Hello, I'm 5'4, 115 llbs and had communicated to my doctor that I wanted to become a full C/just barely D. He suggested that I could go anywhere in the range of 375-425CCs. When I tried the trainer bra, with 375 I felt amazing. They didn't have the 400 CC cup on hand, so I tried on a smaller sizer onto of it. I felt a little ridiculous, but obviously my husband is rooting for the bigger size. What's your insight based on your experience?
Answer: Implant sizing Get a couple ziplock bags and fill them with 400 cc of water or rice. Can then wear in your bra for a day and see which size you prefer more. (Can use common kitchen measuring tools)

Answer: How to Choose Between Breast Implant Sizes The 25 cc's difference is less than a shot glass or 2 tablespoons of volume (30 cc's each case) so not much difference. It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the below link.

Answer: Sizing is critical Picking the right size is a very important decision. The only way the right size can be determined is by an honest and thorough discussion between you and your PS, so he can tell you what your options are based on your anatomy and you can tell him your wishes in tems of look and size. Trying on sizer implants is an excellent way to do this. In my office we often have people come back for a second sizer trial. Talk with your PS and see if you can borrow the sizers and go out to lunch. See which size looks and feels best to you. You are doing the right thing thinking about this carefully before surgery, and I expect you will have a fantastic result. Best,Jeremiah Redstone MD

Answer: 5'4, 115 lbs - 375cc or 400cc? Thank you for your question. Choosing an implant size is an exciting part of the breast augmentation procedure, but also difficult because of the sheer number of choices. Though surgeons can't promise a particular cup size with surgery, trying on the implants is a great method to identify the right cc size for you. Depending on your frame, and the profile and style of implant, 25cc can make a difference in how you perceive yourself in and out of clothing. Be sure to communicate your desired appearance with your surgeon, they can help guide you, and can provide reassurance that the 375cc implant that you liked will get you to your goal outcome.

Answer: 5'4, 115 lbs - 375cc or 400cc? Thank you for the question. Depending on a specific woman's anatomy and goals ( in regards to outcome achieved with breast augmentation surgery), 25 cc may or may not make a “big difference”. For example, for a petite patient striving to achieve a relatively “modest” outcome, 25 cc of a larger volume implant may be noticeable.Given your questions/concerns, I would suggest that you spend additional time communicating your goals with your plastic surgeon, preferably prior to the day of surgery. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant type/size/profile selection) is:
