36A/32B to 400cc, Worry About Sizing? (photo)

I find I typically go with smaller implants for people who want a C vs a D, that being said I am a very conservative augment surgeon

I believe a 400cc implant would be much to big for you, but it is your decision.  I believe you will be a full D-cup with that size implant.  300cc would appear more natural, but it depends on what you want. Good luck.

Implant size selection b can be quite tricky.  First of all, a common measure of breast size is bra cup size.  This is problematic because cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and from style to style and is not entirely reliable for precise measurement and prediction of breast size.

I am also an advocate of dimensional planning.  This is a process where measurements of the chest wall as well as the breast height and width as well as your own tissue characteristics are all taken into account to determine what implant size will be best suited for your particular tissue characteristics.

In my office, I also use a breast implant gel sizing system.    This way you can visualize the possible outcomes to get the size and shape that you always wanted

Hello. The most important factors for determining the size of implants that could be used on a patient include width of the base of the breast, the size of your thorax and the amount of breast tissue and skin you have. Without this information or a personal consultation it is impossible for me to decide what implant you can have.  I would imagine that your surgeon has already taken these measurements and after discussing your goals is confident in the size chosen.

  350 cc is the most common volumetric amount placed in the US.  In general, trying on sizers in the office is the best way to determine volume.  If you are going submuscular, the implant volume selected may need another 50 cc or so.  175 cc to about 250 cc is about one cup size based upon a number of variables, so 400 cc may be the right amount for you.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
