I am currently a 36B (could probably wear a 34B), 135 pounds (recently 141 after working out for the last couple weeks), 5 foot 6. I am hoping for a 36DD. After looking online it seems that the doctor that I was hoping to use doesn't go over 400cc. Hoping that some doctors can reassure me that I won't have to travel out of province (Ontario) or country (Canada) to achieve what I am looking for. Also, any information would be wonderful. Thanks :)

Answer: 36B, Wants to Be 36DD This may help you better understand implant sizing. Usually if a woman wears a #size 36 AB bra and would like to be a C cup, which is the average size that women wear and the average size bra that is sold, she needs a volume of approximately 350 to 390 cc to make that change. This becomes less if she's wearing a 34 bra, because it has a smaller strap size and the cups have a smaller diameter. A smaller diameter implant would then be a volume of approximately 300 to 350 cc. In the same way if she was more petite, maybe a double zero or size one and wore a 32 AB bra, then to become a 32C cup she would only require about 250 to 300 cc. This is a general number, and of course there are other factors that will affect this. Other factors which contribute to the outcome are size, shape, and profile. The #profile is determined by the amount of #projection versus roundness that the you desire, as well as the #size of the implant and size of your chest. Also, the #placement or #incision location will also have an effect on profile. Another element to a satisfying result of your #augmentation is realistic #expectations.Talk to your surgeon at greater length and be sure to view before and after pictures and reviews beforehand to gain more reassurance of the procedure.

Answer: Implant sizing Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. The implant sizes/projections which fit you the best will depend on your specific measurements and existing tissue. My patients find it helpful to try on the implant sizers with a form fitting top in order to get an idea of what they will look like. I recommend that you make your choice based on the look you like best for yourself and your Plastic Surgeon's recommendations, rather than targeting a particular cup size. There is no standard for bra sizing and you may find that your measurements vary.Be sure to seek a board certified plastic Surgeon.All the best
