I Am Currently a Very Small C Cup and I Want a Full C or S. Will 400 CC Be Too Big for Me?

I am 5'5 and 130lbs and a very small C cup, I wear a padded 34C and have some wiggle room. The doctor said I have quite a bit of breast tissue and very minimal sagging from breast feeding. I told him that I wanted a full C or very small D and he recommended a 400 CC implant. Will 400 CC be too big for me? I definitely don't want to push into a DD cup.

Breast Implant Size and Cup size do not correlate well

Cup size and breast implant size do not correlate well. To answer your question most helpfully, a physical examination is necessary. You chose this surgeon, and he/she is hopefully an experienced and expert surgeon. If he/she is an experienced and expert surgeon, he/she hopefully understands your objectives and will guide you appropriately. see video

Breast implant 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 (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling... more

Implant size

This is a very common question that many patients ask. However, it is hard to correlate implant cc volume with bra size. You should try implant sizers and see what kind of look you are going for rather than bra cup size. The same implant volume can give different cup sizes depending on patients' anatomy (chest width, chest height, height and weight). Talk with your surgeon and ask her/him to guide the implant size for your desired look.

Breast implant sizing

There is no perfect way to size a patient. The process that I utilize although not perfect helps patient to conceptualize size. I place them in a Warner Bra style 1003 which has no underwire and no defined cup. I will then place actual implants inside the bra and then place you in a T shirt. Once you achieve the size you are looking for I then add 25cc to your choice to compensate for placing under your tissues, especially the muscle which has a tendency to flatten... more

Cup size is not the best way to think about this

I try to help my patients decide on size without fixating so much on cup size. A lot of factors enter in to the post op appearance. A general discussion about your expectations is best! Be honest with yourself and your surgeon then trust his experience and judgement. That is what his job is. Pick someone you are comfortable with. My breast implant patients have become my patients for life.

The person that would know the best is the person that has actually examined you. If for some reason you don't trust the number your doctor has come up with you could go on another consultation.

Breast Augmentation Size

It’s hard to say without a photo which placement fits you the best. There are various factors regarding how you want your breasts to look and feel, but if you and your doctor have a good, open line of communication, you shouldn’t need to go back and forth on your decision. A major factor that effects how breast implants look and feel is whether they're inserted over or under the chest (pectoral) muscle. I do submammary and submuscular implants, inserting the implants under... more

Breast Implant Size

Without seeing you in consultation, taking breast measurements or even seeing before pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice about sizing. In your appointment, your surgeon or his staff should take measurement of your breast width and also may have different size implants for you to try in your bra. This may help give you an idea of what to expect. Good Luck.

I Am Currently a Very Small C Cup and I Want a Full C or S. Will 400 CC Be Too Big for Me?

Without even a posted photo I would agree at least a 400 cc. Better yet 450 cc HP in my guess/opinion. Best of luck.

Would need an examination with measurement of breast base

Without an examination with measurement of breast base dimensions it is very difficult to determine the volume necessary to achieve your desired endpoint.
