What size implant to choose to go from a c cup to a small d.

Your breast Base size allows you to have a wide range of implants. To go from a C cup to a large C or a small D, you only need about 200 cc. If you don't want a lot of projection and because tour breast is wide, you can choose a low profile implant that gives you a wider dimension for the desired volume. Discuss this with you plastic surgeon.

Can not add more than what the previous expert posters have stated, especially Drs Rand & Aldea. My choice for you based on the frontal photo is 350 to 400 cc HP smooth round. I also must comment on your N/A asymmetry, it could be the photo, but make sure you discuss this with your chosen PS so there are no post operative surprises.

How to choose a breast implant: Class "101"

Here are the basic guidelines for success in my opinion for choosing a breast implant to achieve close to your desired result. The other answers all touch on these points but I will put them in a list form. 1. First, decide on the "look" you want to achieve.

This radically lowers the visibility of implant folds and ripples. In your case, you will have a very wide choice of implants to choose from. While there are many ways to pick implants none... more

Avoiding the unnatural look in breast augmentation

There are various ways to obtain an unnatural result following breast augmentation. One is using implants that are too large for your tissues...with increasing size, once the lower part of your breast fills out to its maximum, then the upper part of the breast becomes more and more filled and bulgy. Patients with looser tissues can accomodate larger implants and still look natural, patients with tighter tissues will start to look unnatural past a certain point. Another way of... more

How to determine breast implant SIZE and PROFILE

Several factors go into deciding what breast implant size and profile is used to achieve the desired results. The limits are what your body and tissue will be able to accommodate. So based on the physical exam and measurements that are taken, a range of sizes are recommended that would not stress your tissues. To help decide on the profile, I like to ask my patients how they want their breasts to look...larger but natural or does she want to have a more obvious... more

Breast Implant Size

If you are looking for a "natural" appearance, and wish to avoid the unnatural round look of the upper breast, I would recommend a smallish implant in the 250-300 cc range. You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon, and ask to try on implants of various sizes at your next visit. Keep in mind that implants placed in your bra on top of your breast will appear larger than when they are actually implanted. Therefore, choose an implant slightly larger... more
