I am a 31 year old mother of 3 currently victoria secret 34 A wanting to be a full B cup modestly a C cup. My PS suggested 275-300 cc high profile silicone sub muscular. Also he is inserting a pain pump which releases a lidcaine type medicine for 4 days? Is this a good thing??I am wanting a very natural look as well as a little on modest side. I'm 5'4 120lbs who enjoys working out. Should I try 220-250cc range to achieve this goal? Biggest concern being too big.
Answer: 300 cc Implant is good to go from Cup A to to Full B ?
Hello, the best way to decide the right size of Implant is in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. But in general terms, 300 cc (gr) is considered a "medium size" Implant, and will probably give the new desired cup (maybe around full B / small C). ... The sizing for Breast Augmentation will consider your actual breast size plus the Implant volume. About the lidocaine pumps some surgeons use them, but I do not find them necessary. Best Wishes..

Answer: Breast augmentation sizing Dear Kate, While it is difficult to give precise advice online, based on your description of wanting to be a full B cup, you will likely be closer to 250-275cc implants to provide that kind of a cup size for you. More importantly, you should have this discussion with your plastic surgeon looking at similar patient pictures and the final outcome. Breast of luck.

Answer: 300 cc Too Large for Full B cup
The short answer is that 300 cc is probably too large to get to a full B cup. However, I would not focus on cup size. Sizers in the office will give you a good idea of implant size. The average volume implant placed in the US is 350 cc so a 300 cc implant is not a big implant. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Best Breast Implant Size for Me?
Thank you for the question.
As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery 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're 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. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C 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.
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.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.

Answer: Implant Selection Process
I think 300cc will meet your goals. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
