Can I achieve C-D cup size starting out at flat AA-A? (Photos)

Hi and thank you for your question. Almost every time I can achieve the result the patient is wanting. It does depend on several factors but rather then trying to figure this out online I would suggest finding a Plastic surgeon close to you for an evaluation as more can be determined during the consultation. We offer complimentary consultations as many plastic surgeons do. But your more likely to get the information you seek from the consultation. Most office will also have some type of sizing tool available as well. Currently like most practices we offer virtual Consultations which can also be performed by the plastic surgeon you choose. Have a wonderful day and best of luck.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question.

You are a great candidate for breast augmentation and should expect a dramatic result. You should be able to achieve your goal, however, the exact sizing will depend on your chest and breast measurements. Selecting the best implant for you will depend on an evaluation and discussion with your board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.

You should be able to get close to your size goals with implants.

Many factors including your baseline, measurements, tissues, etc come into play.

An exam and consultation with plastic surgeons until you are comfortable is recommended to best discuss your options and expectations.

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.

Thanks for your question! I think 400-600cc's on your tiny frame is going to be almost impossible without complications. I think you can get a beautiful result, but you shouldn't try to go too large. Get a great result with this first surgery and then revision/replacement down the road will be a breeze. Good luck!

Good morning!
I perform a lot of first time larger augmentations, so it may very well fit, especially since you're 5'5". I suspect you can reach your goals with only one surgery. You will likely need an inframammary crease incision because your areolas look very small.

Hello, thank you for your question. A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant. Based upon measurements of your chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various silicone cc sizers your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. Select the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy.

Thank you for the question and photos provided. You should be able to accomplish your breast size goals with augmentation. It is very important that you try on breast sizers until you find the size that you love. From there, your surgeon and you will be able to come to a size and implant profile agreement that will lead you to a very satisfying outcome. Your breast measurements will help your surgeon assure that the volume chosen will fit your breast safely.

Surgeons adept at biodimensional analysis can make a few static and dynamic measurements to objectively determine the largest implant that can be placed safely without unnecessarily increasing your risk for complications and reoperations. Stop thinking in cups, and don't make implant volume decisions based on looking at before and afters of other people. You may need to consider staged procedures to achieve your ultimate goal.

I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.
