My best guess based on the limited info provided, I would say 450CC silicone gel breast implants. I would see a surgeon and try some on or use a morphing program. Go by the way it looks!Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps.

C and D cup breasts are not in cc's rather they are made up by the bra makers and not standardized. You should have breast implant sizing and selection IN PERSON with an office that can help you choose the right implants based on sizing trials. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.
Hello,Thank you for your question. This is really variable as bra manufacturers have no standards for sizing. Depending on your measurements and where you buy a bra you will measure differently. Your existing breast tissue has volume and this is added to the implant you choose. I recommend that you choose a board certified Plastic Surgeon whose work appeals to you. Based on your specific measurements and stated goals, they will likely be able to recommend a few, similar breast implant sizes which fit you. My patients find it helpful to try on the implant sizers with a form-fitting T-Shirt in the office, in order to get an idea of how they will look.All the best
It is difficult to recommend how many cc's without having a consultation. We have a Vectra 3D imaging system in office that will show you how you will look with different types of implants and sizes.
The goal of breast augmentation is to create an aesthetic breast with the size, shape, and projection that is desired by the patient. During a breast augmentation consultation, measurements of the breasts are used as a starting point to recommend a breast implant. The decision on size, shape, and position of these implants is based on the patient’s anatomy and the type and size of the implant and patients preferences. Based on your pictures you would need a 400-500ml augmentation to achieve a C or D cup. You may also need a lift to compensate for the nipple ptosis. As you consider a cup size, however, it is important to remember that cups do not represent a specific volume. Cup sizes represent a ratio of chest wall or band circumference to breast circumference (projection). So, all other things being the same, a "C" cup on a larger woman would be a "D" cup (or bigger) on a smaller woman.See the link below for more info.A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical treatment. In office sizing and digital three-dimensional computer simulations can help guide your implant choices. Consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make a recommendation about size of implants without a proper consultation. Many board certified plastic surgeons offer technology that can do 3D simulation breast imaging so patients can view outcomes not only related to their breasts, but to the entire body as well. I recommend discussing these options with your board certified plastic surgeon, who can individualize your treatment plan.
Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidatefor a breast augmentation. A C/D cup size is a reasonable goal for you. The size, profile, and shape of theimplant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wallmeasurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision shouldbe based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both youand your surgeon. This entire surgerycan be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure youspecifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who havehad this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find asurgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with aqualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
Bella, 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!
Although it's very tempting to focus on implant volume (number of cc's), this is actually not the way implants are typically sized. Rather, the more important measurement is the breast width. This dimension is determined first and then used to find the matching volume on a chart provided by the implant manufacturer. Although there is some leeway to slightly increase or decrease the volume for a given breast width, improperly sizing an implant can lead to aesthetic deformities over time requiring additional surgeries. That's not something you want to go through. It's best to let your plastic surgeon advise you what volume is appropriate for you based on your anatomy. If this is not the number you had been thinking of, don't worry, you will still have a breast augmentation from implant placement and fit a larger bra! It's better and safer to do it appropriately based on anatomic dimensions. There's a specific number of cc's that's right for you based on your unique anatomic dimensions.In order to get a qualified, ethical, and expert opinion on your surgical options and expectations, schedule an in-person office consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Best of luck,Keith M.

Thanks for posting your question. There is no perfect correlation between implant volume and final cup size because the volume of your breasts and even the bra you buy will also play a role.
Dear Whitney563, Your body size is quite petite and 400 cc implants would be very large. In addition, such a large implant on you increases the chances of nipple numbness and dropping out. It would be difficult also to center the implant under your nipple without being at risk for sy...
From your picture, it does not appear as though you have tubular breast deformity. You do look like you would be an ideal candidate for breast augmentation if you're looking to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. Make a few consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons in your a...
Its always best to consult with your surgeon after mishaps such as this. If you notice any other symptoms such as swelling, you should make an appointment to follow up with your surgeon.
