Confused About Implant Size?
I'd like to get some opinions on what implant size i should opt for. After having 2 children i am now a small B cup. Im booked in for augmentation & my surgeon has said i need high profile implants. Im small framed, 5'5 and 110 pounds. I really dont want to end up with large, fake looking breasts. i know its hard to 'guess' results, but if i had a 280cc round, silicone implant, do you have any idea what size i could expect to be? I'd like to achieve a D cup, thanks in advance.

High Profile in For D cup breast
Dear Biddy - unfortunately, if you want large breasts in a small frame, which is essentially what you are asking for, high profile implants are usually necessary to prevent the implants from being too wide. Putting them under the muscle will help them look natural.

Just an educated guess,but 300cc should get you to a full C. If you want to be a D cup I would guess 400cc+.
talk to your surgeon.
Good luck.

Cup and Implant Size
Unfortunately, you did not provide your bra size, only your cup size, B. If you wear a 32 or 34 then each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. If you wear a 36 or 38 then each 200 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. If you want to go from a B to a D then you can calculate the implant size required. The best implants are silicone gel placed retro-pectoral. They have the most natural feel and appearance. When placed in the...

Confused About Implant Size
Ok, here we go. I think this will help you. First, it is impossible for me to know what implant is right for you because there are so many variables to this procedure. Being that said here is how you should be sized. Every breast is different. Your breast has a defined width to it. You should only have an implant that fits your breast width. Think of this like buying shoes. Your foot has a specific size right? Lets say you are a size 6. So when you go to buy shoes you try on for the most...

Confused About Implant Size
Without the benefit of a photo or at least some measurements I wouldn't want to guess as to whether or not that size is appropriate. Trying the implant on at a pre-op visit is a good way to see what your size may be--note that the implants looks a bit (5-10%) larger sitting over the breast compared with the same size implant inserted surgically.
Although there are no uniformly accepted definitions of cup size, most surgeons feel that about 200 cc or so will give a one cup...

Implant confusion before augmentation
Without more information and an examination we cannot tell what implant will give a particular result, and most often we like to focus on the 'look' that is right for you, and choose the implant during the procedure that is the best. If you choose the 280cc and the surgeon just puts it in, will you accept responsibility for the result?

Confused About Implant Size?
The two most common concerns in women contemplating breast augmentation are going too large, and having others notice and comment on the new size.
After surgery most patients would happily have chosen larger implants if they could do things over. Furthermore they find that if others do notice the change, the comments are nearly always favorable.
If there were a perfect way to choose size we would all do it that way.
Every surgeon develops a routine to help patients...

Implant size selection
Your question is the most common question from women seeking breast augmentation. Iconsider 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...

Without seeing you and knowing where you start, it is not possible to answer this question online. You need to have these discussions with your PS anyway.
