Will This Get Me a Full D Cup? (photo)

I am getting 370ccs instead of going into the 400s. I am a 34B now with sorta "tubulor" shaped breasts. My doctor is going over the muscle. I am wondering if I should have gone into the 400s or not...Sorry for the horrible photos i have too many tatoos to hide.

Full D Cup?

Most surgeons are very reluctant to make cup size predictions, because, in part, there is no fixed standards by which the cup sizes are defined. If you have had a chance to try implants on and see what looks good on you, and if you can ignore the cup size issue you are more likely to have a satisfying outcome. That said, most surgeons feel that you get about 1 cup size increase for each 200 cc or so of implant size. SInce the cup sizes are smaller on a 34 than on a 36 band,... more

Lift and Small Implant to maximize projection

Your photographs show your breasts are too low and you have excess separation between them. Adding 300 cc implants, which weight approximately 1 lb, will add additional mechanical load resulting in lower and more lateral breasts, particularly when placed in front of the muscle. Doing that would be a big mistake. You are focused on size but should consider a lift and small implant to increase projection. At 34 B, a 200 cc implant will take you up to a D. I do not... more

Breast size

Thanks for your question. It's really difficult to say with certainty based on the photos. However, as a general rule if you are in the B-range at this point I think an implant in the mid 300's will be in the C to full C range. As you begin to go into the 400 size you will trend towards a D. If you go on top of the muscle, compared to below the muscle, the implants will appear larger because they have greater projection. Hope this helps.

Predicting breast cup size based on breast implant volume.

It is difficult to correlate breast implant volume to cup size since everyone varies depending on breast and chest wall dimensions, body frame, how you wear your bra and what kind of bra you wear. However there are ways to give you a sense of how they look. You can try different size implants at your surgeons office in the bra size you want and see what size fills it out. You try the same thing with a bag of rice at home and measure the volume that it... more

Cup size predictions

Cup size prognostication is not a terribly valuable exercise as every manufacturer uses a different template for bras and many patients do not wear the correct bra for their actual breast size. I would be concerned over going too large with tubular breast issues as this may make the spread between the breasts too pronounced. Typically, tubular breasts require a bit more surgery than a conventional augmentation.

Predicting Size After Breast Augmentation

It is very difficult to predict post-opearative bra cup size for several reasons, and this is why most Plastic Surgeons are reluctant to guarantee that you will be a specific cup size with a particular implant. There are ways to estimate how many cup sizes you may increase, but ultimately these are just that- estimations. Using bra cup size estimations are a reasonable starting point for a conversation, but ultimately, there are better ways to deterimine if an implant right for you.... more

370 to 400cc is a very small difference

The difference between a 370cc implant and 400 cc implant is very minimal. If you are unsure, see your plastic surgeon again and try out his/her sample sizer implants. Whatever you like, go a little bit bigger as they tend to look smaller once on the inside. Martin Jugenburg, MD Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute

Breast implant size

Its difficult to make any recommendations on your implant size without a formal physical exam. And its tough to evaluate you based on the photos you posted. Implant size selection can be based on the dimensions of your chest and your size goals. Please visit with a board certified PS to learn more about your options. Dr. Basu Houston, TX

No cup size guarantees in breast augmentation

There is no way to guarantee a cup size from an implant especially without examining you. Besides that, you should focus on telling the doctor the "look" you want and not the cup size. But also please realize that you have a tough starting point and it will not be possible to get a perfect result. So shoot for "better" and not "perfect" and you can be happy.

Best Breast Implants For Me?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Unfortunately , it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination and a full communication of your goals. I think you will be better off spending more time with your plastic surgeon, communicating your goals as precisely as possible. In my practice, I prefer the use of goal pictures, as opposed to discussing bra cup size. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “D cup size” etc... more
