I was told by my doctor that I am a full C and I would need to go up 200cc to go up 1 cup size. But 645cc or even 600cc sounds like a lot though. I am 5'5" and weigh 140lbs.

Answer: Implant size and type Dear user9702, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Going Larger It really depends on the person and there is no real formula to going bigger and how much is needed to go bigger. In some patient 180cc is what is needed to go up one cup size and other it may be two. It also depends on where you get sized. I would not dwell on cup size at this point. There is obviously a look you are after and photos of what you want to look like would help best. In addition, sizing in the office would also help. I would also want to know what profile implants you have as it sounds like you have Natrelle/Allergan. I would also make certain you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon. Hope that helps.
