I'm 5'4'' 32A (size 0). How many cc's will it take to get me a full B cup/small C cup? I liked 34B/32C bra size when tried on.

You will love this operation.  You sound like a fantastic candidate and a 250-300 cc implant sounds perfect.  I prefer moderate plus profile implant to avoid too much projection and fullness on top however.  A  simple sizing system in the office should help determine the best volume for you.  Make sure you provide "want to be " pictures for your doctor as well.  

This causes concern for a number of women. Am I choosing the right size implant for me? I would recommend trying the implants on with a sports bra. This will give you the best visualization of your post-op appearance. Also discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon to make sure that he/she knows that you do not want to be large. Good luck!

rb5516.  I appreciate your concern, because size does matter when seeking a natural looking result in breast augmentation. I ask my patients to bring in photos of breasts the size they desire, because there can otherwise be confusion because B or C cup can vary greatly by brassiere manufactures! I also utilize the implant in the bra technique, with several different implant sizes with a tighter fitting T-shirt to get an idea of what you will look like. Finally, I prefer to meet with my breast implant patients at least twice before surgery, so I am confident that I know exactly what her desires regarding shape and size are. I then have several sized implants in the patient's desired range available in the OR to allow me to tailor the operation to her needs. Be certain your surgeon understands your desires and you should do great as this operation carries a very high satisfaction rate. Good luck!

Thank you for your question, but with out a picture it is hard to advise on a correct size for you, an in person consultation would be best for a proper exam and sizing   consult with a board certified PS best of luck.

The difference in the sizes you wrote are very small. After I measure my patients, we look at pictures of women with similar measurements with different size implants. My patients tell me this process is very helpful to them in getting a better idea of what can be achieved.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  It would be helpful to know your individual breast measurements in order to determine if 250-300cc is the right size for you.  The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question. That size sounds good sounds appropriate for your height and small body frame for the cup size you are interested in. However, an in-person exam is always best to be able to give the most accurate advice. Cup size varies from store to store so there is no guarantee of obtaining an exact cup size after this procedure. I recommend you review before/after photographs, and try on different breast implants sizes to get an idea of what type of results you can expect to get. Also, you can show your plastic surgeon pictures of others who underwent breast augmentation to help communicate what size you are interested in. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation to discuss your options. Regards,  

Deciding on the best implant size to achieve desired goal involves the consideration of height and initial bra size, but there is still individual variation that makes providing a specific implant volume suggestion difficult. People of the same height have different chest wall shapes, and individuals with the same cup size vary in their breast volume and positioning. What is often most helpful is the use of specifically designed implant sizers at the time of your preoperative appointment to determine what you feel best suits you. The use of rice in plastic bags is another described technique. While these methods are typically the best way to direct your decision, if you still can't quite decide, I would venture to suggest the smaller implant size. You mention your most significant concern is being too large, so guide your choice to best avoid this outcome. I hope this has been helpful. Best regards.      

As noted below, cc amount is not the best determinant for sizing. Please go in to your plastic surgeon and have them measure you and evaluate your soft tissues to determine which implants they would recommend to achieve your goals. Best of luck!
