I am a B cup and am having my surgery in exactly one week, however am concerned I have not chosen big enough implants. My surgeon has told me that 440 cc is the biggest he wants to go as there is risk of 'double bubble' , stretch marks etc.. there is a risk of that no matter what so Im not overly phased by this. I want to be a full DDcup.. am I going to achieve this using 440 cc implants.. also he told me my skin is quite 'stretchy'PLEASE HELP!!

Answer: Breast Implant Size and cup size hard to predict with certainty.
It would not be normal to have an air bubble in a breast implant and it is most unlikely that you do. However, the feeling you are experiencing is quite common and at 4 weeks it is most likely to be the implant. If there was air around the implant following your operation it should have absorbed...
The first recomendation I have for you is to use silicone as the larger implants will have rippling issues. The minimal size to get you to a D is the 375. This will be a smaller D. For a mid size I would go with 450 and use a rule of thumb that 150 cc is equal to one cup size.
This can be a real problem after very large implants have been inserted into a small woman. I have seen referals that state they need a pillow to help position their head while sleeping in the prone position (stomach). I always caution patients about not going overboard...
