Hi. I am Asian, 5'7" and 130lbs. My boyfriend wants me to have "C" Cup Breasts implants. At the moment I am flat chested, (ie AA cup).
Is C cup too big for my body frame, especially for an Asian? Also what would be the volume of the implant? I know doctor measure by cc's. Any suggestion is welcome.
Vicki
Answer: Breast Implant Size?
Thank you for the question.
It will be extremely important that you communicate your size goals with your plastic surgeon. Your definition of “C cup breasts” may differ from that of other people. Also make sure you are communicating your (not your boyfriend's) goals.
In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" or "top heavy" 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 breast 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.
I hope this helps.

Answer: C cup okay if that's what you want Most women, at least in my practice, who come for augmentation want to end up in a "C" cup. At 5'7", I think you would look fine. As thin as you describe, I would recommend silicone gel implants.

Answer: C Cup choice
Choosing the right implant is something decided upon during a physical exam after consultation and discussion of your desires.

Answer: C cup breasts on your Asian frame is up to you Hi Vicki, Welcome to the Real Self site. Depending on the elasticity of your skin and the lack of breast tissue going from a AA to a C may not provide you with ideal results. The choice of which implant you choose is ultimately up to you. You are the patient after all. My advice to you is to not fixate on a number or cup size. Your goal should be to find an implant that will give you a shape and size that will work for you. It is nice that your boyfriend is involved in this process but you should be doing the procedure for yourself. Choose whatever size makes you happy after consulting with your physician friends and family. Good luck!
