Silicone implant size

Without photos or knowing what size you want to be, I can only give you limited advice. Both implants are very conservative sizes so I don't think you need to worry that you will be made too large. Although this may not apply to your case, when a patient of mine is undecided between 2 sizes, I usually recommend the larger size. This is just based on my own experience. More patients tell me if they had it to do over again they would opt for the larger size. I hope... more

How to pick breast implants.

Hi. I hope you find the following article useful. Anyway a 35 cc difference between implants is pretty small. Good luck! 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... more

Implants and cup size

First, it is difficult to say what cup size you would be with implants given that all bra manufacturers size their cups differently, As to what volume would be best for you, an exam is critical. In addition a "baggy test" could be helpful for you to figure out what you like.

Choosing Between Breast Implant Sizes

The debate between 304cc and 339cc in breast implant size ia an irrelevant one. That is a difference of only 35cc or 10% of the overall implant size...a size difference that can not be distinguished on the outward appearance of the breast. When in doubt go for the bigger size. The vast majority of breast implant size dissatisfaction is in not going big enough and rarely being too big. What cup size that would take you to from a 34B is a guess and not a scientific prediction. It would put you... more

Which size is right for me

The decision of breast implant size is best left to the surgeon who will be performing your surgery. Plastic surgeons are trained and have experience with the implants and with the operation and are best able to determine what will be appropriate for each patient based on the size and shape of the breast and the compliance or stretchiness of the skin and breast tissue. Breast implant volume does not correlate with bra size for a number of reasons. Surveys tell us that... more

Breast Implant Size

Hello Janelle42, As you have heard from the others, 'there is little difference in implant sizes of 35 cc', 'implant size and bra size have no direct correlation', and 'there is no standardized bra sizing'. Let me add that it's more important which size, if either, will be a best fit for your anatomy. Your doctor should be sizing you based on your anatomy to make sure that he has chosen the implant that will cause the... more

What size of implant...

Implant volume and cup size are not equal in women: meaning a 5'4" patient versus a 5'9" would have different cup sizes with the same implant. A surgeon usually asks, and tries to produce, a certain "look" irregardless of final cup size. Most bra manufactures do not standardize their cup sizes. The 35cc difference that you are concerned about is a little over 2 tablespoons; not really much volume difference. The implants differ in... more

Bra size to cup size is a guess for most

There is just no way to tell what size you will be with a 339cc breast implant. If it could only be that easy. Better to find a surgeon who will work with you to give you the look that you want. The number will soon be forgotten. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Implant Size

I recommend either posting pictures or provide more information regarding your measurements. Typically, in my practice patients tend to go slightly larger. Again, without knowing what you currently look like and measurements, it's difficult to say what the best size will be.

Implant size and cup

There just is not enough information on your case to determinewhat sort of change would be anticipated. Also there is no agreed standard on bra size.
