Will 205 cc Motiva be too small? (Photo)

Question

Recently had my consultation with my PS where he recommended 205cc Motiva demi Ergonomix. He said i could go up to 235 cc but that it wouldn't fit me as well as the 205cc. My BWD is 12 but they said that i had to look as if it was 10 because i already have breast tissue (what's the reasoning behind this?). Currently a 70B, wanting to be a big big C or small D Stats: 170cm, 53 kg

Dear Sparkly32,
Breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

A cup size doesn't have an equivalent implant size. This being said, it would not always be the exact cup size that you desire. This is due to the different chest wall measurement of each individual. An implant of the same size would give two different cup sizes on two different individuals. The best course of action would be to schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination and a detailed discussion of your surgical options.
