I do not think your implant choices wil match that. For me to be more specific, I would have to perform an exam.

How to pick breast implants.

How to pick breast implant sizes 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... more

Full D-cup breast implants

There is no way to know without seeing you and using trial sizers to determine the right implant size to get you to a small D to full D-cup but I think you are right. Your pictures tell your expectation quite well. We do not like textured implants. We also do not think the high profile implant will give you the cleavage you are looking for, and would suggest a moderate profile, and would start our guess at 350cc. As you have 'booked' you better think it through. Best of luck... more
