I am 5'5, 140 lbs, with 36A breasts and wanting a full C cup. I will be having 400CC silicone breast implants, moderate profile, submusclar. Would this give me natural look? I don't want them to look "too high" and want soft natural look.
Answer: Choosing the right breast implant size It sounds like 400cc is good for you, but I could give you a better idea during an in-person consultation. To get an idea of how you'll look after the surgery, I would give you different breast implant samples to put into your bra. This is what I do for all of my breast augmentation patients and then they feel very comfortable in choosing the right implant size for themselves.Thank you for your question!Dr. Schreiber, Baltimore plastic surgeon

Answer: Breast Augmentation Based on what you are describing, a 400 cc implant SHOULD give you an augmented look while still looking somewhat natural. However, without pictures, or an exam, its difficult to know for sure.

Answer: The right size for you t is very difficult to determine the best implant you will need (recommended based on your photos) or the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 300 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below including silicone vs saline implants:

Answer: 400cc? Sounds about right. It's impossible to say much more though without a good exam. Choosing the right size implant depends on your goals, dimensions, and quality of skin/breast tissue. Good luck.
