Back story: I used to be a 34c (guessing based off bra size I used to wear). My measurements now are 29 band 32 cup. A 32b fits well. I have my surgery on April 16 next month but have yet to see the dr (consult on the 15th). Paid for silicone and my portal says he’s doing bilateral, inframmory, submuscular. Q: I’m wanting to go up to a small D or at least 375 cc. Is that possible? I just can’t stop researching and thinking. It’s making me so anxious.

Answer: Implant selection Implant selection involves several decisions including volume, type, shape, and profile. At your consultation your board certified plastic surgeon will measure your breasts (This is different than bra sizing) and discuss your surgical goals with you. With this combined information a range of possible implants can be recommended. I've included a video on this process that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Your desired size is achievable! Typically, for individuals with a 34-inch chest circumference, every 125-150cc increase corresponds to a cup size. When the chest circumference decreases to a size 32, every 100-125cc increase equates to a cup size. This adjustment is because a 32 D cup breast is actually smaller than a 34 D cup breast, which is smaller than a 36 D cup breast, and so forth. You may notice this difference when comparing friends with different bra sizes, but the same cup size—the cup size is relative to the circumference size, which is 32 inches in your case. Given your history of larger breasts and the photos you've shared, your desired outcomes appear both realistic and attainable. Check out the link below for a recent post featuring a patient with close to a similar starting size who underwent augmentation to a D cup and later a reoperation to a full DD. To achieve similar results, smaller implants may be necessary due to your smaller chest circumference. Dr. B.
