Are my Implants Gonna Be Big Enough for What I Want to Achieve?

Hello. I am getting a BA in a few days to increase my small 34 c cup to possibly a d cup. My doctor wants to use 360cc filled to 390cc but I really want a full look and have told him this and I just wanna make sure I will be happy. My bwd is 13 and I'm using moderate profile saline implants. Help please! Thanks!

Breast Implant Sizing

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 variance in cup sizes, the ... more

Picking the Best Breast Implants for Your Breast Augmentation Surgery

Dear heather from carolinas- Choosing the best breast implants for you before your breast augmentation surgery can be trying, but various strategies can help. During your consultation, it's normal for your plastic surgeon to take a look at you and take A LOT of measurements. Then, you can either try on breast implant sizers or have software that can give you an approximate "before and after" comparison with various breast implants.... more

Implant size

If you are 34C , as you claim, than to become a D cup you will increase your breast size by 1 size and a quarter. That means, that with a chest size of 34, you will need an implant of about 200cc.

But, you need to know what you are getting into. Some times, too much of a good thing , might be too much. In... more

Implant sizing

SIzing is always a leap of faith but, as others have noted, you can take steps to achieve a meeting of the minds with your plastic surgeon---to the extent that your anatomy otherwise permits. Definitely try a larger bra, such as a 34D or 36C (they are basically equivalent), stuff it and show your doctor the result. I think you are on target with the proposed implants.

Show your doctor the size you want to be

Thank you for this question. Sometimes it's difficult for patients to convey to their surgeon their desires. We use Mentor's Breast Implant Dimensional Sizing System to give us a rough idea of what patient's want. When a patient tells me a cup size, it's of very little help because cup sizes vary depending on where you shop. Another useful tool we always utilize is photos. Patients pick out a photo of a topless woman that is the size she would... more

Picking implant sizes for you.

I help my patients select the correct size with two methods: 1. Dimensional planning and 2. A 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 a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. Even your... more
