I Am Currently a 32b and Want to Go Up to a Full C Cup Will 275cc Work?

At size 32, 100 cc's of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.  A 32 B would require 100 cc's of implant to go to a C and 200 cc's of implant to go to a D.  275 cc's is more than adequate.  I recommend silicone gel placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural.

Best Wishes,

The best way to predict cup size changes and cc of the implant is to wear a bra and put that many cc of volume in the bra and look in the mirror.

Some use bags of rice and surgeons will often use an external sizing system.  This way the volume needed to be added to what yuo have can be assessed and the result yuo want can be predicted.

The problem will always be that 275 cc will produce one reult on one person and another on a different person.

Look for what yuo want in terms of the final result yuo see when yuo look in the mirror after adding the volume and the path will become clearer.

I always say that Victoria's secret C cup is different than another store's C cup.  So it really depends on how much tissue you have to start with when adding an implant for breast augmentation.  The selection of a 275 ml implant sounds very reasonable but it is always better to go slightly larger if waivering on a size.

Thanks for posting your questions. Your measurements suggest you're a petite woman. You may also have small breasts and tissue, which may not stretch much. Both 275 and 300 seem like reasonable choices, but there is no way to predict the ultimate size or bra.  It might be best to seek a few opinions from another local surgeon on how best to meet your wishes. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

It is impossible to give accurate advise based on the information you provided. Measurements, dimensions and a good examination are necessary in addition to a good understanding of your goals. That being said, given your description, I suspect that 275cc would increase your cup size about 1 1/2 sizes. Good luck.

The most important consideration here is not the cup size, rather the size of the breasts on your body.  If you pick the size of breasts you like, then whatever cup it takes to fit them is the right cup size.  That may be a C, it may be a D.  It may be that you don't like the look of either a 275 cc or 300 cc implant, and really a 350 cc implant is better for you.  The best thing to do is to try on sizers with your surgeon or nurse while you look in the mirror at the size and proportions of your breasts.  This way you will get a good visual idea of what you will look like with different implant volumes, and you can make a more informed choice.  Then the cup size of your bra really becomes a secondary consideration.  

Hi

Trying to predict a bra size is very difficult as all manufacturers have different sizes.

Roughly speaking, 100cc is 1 cup size.

If both the 275 and the 300cc implants have been measured up by a qualified plastic surgeon then you can't go wrong. If it is a coin flip between the 2, always go for the larger implant. Especially seeing as 25cc difference between the 2 is minimal.

 

Good luck with your journey.

Despite your excellent description of body type and goals,  it is not possible to give you specific advice without direct examination or at least viewing pictures.   Ultimately, careful communication of your goals, careful measurements (dimensional planning),  careful selection of appropriate breast implants and skillful execution of the procedure will be important steps in achieving your goals.
 

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering  revisionary 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'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 “C cup” or "fake or huge look" 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.







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 (and the attached link) help.

I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:

1.Dimensional planning
2.Gel Implant Sizing system

Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.


Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. 

Lastly, please make sure your surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  The proper credentials and certification matters.
Hope this helps.

SInce there are no photos posted, and since there are no fixed definitions of cup size, this is hard to answer.

The difference between 275 and 300 cc would be almost unnoticeable. If someone said 200 cc, another 400 cc you would have a problem decided. Choose a surgeon with whom you feel most comfortable and who can show photos consistent with your goal. Let your surgeon make the size choice, albeit with your input.

Best wishes.
