What Size Implant Should I Go For? I Am Currently a 34D. (photo)

I am wanting silicone implants placed under the muscle to achieve a perky round look. I am unsure of the size I should go for. My breasts are not very perky but look great in a pushup bra. I am 5'6" and 135 lbs. I would like to be at least a full DD but am unsure how many cc's that would be and what would be too large.

Perky DD cup

I agree that from the pictures provided it is impossible to determine what size of implant or whether you would even be a good candidate for a straight up breast augmentation. Women who have your breast cup have breasts that have either sag or have a big void in the upper pole of the breast. Based on 27 years of cosmetic breast surgery I would caution you on your expectations. This type of breast will never be "perky". As a matter of fact, you will be sadly disappointed if this is your... more

What size for DD?

It is difficult to answer this question with the photos provided. An in office exam where measurements of your breast can be taken is the best way to get you an accurate answer. I would recommend you make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon who does a lot of breast surgery. After a thorough exam and consultation you should have a clear understanding of what you need to achieve your desired result

Best implant size for you

Your question is likely the most common question with respect to breast augmentation. I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.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... more

How Many ccs from a D to a DD?

Thank you for your picture and your question. The picture you sent with the bra on makes it difficult to determine if an implant alone will suffice or if you need a lift also to get to perky and a DD. From the appearance of your breasts in the bra, I have a suspicion you need a lift. The obvious answer is you need a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon experienced in augmentations and lifts. There are many types of lifts available, but the dual plane... more

Best implant for a DD look

Starting from a D cup it might take a fuller implant than you might guess to get up to the DD cup. Everyone looks fuller in a push-up bra don't they? We can't see how the skin envelope is and can't judge such issues as need for a lift, or under the muscle or subglandular placement. Start with a consultation and focus on the 'look' rather than the implant number.

What Size Implant Should I Go For? I Am Currently a 34D

You need to consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area that can examine you and offer you options to achieve your aesthetic goal. It's difficult to tell in the photo, but one option may be a breast lift to achieve the "perky" look that you desire, or your other option may be an implant. Size of the implants and details regarding both procedures would be discussed during the consultation process!

What Size Implant Should I Go For? I Am Currently a 34D.

In bra photo not helpful in seeing the position or droop of your breasts. My guess is a 400 cc implant but only a guess. Seek in person evaluations from boarded PS in your city.

Cup size and implant volume

Choosing the right implant for you requires a good exam and a review of your goals. It is best to discuss that in person during consultation. It is impossible to guess what would be right for you in this forum.

What Size Implant Should I Go For

This would be determined with an in person consultation, and will depend on many factors. You may need a lift, but this cannot be determined without an exam. Best to schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Good Luck!

Implant size information is hard with just pictures

It is nearly impossible to give you an answer to your question with the push up bra and not knowing what is inside. If you came to my practice I would have you try on implants with a normal DD bra and you could determine how large of an implant is needed to give you the size you desire. Best Wishes Dr. Peterson

Hello

In our practice we like to tell our patients that 225 cc equal one cup size. It looks like you have plenty of tissue. Without an exam it would be hard to tell whether you would need a lift. If you are looking too be perkier and fuller a modest size implant with a lift would get your to your goal. Make sure you see a Certified PS to give you your options.

Please send your pictures without bra

It is hard to give you a good answer without examination or set of pictures. You may need to have lift if your breast look good in bra.Look for a board certified plastic surgeon.

Implants add volume, breast lift shapes and lifts breast tissue

Hello, If you do not need a lift then the breast implant that would give you the result that you are looking for will depend on the cup size increase you would like to achieve, your height, and your breast width diameter. In general, an average height woman will get a cup size increase with about a 225-250 ml implant. I would encourage you to try on some implants and figure out what implants sizes give you the look you want. The actual cup size that you will be... more

Best Breast Implant Size for Me?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, the picture that you have posted is not sufficient to provide you with any specific advice ( for example whether breast augmentation alone will suffice to provide you with aesthetically pleasing results). The best advice I can give you online is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results... more
