Around How Many CCs Would I Need if I Am a 34B and Want a 34DD?

As previously stated, this art is not an exact science. In general 200 ccs is about a cup size but not exactly because a D sized breast in someone 5'1" is smaller than a D cup in someone 5'10"  . Also the final breast size incorporates the implant , the breast tissue,and the muscle thickness.  I don't use sizers in the OR because I want YOU to know and chose your final size BEFORE surgery so that there are no surprises post op. 

Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

At size 34 each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change.  You would need 300 cc implants to go from a B to a DD.  I recommend silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural.
