I am 5'5, 120lbs. Size 32A and want to be a 32DD. How many CC do I need? (photos)

Based on your wish photos, you want an augmented look. This is certainly achievable, but an in person exam is needed to get your breast dimensions, answer all your questions and to look at implants. I think you should try on the recommended size so that you get an idea of your post-op appearance. Good luck!

It is very difficult to determine 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 350 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. . 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 below link.#breastaugmentation#findingtherightsize#BA

It is unlikely that you will be able to achieve the look you describe without going beyond your own anatomical measurements and dimensions.The only way to know for sure is to get an in-person evaluation with a BCPS, try on sizes and get some feedback on your desires vs what is anatomically feasible.Best.

Thank you for your question.  In order to truly determine which size implant will best help you achieve your overall desired goal, it would be best to schedule a consultation with a board ceritifed plastic surgeon.  At that time you can be further evaluated, try on sizer implants, discuss your goals and address any concerns yo have.  Then together you can create the surgical plan that will best help you achieve your desired look.Best regards,Dr. Lane F.Smith, MDPlastic SurgeonLas Vegas NV

This is a common question among my patients. Unfortunately
there is no uniform cup size; they vary for each bra manufacturer. To give you
an idea of how cc's correspond to the amount of fluid, 25cc is about 2
TBS. The most common size implant I use in my practice for women who
wear your bra size is about 275cc-350cc in order to achieve a C cup depending
on your original breast measurements and size. To achieve a D or DD cup in most bras, you would most likely need to have larger implants. It is best to try on implants in your surgeon's office during the consultation or preoperative appointment. The implant size and shape also would depend on your breast measurements. There are many different styles of implants that are available, and your board-certified plastic surgeon should be able to suggest the one that fits your body. I hope this has been helpful, and good luck with your future breast implant surgery.
