I am getting my breasts augmented tomorrow. I am 20 years old, 5'1, weigh 106 pounds, and my size cup is 32A. I want to achieve a natural look, B, not a C cup. My doctor said he would use a 400cc saline implant. However, after doing my research, i have noticed that 400cc tends to create a C and sometimes D cup. Does this vary from person to person? Or should I ask my doctor for a smaller implant. Please help, i'm desperate :(
Answer: Implant for B-cup If you want a B-cup, you shouldn't go larger than 250cc. A 400cc implant will likely make you a D-cup. Communicate your desires clearly to your surgeon and hold those implants in your hands to make sure you choose correctly. Good luck.

Answer: 400 cc Implants Look Different on Different People
Thank you for your picture. The 400 cc implants will vary from person-to-person based on their height, weight, chest width and breast tissue or lack there of. I will revisit this with your plastic surgeon to make sure that you are incomplete understanding of him/her and he/she is in complete understanding of your expectations.

Answer: Implant Size versus Cup Size You are correct that the same implant can look different in different people. In general for a person your size, an implant that size will probably take you to at least a C-cup or more. If you are unsure of your surgeon's recommendations, seek a second opinion.

Answer: Is a 400 cc implant the same for everyone? No! A 400 cc implant can be low moderate or high profile. The high profile will be narrow and projecting, the low profile will be wide and flat. So first be sure that you know what style implant you are getting. Cup size varies from person to person and from bra to bra. It is also affected by how much tissue your starting with. I always recommend that my own patients try on implant sizers to see if they like the volume on their own frame. It sounds to me like this would be a good exercise for you. Discuss it with your plastic surgeon. You may also wish to discuss a silicone implant. While there are pros and cons to each implant to a silicone implant generally tends to look more natural. When in doubt, delay your surgery. You don't want to go through this without being comfortable with the size that you are choosing. I hope this helps.

Answer: Does 400cc Saline Breast Implant Vary from Person to Person?
Yes, the use of a 400 cc breast implant will achieve a different result from one patient to another. As you know, every patient starts out with a different volume of breast tissue and has a different shape chest wall. Furthermore, other anatomic features such as patient height and body proportions differ.
Also, as you know bra cup sizes will vary from one bra manufacturers to another; therefore, it is not useful to discuss goals or base satisfaction with the outcome of surgery on achieving a specific cup size.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) 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.
