Will a 600cc implant bring me to a DDD in a bra? (Photo)

Question

I would like to be a double to triple D in bras and currently I wear a 34 A. I am not sure if that is the bra I should be wearing because I never actually got sized but do you think a 600cc implant will make me a triple D in bras? I'm 20 years old, 5'5 1/2, 137 pounds.

Thank you for your question, every bra manufacturer manages different sizes, so you may be a different bra size in different brands. I would mostly advice since your getting large implants to visit several board certified plastic surgeons, this way you will be able to be evaluated in person so they can show you physically what might be the largest implant that will fit your body and most of us have sample implants in our office for us to show you how it would look placing the implant inside the bra, to show the level of fullness that you would achieve.Salvador Pantoja M.D.

Dear Oceane,   Thanks for submitting your pictures. From the pictures you appear to be a small A cup with mild ptosis. Since you are planing to have  very large implants I would recommend adding a mini lift procedure to improve on the saggyness, because otherwise, the ptosis most likely will get worse immediately or over time.  If indeed your chest circumference measurement is 34 inches, than  600 cc implants will bring you to 34 DD for regular bra or if you use Victoria secrets bra - 34 DDD. I hope that you know what you are getting yourself into. These will be unusually large breasts and the upper pole of the breasts will ride very high for a long time which will make them look unnatural for long time. You will have to do intense implants displacement massage in order to let the implants settle down. It might take 4-6 months or longer, for it to occure. As long as you understand it, you will do fine. Consult only with board certified plastic surgeons who operate in an accredited surgery center for your safety. Check the before and after pictures to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and you like them. Also, check the reviews for positive patients experience.               Best of luck,                                Dr Widder

Thank you for your pictures. I don't know 600 mL implant will give you a triple D breast cup size. Focus not on your cup size but your desired result. If it is at result is reasonable then a implant will be selected to me that result.

You may very well be a DDD cup with a 600cc implant. However, among bra manufactures the sizing for a DDD can be different. The best way to detemine the implant size you want would be to do sizing in the doctors office with implant manufacturer sizers. This will give you a very accurate visualization of what you will look like.

Janet Woodyard, MD · Answer

a 600cc implant likely will make you larger than a DDD. At your age, you do not have the option to have a silicon implants so you would be getting a saline implants. 600 CC is extremely large particularly for your first breast augmentation. I would suggest a serious conversation with a board certified plastic surgeon before going that large because the rate of complications is significantly higher with very large implants. Best of luck.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

Breast Implant Size is a combination of subjective and objective criteria.There is not a direct correlation between the cc's of a breast implant and the corresponding cup size, as cup size is an inexact measurement that varies considerably among companies and even within the same company. Online consultants will not be able to guide you as well as surgeons who perform in person consultation.The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for your body.Consult in person with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your options.

It’s
hard to predict your final results in terms of cup size because bra
manufacturers don’t have any consistent sizing standards. This means a DDD cup
from one company may be a DD from another or an E from a third. When choosing
implant size, I recommend bringing in some pictures of how you’d like your
ideal results to look, and letting your surgeon determine the best volume to
help you meet that goal. Keep in mind that it’s important to maintain realistic
expectations about your results. A very large implant may not be possible with
your anatomy, as there are a number of factors to take into consideration.

Thank you very much for your
enquiry.  It is difficult to say exactly
what cup size you would get from a 600cc implant, however looking at your frame
a 600cc does look slightly large for you. The reason we say this is that
600cc implants will stretch your natural tissue thinning your breast gland and
with the gravity effects over time the implant will stretch your skin. I think it would be sensible to
have a chat with your plastic surgeon again about the implications of having
600cc implant for your physique which is relatively petite.

I do wish you the best of luck if
you decide to go ahead with your surgery.

Best wishes

Your implant selection may be too large for your frame but this is a personal choice.  In general for every 200 cc of implant volume you will increase your breast size by one cup. So a 600 cc implant should be up 3 cup sizes.

Khashayar Mohebali, MD, FACS · Answer

It is really hard to predict final cup size based on implant size. However, my initial thought is that a 600cc implant is going to be rather large for your frame and current breast size.  I am not sure your skin will expand enough to be able to place such a large implant in one stage.  You should get an exam by your chosen plastic surgeon to go over sizing options in person.  Good luck.
