I'm an A cup, are 200cc enough for me to get a full B cup? (Photos)

Thank you very much for your question and
photographs. From your pictures, it does appear that you would dramatically
benefit from a breast augmentation procedure. This will leave you with a
contoured chest that is more proportionate to your physical shape. A 200cc implant
should take you up by one cup size. However, remember that it is difficult to
say what cup size you will be after receiving implants. Cup size is relevant
only to the bra brand or manufacturer, and may vary from store to store. Choose
an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation.
This will ensure the safest and most satisfying results possible. He/she should
have breast implant sizers available for you to try on, which will help you get
a visualization of your potential results with a 200cc implant.

Thanks for your question. The best way to determine the size of the breast implant
you should go with is to book an in-person consultation with a highly
qualified, board certified plastic surgeon. Because many surgeons and clinics (like ours) give
patients the option of trying on sizers as well as provide digital imaging
during their consultation, patients can get a better idea of what type of results different
volumes will achieve for them. Best of luck to you!
 

Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
First I want to congratulate you for making this important decision. Deciding to get an aesthetic procedure to change your body and get a new life style is a big step!

Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get a breast augmentation with implants. The size of the implant will depend of what you want and what your body support; the results of this procedure are beautiful, giving you and excellent shape of the inner and outer pole of the breast. 

Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. For us your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!

Thank you for the question and helpful pictures.  Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Ultimately, careful selection of plastic surgeon and  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, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.  
 Make sure you carefully consider,  the short and long-term pros/cons associated with breast augmentation done in the sub muscular versus sub glandular position. You will find a lot of information regarding this topic on this website.
I think it is in the best interests of most patients seeking breast augmentation surgery to have implants placed in the “dual plane” or sub muscular position.  This positioning allows for more complete coverage of the breast implants leading to generally more natural feel/look  of the implants in the long-term. This position will also decrease the potential for rippling and/or palpability  of the implants (which may increase with time, weight loss, and/or post-pregnancy changes). The submuscular positioning  also tends to interfere with mammography less so than breast implants in the sub glandular position. The incidence of breast implant encapsulation (capsular  contraction)  is also decreased with implants placed in the sub muscular position. 
On the other hand,  sub glandular breast implant positioning does not have the potential downside of “animation deformity” ( movement/ distortion of the breast implants  seen with flexion of the  pectoralis major muscle)  they can be seen with breast implants placed in these sub muscular position. 
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 "full B 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. 

Hello.  There are a number of factors that determine the final outcome of any breast augmentation. First, your specific chest/breast dimensions - it is vital the implant fits your specific anatomy. Next, size can be roughly estimated as 150-200cc per cup size, however this is a very nonspecific guide. Finally, the shape (round v. anatomically shaped) and the profile of the implant must take in to account your desired goal in conjunction with your anatomic measurements.
With this being said, it appears a 200 cc implant will very likely get you close to your final outcome. In my practice, after the examination is performed and measurements are completed, I use a 3D imaging device (Vectra) which allows simulation of how different size / shape / profile implants will look in your breasts. This has been quite helpful to my patients in visualizing their outcome with a chosen implant. This could be helpful for you prior to your surgery if you are unsure of your outcome. I find this to be much more specific than simply trying on an implant in your bra. 
Best of luck in your journey!

Hello
Breast implant sizing is a tricky  issue particularly when only pics are available. A large number of factors and measurements are important in deciding the eventual size. I feel you may get 225or 240 cc HP implant in , it should not be a problem. Still i will go with your chosen Doctor in planning the procedure
