My leftie is a full C, while my righty is a full B; my waist band size is 34. My BA is scheduled for July 25, a week from today, and I want to be a full D. I'm 5'1, and my weight fluctuates between 112-118, 112 now; I will probably gain weight due to the lack of exercise after surgery. I want to be a full D, no more, no less. I don't know how many ccs are good for me. Has anyone gone from a full C to a full D? How many ccs did you get? Full B to full D? anyone? PLEASE HELP! D:

Answer: How many cc's required to achieve your goals? There are several factors that plastic surgeons consider when recommending implant sizes. I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:1. Dimensional planning2. Gel Implant Sizing systemDimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. Hope this helps.Dr. BasuHouston, TX

Answer: Cup size and implant volume Do not base your expectations completely on cup size, it is a ticket for disappointment. Many times a breast augmentation is tell me what I am thinking. In general every 200 cc of implant volume will equal a cup size. At Victoria's Secret you may be a DD while at Nordstrom's you may be a C+ or D. Computer imaging using the Vectra 3D system has been essential in my practice. Patient selects the implant they would like based on an objective range. After 2 1/2 years and over 300 breast augmentations patient dissatisfaction with breast size is <1%.
