as I already wrote above I am 5'6, 102 pounds and measure 29 inches with breast, 27 under breast (don't think you say it like that but oh well:) ). I breastfed my son for a month and loved the breast I had back then. I will be getting 335/345 cc implants the beginning of February under the muscle. As of right now I don't even fill out an A cup. Will these implants give me my wished full C or even better a D cup?
Answer: Probably. Thank you for your inquiry and photos. Without a physical examination it is difficult to respond with accuracy, but from your photos and dimensions you will almost certainly be a "C" cup with most bras, and possible "D" with certain bras such as Victoria's Secret, which tends to upsize their cup size. However, even though cup size is a common mode of communication, you really want to focus on the "look" that you want your breasts to have. The best way to determine which breast implant size is best for you is by first finding out your specific wishes not only with words or letters as in cup size or “not too big” or “natural”, but also with a visual understanding of what you hope to look like. This can be accomplished either with photographs of patients whose breasts and body type look like you, or ideally with photos of patients not only whose breasts and body type visually are similar to yours, but are also a similar height, weight, and pre-operative breast size. In our own practice we have provided that unique functionality on our website to accomplish exactly that. Unfortunately the most common reason for a woman to be unhappy after her augmentation is feeling as though she is either too big or not big enough. Thankfully, in our practice this is rarely a problem because implant size selection is what we spend most of our time discussing and determining. I do not place the onus of selecting the breast implant size on my patients since they are coming to me for my advice and expertise, but I do ask my patients to be as specific as possible about their aesthetic goals and I then advise them accordingly. If you are confident with your plastic surgeon, make sure that your own sense of aesthetics aligns with that of your plastic surgeon, and that you have communicated to him or her your wishes with photos, not just with words. Your idea of “natural” or “pretty” or “proportionate” might be different from your plastic surgeon’s and it is very important for you to feel confident that you are both of like minds as far as the goals. Best of luck to you and I hope you are successful in achieving the enhancement you are seeking.

Answer: Breast augmentation candidate, some advices: Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. in my practice for cases like yours i recommend Cohesive Gel - Silicone Breast Implants with textured cover ("gummy bear implants"). a volume between 400-450cc will be excellent on you. They are quite safe and aesthetically best as they give a firmer consistency, better projection and most natural appearance than Saline implants.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Implant expectations The answer to your questions is yes. You will likely be a "D". To be sure ( or at least the best way to find out) would be to find a surgeon using the Vectra three dimensional photographic system. My guess is that you will need high profile (or higher) implants to fit your narrow anatomy. I would strongly suggest an endoscopic transaxillary sub-pectoral placement. You look like an excellent candidate.

Answer: Implant selection Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Is 345cc enough for a D cup? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. You are starting from an excellent position and should obtain a very nice augmentation result. Breast implant sizing is an inexact science, relative to a woman's bra measurement, as there is no direct correlation between cc size and cups. As your chest is very narrow, each cc will impact your cup size greater than a woman with a wider chest. The exact size will be unknown, but remember that it is better to fit your bras to your breasts rather than the other way around. Focus more on the appearance that an implant affords your chest in and out of clothing, and try on various sizes to have different views. In most instances in patients with your frame 345 will result in a bra size larger than D. Hope this helps.
