Will 350cc implants get me a 34B to a 34C? Also would I need any kind of lift? (photos)

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. It is unlikely that you will get a pleasing cosmetic result without a liftKeep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos andwithout 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 you find a plastic surgeon 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

The
general rule of thumb is that one cup size equals about 150 cc. However, this
really depends on a number of factors, including your natural build. For
example, you’re only 5’0” and slender, so a smaller implant may be sufficient
to get great results, while a larger woman may need larger implants. Also, it’s
important to remember that there is no standardization when it comes to bra sizes,
so one company’s 34C could be another company’s 32D. Better than bra size is to
bring in photos that clearly show the results you hope for, and then let your
surgeon choose the correct implant size to meet that goal. You can also try on
external sizers to get a visual of what 350 cc will look like on you.
