I recently had a consultation. My L breast BWD is 11.5in and R breast is 12in. My surgeon recommended 275cc as the biggest I can go in moderate plus (11.7in width). I would have to go up to high profile for anything bigger. Will I be able to achieve my "wish pic" with 275cc or do I have to go bigger? Will high profile start making it look unnatural? Also, how many cc's would be a cup size with my measurements (I've heard anything from 100-200cc)?
Answer: How to get a C cup based on breast width measurements Using the algorithm proposed by Dr John Tebbetts and published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in December, 2005, a C cup with a normal to narrow frame should be achieved by woman with a breast width of 11.5. Inspira Allergan gel implants at 11.5 cm base width is 275. One can generally push this 25 cc or so, so if wanting to go bigger you could go to 300. 300 is usually a small C in a bra size 34. Should be a moderately full C if true band is 32. But NOT in a Victoria's Secrets bra, Their sizing does not match the standard of under bra dimension in inches plus four inches. They are bigger for a given band by one cup size for some reason. Regarding high profile, they do give the larger volume in a smaller base width, but the upper pole comes off at a steeper angle from the upper chest which is not natural, if that would bother you. A base width of 11.5 -12 could accommodate an Inspira Allergan implant of up to 365 which would probably look more like your wish pick. Going to the plastic surgeon's office and trying on these sizes in a 32 C and D bra would give you the most accurate answer, and that is what I do in addition to all the sizing to generate a range of possibilities.

Answer: Size Go back to your surgeon and try on the size so you can get an idea about what volume you can achieve.

Answer: 32/24A, 5'3'', 130lb, 12in BWD. Will 275cc moderate plus be adequate to get to a 32C? Hello, Thank you for the question and the photos. Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on patient’s desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions of your chest wall. I also utilize Vectra 3D planning to further help with implant selection. Based on your photos and tissue dimensions, 275-325cc range size implant will likely give you a nice natural-looking cleavage that you desire. One cup size is typically considered to be around 150cc but cup sizes vary significantly between various bra brands. I would seek an in-person evaluation by the plastic surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Size and Profile Selection Good afternoon, I am on Mentor's LEAD Advisory Board, and I perform over 500 augmentations a year using Mentor implants. You need to consider larger implants- perhaps 325cc HP? I would have to measure you myself to give you an exact answer but that's my best guess based on your photos. 275cc MPP implants are not going to give you your goal look- not the size and not the shape.

Answer: 32/24A, 5'3'', 130lb, 12in BWD. Will 275cc moderate plus be adequate to get to a 32C? Thank you for your question. For every 100 cc of implant, the cup size will change by one. Getting 200cc implants would take you from an A to a smaller C. Your breasts are on or near the chest wall and the nipple-areola complex is pointing outward. My recommendation for you is a mini-lift procedure. Best Wishes.
