Breast implants 375cc: will this be a full C-Cup?

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is
important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best
resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and
concerns.

Having said that, it is way too early to make any decisions about how your
breast will look. It takes weeks to months to see what is happening. Also the
PS technique will also influence how quickly they settle, as well as the size
of implants, your natural tissue quality and characteristics. As they settle,
your breast mounds will dramatically change. Then after they have settled you
may always go larger if you like.
I typically ask my
patients to wait at least 3-6 months  before evaluating the results of the
breast augmentation or secondary breast surgery. There is no specific time to see a result. This waiting time allows
patients to physically and psychologically adapt to the new changes in their body image.
Best wishes,

Dr. Michael J. Brown

Hello, unfortunately there is no way to predict your final size because bra cup sizes don't have an accurate relationship with implant volume.  The final cup size will also depend on your pre-existing breast tissue and the type of bra you purchase.  If your surgery was recent, the shape will change for at least several months so hopefully with time you will have the result you anticipated.

Thanks for your question. Implant sizing is one of the most common concerns with patients. During your consultation, you should get a chance to try on implants so that you know what they feel like and how you look in them so you can be comfortable with your decision. I usually tell patients that a rough estimate of cup size to implant is that 150-200cc of implant will increase you by one cup size. So starting with an A cup and adding 375cc is going to increase you about 2 cup sizes (to around a C cup). This is just a rough estimate and depends on body/breast measurements. Keep in mind that you are still very early postop and things are going to change over time. That being said, if you think things are too small now, then over time, I doubt they will appear larger as swelling decreases, etc. But, you may find that over time, you become more comfortable with your look and end up really liking your ultimate result. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon and continue to follow closely with him or her. They are the only one who can truly advise you on your options going forward. Best of luck to you!
