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

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

Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved.

Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:

1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or DD or E cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link/video, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
