I am a full a cup. I'm 5'7 and 134lbs. After having 2 children my breast are flat above the nipple with breast tissue under the nipped. I am getting saline implants in 4 days. I'd like a full c to a small d. Is 400cc enough to to achieve that?
Answer: BA 400 cc high profile implants may even get you into the D cup range. You already have ample breast tissue so you need to take this into consideration. More like 325-350 for a C cup. Best wishes, Dr. T.

Answer: Your anatomy and your goals Depending on the individual anatomy and desired results, estimations and measurements and the decision about the type of the implants to be used should be made for each patient individually along with a detailed mutual conversation and a physical examination. The elements that form up the breast shape and size and the overall frame can be different in each person. It will be best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Will 400cc of saline be enough to for a full c from an a cup? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, 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 36 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 that your plastic surgeon be 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

Answer: 400CC is plenty Thanks for your question. In general it takes about 200CC to get to the next cup size. As you can appreciate from all of these responses, cup size is very subjective. Achieving a desired look using photos is more helpful. You appear to have a great shape and good symmetry and will do very well. Personally I would use silicone smooth round gel implants to get a softer feel and more natural look. They also have less tendency to ripple, no deflation and less incidence of capsular contracture. Best of Luck!

Answer: 400cc for breast implant Your question is a common one in that most patients want to know how many cc's it takes to become a certain bra size. There is no standardization of bra sizes across the different companies, so a D cup in a Victoria's Secret bra is different than a D cup in, for example, a Maidenform bra. That being said, the most common size implant size for women who are typically an A cup who want to be a full C cup is about 350-400cc. If you are already wearing a C cup bra, you might want implants that are not quite that large. If you are looking for projection, ask your surgeon about the different shapes of implants based on your chest measurements. You may want to ask to try on different sized implants so that you get an idea of the result you want. I hope that this helps with your decision!
