Age 34, 5'3", 105lb, 32B - 200cc to Get Full C or Small D?

It is very easy to be confused by this measuring system. Cup sizes are only used as estimates for clothing. Although the measuring technique for determining cup size is precise, the results of these measurements are not. Let me give you an example; weight is a very accurate measurement. However two patients that weigh 120 lbs are not likely to look alike. The same is true with two patients that have C cup breasts. This is why physicians tend to use volume (cubic centimeters or cc) as a more accurate measurement. Note: If you are trying to figure out what breast implant size you want to obtain, you can try the szing tool available through b4bra.com or read the articles about measuring there.

Size is a complex decision that is not only based upon your height, weight and current cup/bra size but ALSO on also on your breast diameter, waist, shoulder, and skin envelope measurements. These can only be assessed in person during a consultation. A good place to start is using my "Find your perfect size" tool listed in the left hand column of my bodysculptor.com home page. Another good place to look is the searchable database section of the physicians' photos on implantinfo.com. Best of luck.

I use a technique called dimensional breast augmentation which involves taking in a number of factors and measurements, so each patient is unique. That being said, given your height, weight, and your activity level, along with the fact you are considering a lift, I would say you are probably not that far off in choosing an implant in that range. Best thing to do is to see a qualified plastic surgeon that has good breast expertise.

I think that your Plastic Surgeon would recommend the Right implant to get the results you desire.  The last thing any surgeon wants is an unhappy patient.  A lot of the amount of CC that will give you the best results is how your chest measures out and your current cup size.  Try doing the rice test at home or with a friend and see what you think.  I have posted many times about how the rice test.  Good Luck!

As a rule of thumb, usually, about 150-200 cc of implant equates to a cup size in a bra.  Since you are a 32 band, probably more like 150 cc / cup for you.

So, 200 cc might make you a little more than a cup bigger, but would probably not get you to the full C/ small D that you are hoping for.

Did you try on a sizer implant?  That would be an easy way to check it for yourself.

 

All the best,

Sorry to tell you but 200 cc will NO WAY get you to a small D cup.  Whether that's what fits you best or not, there is no way.  I do hundreds of these a year and you will simply not be happy with that if your expectation is to get to a small D.
