Would 330cc high profile saline get me large B/ small C?

I appreciate your question.

The size of implant best for you is dictated by your
chest wall measurements. Once we determine that we can choose the profile
based on what you want or need to achieve.  If you are seeking a natural look, then the diameter of the implant should be equal to or, more ideally, smaller than the width of your breast. The breast width is a measurement of how wide your breast is at the base, which should be measured at the level of the nipple. Choosing an implant that is smaller in diameter than your breast width will avoid the "side breast" fullness that is often associated with a more artificial appearance. Other than that, you should choose the implant based on volume, not on the dimensions of the implant. You should choose a board certified plastic surgeon that you trust to help guide you in this decision.

Silicone will give you a fullness at the
top (upper pole fullness).

Silicone implants come pre-filled with a
silicone gel and are the softest implant available. They feel more natural,
which makes them a good option for women with less natural breast tissue; but
they require a larger incision. It may be more difficult to realize if this
type of implant has ruptured, so it is important to monitor them with annual
follow-up visits. Additionally, because this implant contains a more liquid
silicone (less cross-linked), if this implant should rupture, it will leak only
into the scar capsule formed around the implant but may cause some discomfort
or implant distortion.

Anatomic gummy bear implants might be a
good choice to give you volume.

These highly-sought-after, anatomic
implants offer a look that more closely resembles the natural silhouette of a
breast, and, therefore, are a very attractive option for individuals seeking a
natural-looking, aesthetic primary breast augmentation. Additionally, these
implants are an especially excellent option for patients undergoing restorative
or corrective breast surgery because they provide more stability, shape, and
reduced incidence of capsular contracture. Compared to other types of silicone
gel implants, the silicone in the cohesive gel implant is more cross-linked;
therefore, should the implant shell “rupture,” it maintains its shape and
silicone does not leak.

During your breast augmentation
consultation, you should feel the different types of implants available, and
try on various implant sizers in front of a mirror to help you to get an idea
of how you will look following the surgery. You should also bring pictures of
the look you would like to achieve, as well as a favorite top to wear when
trying on implant sizers.

The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.Best of 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.

Thank you for your question.  Each of the implants have their own looks.  The higher the profile, the less natural and more implanted the look can be.  It's important to think three dimensionally when selecting the implant.  The width of the implant should match the width of your breast to create the proper cleavage.  If you are hoping to have a more natural look, you may want to consider a moderate plus profile implant instead of the high profile.If there any concerns about implant size and projection, I would talk to your surgeon about it.  bring photos of breasts that you think are attractive and they will be able to get an idea f the shape that you are hoping to obtain.Best of luck with your breasts.Jeff Rockmore

You have a very difficult question to answer without an exam or pictures.  I generally do not like to promise cup sizes after augmentation. Cup sizes can vary widely depending on where you shop. That being said- on an average built female, a 330 cc implant would be around a C cup. Discuss this with a board- certified plastic surgeon.I hope that helped.RSH

I think anywhere between 300-350 would get to this result. Much of your final result will be determined by a number of factors including what size you are starting with, chest width diameter, and BMI. This should best be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon.Best of luck on your search!Dr. DesaiHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Hello and thank you for your question.  The decision of implant size depends on your breast anatomy and shape.  This decision is best made in person with input from both the surgeon and patient.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Yes I think that a 330cc breast implant will get you from an A cup to a B/C cup after breast augmentation.  I am not certain wether the HP is the right choice for saline breast implants.  I would discuss this with your surgeon.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD

Breast Implant Size is a combination of subjective and objective
criteria.380 cc is a reasonable recommendation. There is not a direct
correlation between the cc's of a breast implant and the corresponding
cup size, as cup size is an inexact measurement that varies considerably
among companies and even within the same company. Online consultants
will not be able to guide you as well as surgeons who perform in person
consultation.The size of the implants are based on a combination
of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to
provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate
many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall
width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level
of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for
your body.

It would be really helpful to have a full consultation with breast measurements taken. Using this information, your plastic surgeon can help you chose the appropriate implants and the " look" you are going for and advise you to give you your desired look. There is no ideal correlation with volume of an implant and "cup size" due to many variables including the patient current breast volume and breast shape.

I think that the best way to select the appropriate implants for you would be to evaluate you in person and review your goals after a thorough exam.  Best of luck!
