Would the 600cc Mean Double DD's? 37yr 126 Lbs 5'4 Looking for Full/big D.

I need help making this crucial decision as I’m about to make my appointment.I don’t want to regret it in the future. I hear that woman regret getting smaller implants and go in for bigger. I know I want D’s for sure just to make sure I’m not getting double DD’s by going for the 600cc. I thought I was at least a B cup, but according to the surgeons measurements he said I’m more like an A cup. I wear 34D Padded due to loose skin. Lost 150lbs getting a lift/implants. Start range 500cc to 600cc

The Right Implant Size For Me

Short answer: that size and style implant should give you your desired result. Long answer: Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted. Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra. Outward projection is further determined by the "profile" of the implant.
