1) I'm 5' 2", 115-120lbs. I wear a 34B/32C depending on the brand, and my breast diameter is 14cm (been to a few consults). My goal is a full C (current and ideal size above). After trying on some sizers, I am leaning towards 300cc-325cc silicone mod+ implants. Will this give me my ideal look? 2) My biggest concern of getting a BA is that my breast will be far apart. Judging my current picture, do you think I will have that problem? My ideal cleavage gap is ~1cm w/o the risk of symmastia.
Answer: Ideal size There is no ideal size I,last. it really depends on how large you want to,be. The size you are talking will likely make you a mid range C cup. Don't worry about synmastia, I have never even seen it and it is extremely unlikely.

Answer: Cup size and cleavage
Clearly the two most commonly asked questions by women desiring breast augmentation. Although there is no foolproof way of determining cup size a rule of thumb is 200 cc is about a cup size. Your final size will be roughly the sum of the implant and your existing breast volume. So yes a 300-325 will bring you to a full c cup. As far as cleavage is concerned, the muscle insertion on your sternum dictates how close the implants will sit to the midline of your chest. Based on your photos the cleavage gap will be larger than the photos you show as your ideal. Cleavage in a bra can be manipulated to resemble the photos but out of clothing the gap will be slightly wider.
Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to help you understand what can be achieved. Based on your photos I believe you will get a very nice results. Good luck

Answer: 1) Will 300-325cc Bring Me to a Full C? Currently a 34B/32C. 2) Will I Have a Big Cleavage Gap?
There is not an ideal look, but the implants you have chosen are reasonable. The gap between the breasts will remain roughly the same. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Answer: Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile for Me?
Thank you for the question and picture. Despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful specific advice. Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key.
Based on your pictures, I think that you are starting at a good “starting point” and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
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 “full C cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.

Answer: Your goals are realistic and achievable.
Thank you for your photos. Let me address each of your concerns. A 300 - 325 cc implant should give the additional volume you seek to move you up to a full C cup. If your greatest concern is that your breasts will be far apart, inform your surgeon of that concern and the location of the pocket created to place the implants in should be dissected as much medially as possible without fully dividing the pectoralis muscle to avoid synmastia. The lateral pocket should be dissected just enough to fit the width of the implant but no further. This should help narrow your cleavage. Whether you are able to get your ideal look is up to the tissues your surgeon has to work with. Good luck.
