Congratulations on being fit after having 2 children!  From your photo and dimensions I think you can probably carry any of the 3 sizes you mention.  When I size patients in the office we use sizers and really emphasize the balance between breasts and hips.  It is really helpful to look in a full-length mirror, holding the sizers to your chest and turning side to side to see what is most pleasing.  I am also a fan of 3D imaging as one more tool to help you visualize a result.  But if I could only use one way of sizing, I would use the sizers held up to the chest.  Good luck!

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your picture, I think that you are starting at a great “starting point” when it comes to  achieving a nice outcome after breast augmentation surgery.  Although potentially useful to some degree, online “consultations” cannot be as precise as necessary.

Ultimately, careful communication of your goals, careful measurements (dimensional planning),  careful selection of appropriate breast implants and skillful execution of the procedure will be important steps in achieving your goals.
 

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:





1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.  Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.





2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals  with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining  breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural”  or “C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.






3.  Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. 

Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.

I hope this (and the attached link) help.
