How Many CC's to Go From a B Cup to a Full C / Small D Cup Look? (Photos)

I am about 5'2'' 115-118 pounds I am about a B cup. I want a really a full C small D look. I am deciding between the 397 and the 421 smooth moderate silicone implant. The last photo is kind of the desired look. The first two are clearly my own. I just know that the implant under my sports bra look isnt really what they are gonna be like. Will they look bigger or smaller then that fake simulation?

UPDATE: while at my consultation i tried on two sizes of Natrelle Silicone Implants a 397 and a 421 how big are the differences and is even the 397 too large for my desired look for my size? -- Thank You!

Implant choice

Choosing the right implant for you requires an evlauation inperson and a discussion of yoru goals. It is very difficult to "size you up" in this type of forum. The difference in yoru choice is only 24 cc's and that is less than a shot glass of liquid.

Breast implant sizing

Thank you for the question and pictures. The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. 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 (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra... more

Thanks for posting your questions and photos. In my opinion I recommend always the larger of the 2 choices. Most patient's are unhappy if they chose the smaller. "I wish I would have gone bigger!" is what I hear. Best of luck

It is impossible to know for sure what Bra Size you will end up with, Although we normally have a good idea. Oprah has stated that 50% of women are wearing the wrong Bra. We strive for the right breast size instead. The implant size you mentioned will probably achieve your desired results, although you need to see what your surgeon thinks as he/she has hopefully sized 100's-1000's of women. Thx, MW see video

Breast augmentation, implant size

You really should not be the one deciding what size implant you will get, you aren't the one with the experience in doing this procedure. Your surgeon will take measurements of your chest to decide what range of implants will best go with your anatomy and then will probably use breast implant sizers in the operating room coupled with the knowledge from the photos you like to get the best possible fit for you. If your surgeon is leaving the choice up to you, it may be a good idea to get... more

Your final bra size will depend on who makes the bra and who fits you. As I always tell my patients, we really don't care what the label on your bra shows after your surgery. We DO care that you like what you see when you look in the mirror. Try on implants in a bra and select the size you prefer. I always suggest adding about 10% to that volume to obtain the desired look. I also suggest that if you are having difficulty deciding between two sizes, take the larger implant... more

What size implant

A more important question is what sized implant is best for your body. that measurement of base diameter of your breast as well as other measurements help guide a surgeon to the best size for you. go onlline and look at results you like on women who started wtih your volume and you should have an idea of size implant. for a woman of your height and weight, 350-375 cc range probably as long as the base width of your breast can take width implant.

Implant size

I try not to discuss breast size in terms of 'cup' There is no standard in the industry for bra sizing. I have never seen a bra labeled large C or small D. It is the visual result. I have my patients bring in representative pictures and combine that with breast measurements to help choose the implant size. Based on what you have uploaded high 300's to low 400's should work well for you.

What size implants?

That size will most certainly get you into a D. You look narrow and may do best with high profile implants. You will definitely grab some attention. 300-350 cc should get you into a nice C and be a bit more "natural" looking.
