I'm 5'7", 140 pounds, and I wear a 34B bra. Will 339cc implants give me a full C cup?

At
size 34 B each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.339 cc implants will take you up 3 cup sizes
to size DD.I always recommend small
round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and
feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications
needing revision.Implant profile is
irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question. The choice of implant size is one of the most anxiety producing aspects of breast augmentation. There is no exact formula to determine a postoperative cup size based on implant volume used. As a rule of thumb, roughly 200 mL equates to an increase in cup size by one size. However, this is not always the case.There is no standardization of cup size among bra manufacturers. In addition, all women wear their bras in different ways. This makes it difficult to promise of postoperative cup size exactly. A three dimensional approach to implant selection typically gives a natural and consistent result. The width of the implant needs to match the with of your breast and chest. The projection can then be selected based on the look that you're hoping to obtain.Without examining you, I would suspect that the 339 cc implant would bring you into the c cup range. However c cups can range greatly, with a significant difference between a small C and a full C present. If you are at all concerned with your implant selection, I would suggest discussing this thoroughly with your plastic surgeon prior to your presentation.  In my Albany New York practice, I use a sizing system that allows patients to get an idea of what the result will look like. Your surgeon may have something comparable.

As the other docs have stated pictures are really needed. Implants now have different profiles so just a number not enough. Please seek out several consultations with board certified plastic surgeons. 

Thank you for your question. However it is difficult to answer your question without any photos and measurements. Based on the information you have provided, a native B cup breasts will certainly go up to a full C cup with your mentioned implants. 

Thank you for your question. It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill
