Hi everyone I went in for two consultations for a BA and i am currently an A cup wanting to go for a full c small D. BOTH doctors ive been to told me that 265 ccs will get me to a full C small D and that they may be able to put in 295 at most as well. I am really confused because people with the same stats as me need at least 320 for a full c or small D and some questions on here are asking the same thing and the doctors reply by saying 265 will only get them to a full B. my width is 11.
Answer: Breast Augmentation Sizing Hello,To avoid disappointment and confusion, cup sizes should NOT ever be discussed. There is no defined relationship between implant size and cup sizes, and there is no way to predict or guarantee a result. Instead, in-office sizing with a snug, unpadded bra and sizers should be performed to determine your aesthetic goal. However, it is more important to determine your anatomic capacity. Choosing an implant based on your aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity will just lead you to complications and possibly re-operation. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specializes in breast surgery. Best of luck! Instagram: drgeraldminniti

Answer: Will 265 get me to a full C small D from an A cup? I'm confused In my experience, even in the smallest patient 150 cc or so is needed to increase a patient by one cup. So 300 cc for 2 cups.

Answer: Breast Implants/Breast Augmentation/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision Surgery I appreciate your question. It depends on your chest wall measurements and existing breast tissue as implant size does not accurately correlate to a bra size. It also depends on the brand and style of bra you wear as size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. In order to help women choose a nice size I offer 3D imaging as well as sizers from the implant company. This along with precise measurements allows to make a great decision. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz

Answer: Using technology to pick size Thank you for your question. We are lucky enough to have state of the art technology to simulate surgical results, so why not use it?? All of the breast surgery patients in my practice undergo a thorough evaluation using the vectra 3-d imaging system. With this technology you are able to see exactly what different size implants look on your exact frame. I believe that using this will let you figure out exactly what size you will be happy with. I encourage you to come into the office or seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon that has this type of technology for you to use prior to having surgery. Best of luck.

Answer: Will 265 get me to a full C small D from an A cup? I'm confused The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. The cups of a 32 C-D and a 38 C-D are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer.Nor is there a direct correlation between implant shape or size and cup size. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
