Answer: I'm a 34C considering 500cc. Is it too much? Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: How Big is Too Big ? You should first try on implant sizers with a non-padded bra and see what size makes you happy and how you will look in clothes. Your surgeon must then evaluate your skin, breast tissue, and history to see if your skin can safely hold the size you have selected. Many problems with breast implants arise from selecting an implant that exceeds the ability of your skin to hold it properly.

Answer: Breast implant size Thanks for your question. It is impossible to answer your question with confidence without an examination and discussion about your desired outcome. Off the cuff, 500cc implants with a preop underfilled C-cup of breast tissue sounds like a lot. That will put you in the DD or more range. Perhaps that is what you want? Best of luck!
