How to Achieve Natural C Cup Look

I've Had Two Children and my Breast Size is a 32a. I'm 5'3" and 120 Lbs. While breastfeeding, I'm at a 32c (fully engorged). I'm planning to get breast augmentation once I ween my son and I'm having trouble seeing the difference between a full B and a small C. I want a natural looking augmentation for my body and am on the petite side. I don't want a noticeable 'fake boobs' look, but I don't want to be really small either. I'm planning on doing it under the muscle. Does anyone have any advice for me to achieve that look?

Breast implant sizing

T 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

Natural looking breast implants

I offer patient's a simple analogy to illustrate what we mean: Q: If you take a baseball and you cover it with a silksheet, what will it look like? A: Like a baseball, you will even see the stitching. Q: Now if you take that same baseball and cover it with a comforter what will you see? A: It depends on how thick the comforter is but generally you will see a softly shaped lump. So now the question is what do you have on your chest, silk sheets or comforters? The... more

Finding the right size for your breast implants

In order to determine the right size for your breast augmentation, find some pictures of breasts that you like and bring them to your plastic surgeon. Then, he or she can give you some sample implants based on the pictures that you bring for you to place in your bra. This will give you a rough estimate of the size of the implants you require to achieve your desired look. Good luck!

Natural implant look

The key is to have a consultation with a doctor and express your interests. I will say the larger the implant the more unnatural it will look.

Achieving desired results after breast augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery is designed to increase the size of your breasts, and achieving a "small C" cup from an "A" cup is most likely possible. There are a number of considerations you need to discuss with your surgeon in addition to bra size, including type of implant (saline or silicone), placement above or below the pectoralis muscle, and risks and complications from the procedure. Keep in mind that not all cup sizes are equal amongst bra manufacturers, and the... more

Breast size vs. breast implant size

Breast implant surgery is not like buying clothing. You can't order a specific size. Although the surgeon can make some estimates as to final breast size he/she will always be off. This is due to the fact that breasts are made up of variable quantities of fat & breast gland. Although in general younger women have a greater percentage gland & older women have a greater percentage fat it is not possible for even the educated eye to accurately estimate the percentage composition... more
