Size 6, 52kg, can 295cc really give me an impressive result/D/E cup? (Photo)

Thanks for your question! If you aren't feeling comfortable with your plastic surgeon's recommendation, you might want to consider getting another one. However, I'm inclined to agree. Keep in mind that a lot of women that have large breast implants did not get there in one surgery. Often times, a second surgery is needed to achieve a big size after the skin has stretched and a pocket is created. Good luck!

With an underbust measurement of 27, your bra should be a size 30. At size 32, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. You will go up at least 3 cup sizes from A/B to D/E. I would recommend following your surgeon's advice about conservative is better. Whatever you do, do not lower the inframammary fold as this will cause bottoming out.

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

The real question is how elastic and thick is your skin, which tells us how much it may stretch.
This is hard to determine in photos however I personally feel an implant above 350cc will put a lot of stress on your tissues.

An implant that exceeds the ability of the skin to hold is the cause of several very difficult (and expensive) issue that need re-operation.

Considering your small frame very likely that you cup size is in the range of 110-120 ml. In order to achieve desired D cup size it is very likely that 350 ml. Implant would be maximum that I would suggest. Hope this helps.

290-300 cc implants will most likely take you to a C cup. 400 cc would be closer to a D cup. However your surgeon may be worried about excess weight and stretch on your breast soft tissues

Dear Friendly329410,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

I don’t like very large implants but you could easily go up to 350 cc’s. I think 395 will not give you the look you want. It will get you to a B cup, maybe a little more

With your frame, you should not go to a D or E cup. this will be too large and heavy for your frame and tissue. The size selected should give you a very nice size for you.

A 295cc implant may not get you to your desired cup size but with your petite frame your surgeon is limited on implant size. I like to use sizers during surgery. This helps me to get my patients as close to their surgical goals as possible while still respecting their anatomy and aesthetics. I've included a video on this that I hope you find helpful.
