Hi! My surgery is in 10 days, and i'm still not sure about what size to pick. I have large c-cup breasts now after a breast lift. My goal is to get a DD-cup. My doctor suggested 400cc. does that seem right? to much or to little? i'm 1,67m tall and i weigh about 72kg/152pounds.. also, does the breast sag very much with the years with implants? im having my implants over the muscle. thank you for your answer. best regards from norway!

Answer: Can I get from a natural large c-cup to a dd-cup with 400cc ? Thank you for the question. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. Online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical. Given that your your surgery is coming up soon, I would suggest that you spend more time communicating your goals and concerns with your plastic surgeon, preferably prior to the day of surgery. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) 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 are 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. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "DD 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. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice. 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, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers. I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: Natural C -cup to DD cup with 400cc? Hi, 400cc implants will result in a significant increase in breast size for most patients but it is hard to predict an exact final bra size with a given implant. The final size also depends on your pre-existing breast volume and shape, and the type of bra you choose.
