How Many Cc to Get a Big C or Small D? (photo)

Hello Oklahomajade,

You will not do well without a breast lift in addition to breast augmentation.  Breast implants will not make your current breast just look bigger, it will also distort your current breast shape into something less pleasing.  Additionally, breast implants over the muscle do not last (stay put) over time, and in someone like you will take on the appearance of 'ball in sock'.  

You need to visit surgeons that are expert in breast lifts, reductions, and revisions.

Best of luck!

Implant dimensions more important than size.  Your breast base width minus skin thickness, with amount of breast gland and skin elasticity factored in are all important considerations in selecting implant dimensional parameters.  Of course, your desired final size is also most important, but along with pre-surgical breast size chiefly influences profile (projection) you choose, not width.  The combination of width and projection determine implant volume... Along with implant manufacturer and implant shape/style.

You need a simultaneous augmentation plus a vertical lift.  This is called a vertical augmentation/mastopexy.  Your breasts are saggy and will not look ideal with implants alone, particularly on the left side.  Implants really don't take up the slack the way you might think they would.  Plus your areolae need to be reduced anyway (so the lollipop scar is not necessarily a negative).  Your areolae will look even bigger if you just have implants without a lift.  Also, your asymmetry cannot be corrected without a lift.  The vertical technique is best.  Check out this section of my website.  I've attached a link.  Also, your implant size done at the time of a lift should be in the 400-450 cc range.  Saline is fine, but you can have silicone if you prefer.
