I am 5'4 and 120 llbs and wear a 34a bra. I am scheduled to have 350 cc implants (possibly filling it to 375 cc). I want to be a full c. I am worried that I should have picked a larger size but i also don't want them to look to fake. Should I have picked a larger implant if i want to be a full c?

Answer: Final cup size is a product of implants size and stature of the patient in breast augmentation.
A breast implant delivers a certain volume to the chest. This volume will translate into a bigger cup size when the patient is petite any smaller cup size when the patient is large with broad shoulders.

Answer: Implant Selection Process
Without seeing you, I would guess that you need a larger implant to reach a full C from an A cup. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
