currently a 38C; 5'3" tall & 150 lbs. w/ kinda droopy breasts...would like a more perky look with nipples pointed straight ahead or upward & want more cleavage; dont want to be any bigger than a full "D" cup size; how many cc's to achieve this look?
Answer: Breast augmentation and breast appearance
Hello,
It would be difficult to say what sized implant would give you a particular bra size, a concept that most surgeons have said many times on Realself.com. More importantly, you will never be 'perky' with any implant size or shape if you are droopy now. Without the benefit of a physical examination, it is possible you will only achieve your desired appearance with a breast lift in addition to a breast augmentation.
It is in your best interest to have a few consults with surgeons with great reputations for all types of aesthetic breast surgery, are certified by the ABPS, and are also members of the ASAPS.
Best of luck!

Answer: Implants alone do not produce perky breasts
At size 38 C each 200 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. If you want to go to a full D then you will need 200 cc of implant. However, you describe your breasts as droopy and you would benefit from a breast lift. Remember the goal of surgery is to have beautiful breasts. Size is only one factor that determines beauty. The most attractive breasts have the areola, the breast tisse and the implant all in the same horizontal plane to maximize anterior projection and shape. You are an excellent candidate for a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift to achieve the perky breasts you desire.

Answer: What size implants do I need?
This is a very common question and the best answer can only be given after a full consultation. It is said that it takes between 175-200 cc's to increase one cup size, but everyone is different. I like like to use the Vectra 3D system to help my patients visualize results prior to undergoing surgery. If your breasts are droopy, you may require a lift at the same time.

Answer: D cup
The answer really depends on what you look like before surgery and also what your expectations are as far as what you consider to be a D cup. It sounds like you may need a lift along with an implants. Typically if a patient needs a lift I will advise against using an implant that is too large because it can cause recurrent drooping. Go on a few consults and look at photos of women who are similar to you to find out what would work best in your case.

Answer: Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me?
Thank you for the question.
As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery 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're 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. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “perky size D” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
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.
I hope this helps.
