Sizing is Very Individualistic
No one on RealSelf can answer the question you ask, specifically.
The differences are relatively small, but how the implant fits you and your sense of proportion is unique.
Cup sizing is not precise or standardized. Your idea of a "full C/small D" is not necessarily the same as another's.
Sort this one out with your surgeon.

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...

Larger breast implants and risks
You are asking an aesthetic question and a medical question at the same time and the answer may be different to both. Larger implants may be associated with a higher rate of complications. However most patients desire larger implants. Are you willing to tolerate a higher risk for a "better" aesthetic result. See my article: The risks of larger breast implants"

Breast implants-larger sizes
I would recommend going with the larger size. Just be aware that your breast size does decreae until about a year agfter your surgery. Fortunately, I have not had to change the size of my patients implants but it is very common with plastic surgeons and they end up increasing the size rather than decreasing. Watch my videos!

Breast Implant Size
Breast implant size can only be determined by examining your tissue quality, breast tissue and body frame. The same size implant can lead to different results in different patients. In general, an implant of 150 to 200 cc will increase your size by 1 - A to B, B to C, etc. However, every patient is different and the implant choice needs to be customized to the individual. Good luck with your surgery.

Implant size
50 cc's difference in implant volume will not change the cup size significantly. Usually the adjustment will be in the base diameter of the implants and only minimal projection changes.

How to pick breast implant sizes
How to pick breast implant sizes
1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is realistic for your anatomy. The most...
