Currently a 32A and Want to Be a Full C. Is 475 to 500cc Silicone Too Big for Me? (photo)
5'4, 127lbs. Petite frame with curvy hips. I have breastfed 4 children. I am currently a 32A and would like a very full C Cup. I consulted with 2 PS and both siad I should go with 475 or 500cc, high profile silicone, under the muscle. I am worried it is to big. I am thinking closer go 450cc? Any suggestions.

Implant size
If you want to be a large C or small D, 450 cc's will definitely get you there. Be aware that implant size intervals depend on the manufacturer and style of the implant, such as moderate versus high profile. Generally, they go in 50 cc intervals once you go over 400 cc's. Either way the size difference is only slight and you would be fine either with 450 or 475.

Choosing your implant Size
Thank you for your question.
In regards to breast size, the more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant 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 manufacturer...

What size breast implants? (photo)
Difference between 450 and 500 just over 3 tablespoons, not much. Dimensions more important than volume (implant width and projection). Your starting size is small, but skin probably very compliant if you've breast fed four children. Try the different suggested implants on (non-padded bra and tight shirt), choose between mid-range and high profile among implants that match your breast base width.

Implant too big?
From your pictures, it looks like those implants will be much too big for your frame.
Your surgeon should take a number of factors into account when advising you on your implant choices - your desires, the loose-ness of your skin, how much breast tissue is already there, and how much tissue you have to cover the implant. A breast implant that is too large will mean more and earlier revisionary surgeries, and will be a dead giveaway to everyone you meet that you've had surgery...

Implants too big?
The size you chose is most likely too big for your frame and may lead to early problems including double bubbles, early descent to name a few.

Implants too big?
In a word, yes. These implants can certainly be placed in you, but you will appear over-blown and very full on top.

How big is too big?
From your photos - there is no way to tell you what cup size you will be after a breast augmentation. You shouldn't be terribly concerned with this either as cup size is NOT a scientific measurement. Every patient has different skin elasticity, skin laxity, muscle strength etc. You should do your best to communicate with photos as to what you might like in terms of the "look" of outcomes you prefer. Then trust your surgeon to choose the right implant to make that happen. The reason we use...

Breast implant question
In my opinion a 450cc high profile silicone will put you in the D cup range. A 400cc range moderate plus is more of a large C cup size for your frame. All of the sizes from 350 to 450cc in moderate plus or high profile will fit your frame fine. I like to share with my patients that better to be a little smaller then too big since too big harder to fix. Good luck!

Implant size
I recommend that a patient choose the smallest size that produces an acceptable result. Having said that, volume is only the by-product of an analysis of your dimensions and your projected goals. In general, I shy away from the higher profile implants unless you are sure you can tolerate the long term risks.

450 v 475
I also think you have enough skin to fill with this size implant. Most of my patients wish they went a little bigger rarely do we hear that the implants are too big. I think you will be happy with this size range
