How many CCs do I need to go from a very small A to a full C ? My Dr. said the smallest he would go is 325cc. will that get me to a full C or do I need to go larger? I am getting high profile mentor silicone gel implants. under the muscle . incision under the breasts.
Answer: I am 5'8 125lbs . very small 34 A . flat chested . What size would a 325cc make me? Try not to be too focused on cup sizes alone. Bra manufacturers have not standardized cup sizes, so cup sizes will very from manufacturer to manufacturer. Generally, through the years I have found about 200 mL will give you an additional cup size. However, the important thing is for you to like the appearance. I suggest you find a plastic surgeon with Sizer's that can place them in a bra for you to view in a full-length mirror. Be sure to take a T-shirt with you to the consultation to see what the various sizes look like. Sizer's generally come in 100 ml increments, whereas the implants increase by 25 ml's for each succeeding implant size. To answer your question, a 325 ml implant would probably make you a full C cup. With such a small amount of breast tissue, the implants should be placed behind the muscle. Smooth, round gel implants rarely cause rippling, but the submuscular position further assures that. Through the years, I have noticed that textured and saline implants have a higher rate of wrippling. Thank you for your question and best of luck to you.

Answer: Implant volume and cup size At size 34 A each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. To achieve a C would require 200 cc implants. I always recommend small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: 325cc implants The best advice I would give you is to make sure that you try on implants of different sizes to make sure you are comfortable with the size. There is no uniform cup size; they vary for each bra manufacturer. My patients try on implants with our nurse during their pre-operative appointment with t shirt so they can visualize what they might look like after surgery. You might want to ask if you could have another appointment just to try on implants if you are not sure about the size range suggested for you. I wish you luck in your upcoming surgery.

Answer: I am 5'8 125lbs . very small 34 A . flat chested . what size is 325cc? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. The cups of a 32 C and a 38 C are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest youdiscuss this with your plastic surgeon who should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California

Discussing your goals (or evaluating the outcome of) for breast augmentation surgery in reference to specific cup sizes is NOT a good idea and can be a source of miscommunication. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may be helpful during this communication process. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. I hope this (and the attached link) help.
