Scheduled for surgery in two weeks and debating whether 300cc is big enough. I’m currently a 32a but VERY flat chested. I would like to get to a full C. Implants will go under muscle and my surgeon said he may not be able to go higher because of my anatomy . Thoughts anyone? Looking for pictures on what’s i May look like after
Answer: Implant volume At size 32, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 200 cc implants should be able to get you to size C. I always recommend women get the smallest implant possible. Large implants will stretch the muscle and will descend. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Choosing the right size breast implants for you I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I do this with my patients, we then look at pictures of women with similar measurements with different size breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Sizing important In most cases, 300cc is a big increase. It depends upon your measurements, existing breast anatomy and style/size implants.This is best done in person with your/a plastic surgeon and agreed upon before surgery.

Answer: Sizing Concerns Patients often think in terms of cup size when considering augmentation. Unfortunately, devices are sized in terms of milliliters (cc) of volume. This can lead to some confusion when sizing. Additionally, it is important to remember that cup size itself is not standardized with variations from one manufacturer to another. Unfortunately, as many women can attest their cup size in an industry leader such as VS is not necessarily transferable to another brand. Another point which is often under appreciated is that of anatomy and starting point. Any implant will add volume to the volume which is already present. The implant is additive. A particular volume will not necessarily confer the same cup size to different patients (often times it will not even confer the same cup size to different breasts in the same individual...remember they are "sisters" not "twins"). A general rule of thumb is that 125cc can represent somewhere between 1/2 to a full cup size increase. Smaller volume differentials (25-50cc) are typically less consequential representing a volume change of less than a shot glass. However, I have found these numbers, at least anecdotally, to be of little help. Patients often present with notions/goals which do not correlate with these sorts of sterile volumetric assessments. When sizing patients, there are a number of useful tools including: -3D imaging (has the added benefit of offering a volumetric analysis of the pre-operative breast) -Breast sizers (rice bags) -Goal photos I also recommend that patients commit to a particular look rather than a cup size. Once a patient settles on a look that pleases them the overall cup size increase becomes less relevant.The key to obtaining a natural result is to stay within the parameters defined by your BWD. This will ensure that you avoid the dreaded "fake" look. Assuming you have been sized appropriately, you should obtain a reasonable result. Just remember to "love the look" not "the cup." As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Will 300cc be enough? hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..Based on your question, it is difficult to evaluate your case without photos. my recommendation is a consultation in person with a certified plastic surgeon.
