24yr old female. 162cm, 70kg. Starting size 12B, would like to be 12D to 12DD. Any suggestions?

Question

24yr old female,162cm, weight 70kg. Muscular/stocky build, wide shoulders. Beginning with 12B cup size, would like to get to12D-12DD I've had one consultation where the surgeon recommended 375cc moderate plus round under the muscle implants. I'm thinking this size is not large enough for the result I am looking for. I'm happy to go with this sizing if this is all I can have for my body but if I am able to go bigger to achieve the look I am desiring then that would be ideal. Thoughts?

Hi. The image you show is a computer generated image and not a photo but it gives the impression of a volume discrepancy with the right being smaller. If that is true then i would put a larger imllant in on that side. With respect to volume you will get a geat result with a 375 but you could easily go bigger to 425-450cc. Regardsdamien

Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.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 are 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. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural look” or "D or DD 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. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
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, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
