I am currently a saggy, deflated 34B. The breast implants that have been recommended for me is a 340cc HP textured silicone breast implants. Can I realistically expect a D cup from this? I am also doing a periareolar breast lift with this as well. My BWD is 11+ and the tissue is a 2+
Answer: Implants for breast lifting
Sizing needs to be done at the office, but w/o seeing you, I am skeptical 340cc will be large enough.
On another note, I stopped doing periareolar lifts years ago for a variety of reasons. If not willing to do a standard mastopexy, then consider a lollipop lift, and why textured as opposed to smooth wall?

Answer: Breast implant size
It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. 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 cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is “I wish I was bigger”.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast augmentation and lift with Silicone implants Very hard to say what a size will do for your individual breasts, but high profile implants combined with a lift will give significant breast projection. A 340 cc implant is a moderate size for a combined lift though a peri-areolar lift sounds like a great option may not be for significant breast sagging, and it has a tendency to flatten the breast. The scars may spread as well. Be careful with this procedure as it is commonly over-used, though rarely delivers the result it sounds you desire.

Answer: Breast implant sizing The best way to determine which bra size you will fill after surgery is to place the implant sizer in a non padded bra while you are wearing it. Whichever bra the sizer fills appropriately is the size bra you are likely to wear after surgery.

Answer: Breast implant size This is difficult to predict with just these numbers. I would suggest using sizers, the "rice test" zip lock bags filled with water to simulate the volume. Your surgeon should have these available for trial. Alternatively breast implants sizer kits are available for purchase.
