Okay 33 years old, I am 5'5" and 178 lbs. I've had three children and have breast fed all. I'm currently a 38 A/B but went up to a 42 C while breast feeding. Anyway, I'm having a mommy makeover done soon, and the implants a chose are 700 cc's. My questions are: will an implant this large bring me up to a DD? And if so, would my body be able to handle an implant so large? I have wide shoulders and wear a size 14 pant. Hips are 44" wide. Will this work for me?

Answer: 38 A/B to 38 DD using 700 cc's, is it feasible? Hello, Thank you for the question. Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on patient’s desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions. I also utilize Vectra 3D planning to further help with implant selection. 700cc size implant is considered large but will likely give you a full DD cleavage that you desire. I would encourage you to seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Implant volume and cup size It is difficult to give you meaningful advise without in person consultation or, at least, series of good photos. One way to calculate your cup size gain based on volume of implant, is to consider that in your body frame/size category, one cup size is around 170-200 ml. This means that with implants of 700 ml you will be 3-4 cup sizes larger from current size. It is also possible that you may need a lift, since implants, regardless how large, will not significantly change position of your nipples. In person consultation ahead of your date of surgery is recommended. Good luck.
