I Am a Small 34c. What Would I Be if I Had 250cc or 300cc Added?

One of the most important decisions facing breast
augmentation patients is the size of 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 their bras snugly while others wear
them loosely. For this reason, there’s no correlation between cup size and the
implant volume which is measured in ccs.

A 250cc to 300cc increase in breast volume would
probably add one full cup size but this is always subject to interpretation.
For this reason it’s important to thoroughly discuss this issue with your
plastic surgeon. The use of external silicone sizers and the 3d Vectra computer
system might also be helpful. These systems can help patients visualize
projected increases in breast size.

Our experience is somewhat different than your
boyfriend’s experience. The vast majority of patients feel that silicone
implants feel more natural than saline implants in our experience.

If you’re considering breast augmentation consultation with a board
certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. This surgeon should be able to help
you determine what sized implant will accomplish your
aesthetic goals. 

It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon.  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” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.
I use  intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is “I wish I was bigger”.
I hope this helps.

You will probably be a D cup.

It is very easy to be confused by this measuring system. Cup sizes are only used as estimates for clothing. Although the measuring technique for determining cup size is precise, the results of these measurements are not. Let me give you an example; weight is a very accurate measurement. However two patients that weigh 120 lbs are not likely to look alike. The same is true with two patients that have C cup breasts. This is why physicians tend to use volume (cubic centimeters or cc) as a more accurate measurement. Note: If you are trying to figure out what breast implant size you want to obtain, you can try the szing tool available through b4bra.com or read the articles about measuring there.

Size is a complex decision that is not only based upon your height, weight and current cup/bra size but ALSO on also on your breast diameter, waist, shoulder, and skin envelope measurements. These can only be assessed in person during a consultation. A good place to start is using my "Find your perfect size" tool listed in the left hand column of my bodysculptor.com home page. Another good place to look is the searchable database section of the physicians' photos on implantinfo.com. Best of luck.
