During my sizing consults, 295cc under a tight sports bra seems PERFECT. Totally complimentary of my slim build and narrow hips. 325cc looks the same head on w more projection but when I tried on my fav shirt overtop it looks TOO big. I understand they will appear smaller once behind the muscle. My dream is to be a full C cup, not a D. Finding that different nurses stress different things. Do I go with what feels like my dream implant (295cc)? Or do I go larger and pray it settles? Thank you x

Answer: Breast augmentation, 295-325cc Hello and thank you for your question. In addition to the goal pictures you have posted, it would be helpful to view pictures of your breasts and to know your individual breast measurements. 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. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: Breast implant sizing Hi and welcome to our forum!Determiningthe "best" size of breast implant is not an easy task,especially since each individual has a different concept about what is"normal". A request to be "average" or "big" istoo vague to be of any value and cup size varies frombra manufacturer to bra manufacturer.Wearingan implant externally in a bra may provide an idea of size. Consider bringingin "wish photos" to show your surgeon what youdesire. Adding rice to a bag from a measuring cup ( 1 cc 1 ml) andplaced in your bra may determine fill volume. Computer imaging is a tool usedby some to estimate new breast size. Breast dimension measurements areessential as implants vary in width and projection. The distance is measured incm...drop vertical lines downward to the bottom of the breasts frommedial and lateral aspects and measure straight across. If the baseof the implant is too narrow, you will not have cleavage. If too wide, you willexperience "lateral boob", where there will be unnatural lateralfullness. A discussion after thorough examination withyour surgeon is required. Teardrop(anatomic) implants have an asymmetric shape, fuller at the bottom withless fill at the top, while traditional round implants are compressedcircular spheres. The choice is up to the patient, with the majority requestinground implants as they are less expensive, require a smaller incision, and givesatisfactory results. Look at before and after photos to compare theresults of both procedures. The number of cc is secondary....It's the"look" that should be of primary importance, and that decision is upto you.Best wishes...
