I feel as of a full C would be too much boob for me.I just had a consultation I tried on 300cc and a 350cc implant. He said the 300cc was a B cup size and the 350cc is a C cup. I felt weird in the C cup size as if it were a bit much and the B cup was a bit to small.He said he liked the bigger breast better.I just don't know what size would look best in me.I haven't seen much of a size in between both those sizes.Is there any other surgeons in the OC area with any recommendations?
Answer: Finding the right size Thanks for your question and photos. There are a number of variables that go into picking the right size implant. If based on your measurements you could safely go with a 300 or 350cc implant, then you have to decide if you are afraid of being too small or too large after surgery. Based on what you have described, it sounds like you are more afraid of being too big after surgery. In that case I would tend to recommend that a patient go with the small of the the two implant choices. Best of luck!

Answer: Between a B and C-cup? Hi Kim092193,Thanks for your questions and photos. You are asking the right questions. While I cannot offer a definitive opinion without a physical exam, I do believe that you might need a smaller implant than 300 cc. For someone with your petite size, going up to a B+/C- cup may not require that large of an implant. I would encourage you to do further research and choose your surgeon after going to several consultations. You should find someone with whom you are comfortable and feel confident that they can perform the procedure well for you after answering all your questions and reviewing before and after photos of patients like you. Please seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area in order to further discuss your options with a breast enhancement specialist. Best wishes!Dr. Brown

Answer: Choosing your implant size Based on your photos, I suspect that either 300cc or 350cc would look good, although an in-person examination is necessary in order to provide the best recommendations. In my experience, photos are helpful to illustrate your goal appearance, after which I can try to match that appearance as best as possible. For you, I would plan to take implants ranging in size from 300cc to 350cc to the operating room, then insert a "sizer" implant during surgery to best determine which implant size will provide the closest match to your goals in YOUR body, since implants can have a somewhat different effect in each person. I would then be able to select the implant that would most likely give you the look you want. In truth, a difference of 25 or 35 cc is not really noticeable to patients or to doctors, but we could also test a 325cc implant during surgery if you'd like. Best of luck!

Answer: The right size for you It is very difficult to determine the best implant you will need (recommended based on your photos) or the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 300 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below including silicone vs saline implants:

Answer: Breast augmentation When choosing the size of the implants, we combine a proven formula based on measurements of the breasts and chest along with through discussions of patient's desires. Photos of ideal breasts and results from patients with similar breasts are often very helpful in the discussion. Breast augmentation is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results in a variety of breasts types. Most important is a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon regarding this procedure. Don’t settle for less!
