Will 350 Cc's Give Me a Full B/small C Look or a Full C?

Dear hopeful,

    It is all in the measurement and cup size does matter. That is the best way for a patient to communicate with a surgeon. It might not be 100%  exact but it is quite close as long as the surgeon understand the ratio between breast size and chest measurement. So, assuming that your measurment is correct, 325cc implant will give you a full C and a 350cc implant will give you a small D. If you want to be a full B or small C you will need 190cc implant or 220cc implant. You might want to consider a saline implants that will give the surgeon more flexibility to adjust to the desired size.

                         Best of luck,

Hello,

It is not that plastic surgeons don't care about cup sizes, it's just that we can't predict what size you'll be, even knowing your current size, and what implant size has been chosen.  Bringing in photosgraphs usually depicts quite well the appearance you are trying to obtain, and will allow the surgeon to estimate the size of implant needed to obtain that look..  As for 325 versus 350, you are agonizing over a very little difference in size.

Your concern about going too big is well founded, and when it comes to regret, it seems that its those that didn't go big enough that are getting all the press.  In reality, the ones that go too big are as numerous or more than the others, and certainly more regretful, especially after their second or third reoperation to correct the problems associated with their poor decision.  We surgeons that answer questions on RealSelf.com see post after post of those that have had problems associated with going too big.

You should see a few well qualified (certified by the ABPS) and experienced (member of the ASAPS) and allow them to measure your anatomy to decide what is the most appropriately sized implant. Knowing that will allow them to discuss risks of using larger implants in your quest for your aesthetic goal.

Best of luck!
