im a 32aa-32a very little tissue. i model so im very tall and thin. im 5'9 and 118lbs. everyone keeps telling me that once they go under the muscle i lose cc's. The doctor suggested 350-375 for a full C but idk if that will be enough. What do u think?
Answer: Breast Implant Sizing
In general about every 150cc puts you up on size. However, this really depends on the patient's anatomy and existing breast tissues which can only be determined during your consultation. So, the 375 might make you larger than a C cup if that is what you are looking for. In addition to the volume or size, you also need to consider projection and also shape of the implant. In my office, we use the VECTRA XT 3D imaging system to help patients choose their implant size, shape and projection.
Good Luck.

Answer: Breast Implant Size One of the most important decisions facing breast augmentation patients is the size of the breast implants that will be used. Most patients are striving for harmony, balance and proportion with the surrounding anatomic structures. Typically, they want a natural look with some fullness in the upper breast area.Most patients tend to speak in terms of cup size. Unfortunately, cup size isn't always helpful because manufacturers of bras label their products differently and women don't always wear their bras the same way. In other words, some women wear them snugly while others wear them loosely. This creates communication problems when talking cup size. It's virtually impossible to translate cup size into ccs for this reason.In an effort to determine cup size in a more objective manner, we utilize external silicone sizers and the 3D Vectra computer imaging system. External silicone sizers are designed to sit on top of the patient's breasts. They can be held against the patient's chest or placed inside the patient's bra. This technique helps the patient visualize what their breasts will look like with a specific sized implant. It also gives them a sense of the volume that will sit on their chest wall and how it feels.The 3D Vectra imaging system is a relatively new technology that we've found to be extremely helpful for determining breast implant size. This system allows a patient to visualize different sized implants on their actual body. Patients find this to be extremely helpful.The ability to visualize your projected result alleviates much of the anxiety associated with this procedure. The use of external sizers and the 3D Vectra system accomplish this goal. It's important to remember that final adjustments in the size of breast implants will ultimately be made in the operating room depending upon anatomic factors.

Answer: Don't rely on cup size 350-375 sounds fair for your body. Don't rely on cup size alone, though, since it varies by manufacturer. Try on some sizers to see what you think looks good instead of referring to cup size.

Answer: Will 375cc silicone unders give a 'C' cup from 32'A'? Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: Breast implant size Breast cup size is somewhat subjective, in fact VERY subjective. But given your goals, I think that 375 is a good choice.

Answer: Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me?
Thank you for the question and picture.
As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery 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're 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. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C 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.
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.
I hope this helps.
