I have my BA & TT scheduled for the end of June... My PS has recommended 280cc ( from what he had on his notes ) well the lady had me try on 265, when we asked her what size they were she told me around 270cc... Besides being told all these diff numbers, I'm just really hoping to get more of a full c... I know it's just a letter & a number but I don't want to walk out regretting not going any bigger... Thank you

Answer: Implant size to acheive your goals There are several factors that plastic surgeons consider when recommending implant sizes. I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:1. Dimensional planning2. Gel Implant Sizing systemDimensional 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. Hope this helps.Dr.BasuHouston, TX

Answer: A to C There are no reliable translations of implants size to cup size increase. Some surgeons estimate a cup size increase for every 150 to 250 cc. There are no uniform standards to define cup size. Furthermore, a C on a 36 band is smaller than a C on a 38, and larger than a C on a 34, and so forth.My preference is to have patients try on implants and use that info in picking the best size to use at surgery. All the best.
