Hi, I have a BA booked for March 2013 and decided on 380cc sized implants (left breast 340cc as it's slightly bigger than the right side). I'm a small B (always padded, so doubt I'd fill a non-padded B cup!) After doing, probably too much research...I'm worried I might need to go bigger to achieve a full D cup? I'm 5'9 (172cm), 138lb - fairly slim (a UK size 10) so being tall and having hips, maybe I should go bigger? I'm having dual plane placement HP's. Any advice would be appreciated.
Answer: Implant Size to move from B to DD cup 380 cc breast implants is a reasonable recommendation to move from B to DD cup. The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for your body.

Answer: Implant Selection Process
Women generally need 150-200 cc to increase a cup size. Therefore, depending on your frame, you may need more volume. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
