Currently a C cup, thinking about getting 300cc. What would that likely make me in size? (Photo)

I appreciate your question.

The size of implant best for you is dictated by your
chest wall measurements. Once we determine that we can choose the profile
based on what you want or need to achieve.  If you are seeking a natural look,
then the diameter of the implant should be equal to or, more ideally, smaller
than the width of your breast. The breast width is a measurement of how wide
your breast is at the base, which should be measured at the level of the
nipple. Choosing an implant that is smaller in diameter than your breast width
will avoid the "side breast" fullness that is often associated with a
more artificial appearance. Other than that, you should choose the
implant based on volume, not on the dimensions of the implant. You should
choose a board certified plastic surgeon that you trust to help guide you in
this decision.

Silicone will give you a fullness at the
top (upper pole fullness).

Silicone implants come pre-filled with a
silicone gel and are the softest implant available. They feel more natural,
which makes them a good option for women with less natural breast tissue; but
they require a larger incision. It may be more difficult to realize if this
type of implant has ruptured, so it is important to monitor them with annual
follow-up visits. Additionally, because this implant contains a more liquid
silicone (less cross-linked), if this implant should rupture, it will leak only
into the scar capsule formed around the implant but may cause some discomfort
or implant distortion.

Anatomic gummy bear implants might be a
good choice to give you volume.

These highly-sought-after, anatomic
implants offer a look that more closely resembles the natural silhouette of a
breast, and, therefore, are a very attractive option for individuals seeking a
natural-looking, aesthetic primary breast augmentation. Additionally, these
implants are an especially excellent option for patients undergoing restorative
or corrective breast surgery because they provide more stability, shape, and
reduced incidence of capsular contracture. Compared to other types of silicone
gel implants, the silicone in the cohesive gel implant is more cross-linked;
therefore, should the implant shell “rupture,” it maintains its shape and
silicone does not leak.

During your breast augmentation
consultation, you should feel the different types of implants available, and try
on various implant sizers in front of a mirror to help you to get an idea of
how you will look following the surgery. You should also bring pictures of the
look you would like to achieve, as well as a favorite top to wear when trying
on implant sizers.

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!

Hello,It appears that you are starting from a great place and should expect nice results. The exact sizes and shapes of implant best suited for you will be determined by your specific breast measurements, existing anatomy and your aesthetic goals. I recommend that you book consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who's before and after photos appeal to you. Bra sizes cannot be accurately predicted as there are no standards for bra sizing between manufacturers.My patients find it helpful to try on implant sizers in the office with a form fitting T-Shirt in order to get an idea of how they will look.All the best

You have a nice shape, and should get a very nice result with a 300 cc implant.  There are 3 helpful measures in determining appropriate size implants: 3 d imaging, goal pictures ( ie you pick out pictures of a size that looks good to you), and trying on sizing implants before surgery to give you an idea what you would look like in a bra and clothing.  Cup size varies depending on fit and manufacture, so I find discussion of cup size only a starting point. That being said, 300 cc is a moderate size, and most of my patients in your situation would be comfortable with implants in the 250-325 cc range, determined with the help of the measures discussed above.

You are not quite a full C-cup in size right now, have very pretty breasts, and can figure that 300cc will add somewhat more than a cup but not quite a cup and a half to your present size. But what bras you buy will determine the letter on the label!Adding 300cc (use the widest profile that fits your breast base diameter, NOT high profile) to what you presently have will give you a beautiful, natural look that will almost certainly NOT be a DD or E cup, no matter which manufacturer's bras you choose to wear. But the look is the key, not the letter, so buy the bras that fit nicely and look great, and forget the letter on the bra label.For example one of my petite nurses wears a 29F bra but also wears 30C cups bras by other manufacturers. That F-cup may sound large, but it truly is not at all. This is why I prefer goal photographs to "cup size goals." Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

For your height and weight a cup size is between 150 and 175 cc. Cup size is a measure of the size of the breast however I tell patient to pick and implant that makes the change in the breast that they desire. (we use sizers) If you don't like the cup size but like the breast shape remove the bra tag!
