Will 600 cc take me from a 36A to 36DD? (Photo)

There is unfortunately no math equation that takes into account your statistics and can tabulate the perfect amount of cc'd to get you to your goal cup size. The "about 200cc per cup size" is very generalized and I do not think it scales. What I mean by this is that it may take 150-200cc to get from an A to B cup, even C to D. However, it certainly always takes more that 200cc (in my experience) to get from a D to DD cup. Best to try implants on in a soft bra under your clothes and see what you think. Keep in mind that whatever you try on in clothes will looks just a little smaller once underneath your breast tissue. 

Dear Ms. Lalizzlecute,Thank you for your story, question and photos.yo appear to have some breast  shape and size asymmetry.Unfortunately without a examination and measurements I can advise you in general terms, however I hope you will find them helpful.Breast appearance, size, filler material , shape and implant location is a personal choice guided by the experience of your Plastic Surgeon. Your SPECFIC breast anatomy will dictate some of your choices.As far as size you know all bras are not equal in "cup size" measurements."Cup size" is a very crude and non standardized measurement and varies by bra manufacturers. Thus actual cup size you eventually are measured at is not as important as your body proportions as it relates to your desired breast size My specific responses are:1)sizing:A)Realizing there are no standard bra (strap/cup) sizes, purchase several bras (full bodied and no padding) of the strap and cup size you think you want to be. B)take a measuring cup (1 oz=30cc) place rice in a nylon. Therefore 10 oz. = 300cc...C) try on various volumes of rice with some form fitting clothes.D)if implant is placed under the pectoralis muscle I usually add 10% volume to what the patient chooses.... To compensate for the muscle pressing down on the muscle and for the naturally settleing of the implant which often makes the breast appear smaller 2-3 months after surgery.2) profile of implant:A) for the same volume the higher the profile the narrower the base width.B)there is very little difference in projection between a moderate to high profile implantthus little affect on how the actual nipple will look.C) the base width of the breast should equal the base width of the implant D)thus I personally chose the profile based on the patients chest measurements, (a high profile on a wide chest may not result in the cleavage desired and conversely a low profile on a narrow chest may result in implant in the outside armarea)E)Cleavage is largely determined by your anatomy. This can be optimized by choosing the best profile implant and postoperative implant displacement excercises towards the midline of your chest.3)Shape of the implant:A) for the vast majority of cosmetic patients I recommend round implantsB) reconstructive patients shaped/form stable implants are often used4)Placement decision of implant(subpectoral, dual plane, or suprapectoral) will be determined based on your anatomy and long term goals and benefits.5)Filler MaterialA) silicone gel feels more like breast tissue, less potential rippling, comes prefilled cannot adjust size intraoperatively and larger incisions to place compared to equal sized (non prefilled) normal saline implants.B) normal saline implants can be adjusted in size intraoperatively, if ruptures normal saline absorbs, potential increase rippling compared to silicone gel, smaller incision to place normal saline implants as compared to prefilled silicone gel implants.6)Incision (access) sitesA) axillary B) areolaeC) inframammarry foldD) umbilical (normal saline implants only)I suggest you collect several nude model photos of the goal breast shape you desire and schedule several consultative appointments with Plastic Surgeons who are experienced and is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes,R.

Hello,There is no way to accurately predict cup size unfortunately- bra manufacturers do not have a common standard for cup sizes. Different factors such as your ribcage measurements will affect how you fit bras. The difference between 650 and 700 is not huge. I recommend that you find out from your Plastic Surgeon if both sizes are an option for you and then try the implant sizers on to see which you like the best.Take care
