Breastfed 1 child. Does 450cc (gummy bear) seem logical to obtain a D/DD size? (photos)

Dear emocyko,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Thank you for your questions. you have B-Lite in Turkey. you can have your procedure in Turkey we have B-Lite implants.

Breast implants are sized according to their volume in cubic centimeters (cc).

How do you know what size implant to choose? Looking at pictures and talking to friends who had a breast augmentation might help.

Off course the volume will depend on the shape and size of your actual breasts, your frame and the size you want to achieve.

Our plastic surgeon will advise you thoroughly. Bringing pictures of a desired restult to be shown to our surgeon, might be very helpful.

Among all the tools available to predict final size after breast implants, my patients think sizers remain the most reasonable. Adding a small amount to that sizing amount is reasonable for submuscular placement. The average size implant placed in the US is 350 cc. Therefore, most reasonable implant sizes are from about 250 cc to 450 cc. The implant can be chosen to fit the size of the chest wall using one of several profiles. No relationship exists between the number of cc's and bra cup sizes. I would leave it up to your board certified plastic surgeon in the OR to select the best option for you based upon his/her experience, training, education, and aesthetic talents.
