300 cc Implant is good to go from Cup A to to Full B ?

Hello, the best way to decide the right size of Implant is in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. But in general terms, 300 cc (gr) is considered a "medium size" Implant, and will probably give the new desired cup (maybe around full B / small C). ... The sizing for Breast Augmentation will consider your actual breast size plus the Implant volume. About the lidocaine pumps some surgeons use... more

Breast implant correct size

I think that without an exam I can not say for sure. Why don't you do a baggy test with the volumes you are considering? Some surgeons use pain pumps, I do not find it necessary.

Breast augmentation sizing

Dear Kate, While it is difficult to give precise advice online, based on your description of wanting to be a full B cup, you will likely be closer to 250-275cc implants to provide that kind of a cup size for you. More importantly, you should have this discussion with your plastic surgeon looking at similar patient pictures and the final outcome. Breast of luck.

Cup size and breast implant size.

Cup size is difficult to predict. Your current volume and the breast implant volume determines the final size, so a 300cc implant, say, may be a B or a C (or even a D), depending on the starting volume. If you want to end up as a B-cup, try buying a couple of B-cup bras and go back to your surgeon's office and fit the sizers into it. This is not all that easy to judge, but it helps.

Choosing An Implant

Thank you for the question. I will typically encourage patients to focus on the result not the cup size. Cup size is an idea not a hard number. This can be seen when one puts on 2 bras that are "identical" yet they often will not fit the same. I would recommend you re-consult with your plastic surgeon, show him pictures, if you have not done so, of what your goal is so that he can adjust his plan accordingly. He is in the best position to give you advice as he has the advantage of... more

Selecting Implant Size

Discussing breast implant size is always important. using photographs of other before and after photos of patients he or she has operated on will be a help in communicating your goals. of course, your height, bone structure, width of chest and current amount of breast tissue will play a role in selecting the ideal size and shape of breast implants. Without seeing you it is hard to know, but I am inclined to think that 300cc implants will give a look larger than the b cup bra size you desire... more

300 cc Too Large for Full B cup

The short answer is that 300 cc is probably too large to get to a full B cup. However, I would not focus on cup size. Sizers in the office will give you a good idea of implant size. The average volume implant placed in the US is 350 cc so a 300 cc implant is not a big implant. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Would 300cc Be Too Big for my Goal of a Full B Cup

Hard to answer without photos and measurements. Your best bet is to try on sizers, and when you find a size that looks right, your surgeon will use that info to pick an implant to reach that goal--probably a bit larger than the sizer. Thanks, all the best.

Full B cup breasts

Hello again Kate, If you are concerned about precise sizing for your BA ask your plastic surgeon (hopefully American Board of Plastic Surgery certified or eligible) to place a sizer during the surgery to determine exactly what volume will give you the full B cup that you desire. My practice is to place a temporary sizer during surgery, sit the patient upright while under anesthesia and inflate the sizer to achieve the breast size that was determined by measurements and discussions... more
