How Many Cc's Do I Need to Be a C-cup? (photo)

Thank you for the question and picture.  Overall, you have achieved an  aesthetically pleasing result after breast augmentation/lifting surgery.

Nevertheless, I'm sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction after the  procedure. This situation demonstrates the importance of pre-operative communication when it comes to  conveying patient's goals in regards to breast size desired.  The use of words such as “conservative” and “nothing fake/porn” can mean different things for different people, just like “a cup size bigger” can be subjective. As you know, breast cup sizes will vary from one from manufacturer to another.

 At this point, I would suggest that you  continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon and convey your questions/ concerns in a calm and constructive manner. If you are contemplating revisionary breast surgery ( to increase breast size) you'd be best off waiting anywhere from 6 months to one year after the initial operation.

 If so, communicate  your goals clearly;  I prefer the use of goal pictures  to help with this communication process. In my practice, the selection of breast implant size/profile is made intraoperatively,  after the use of  intra-operative  temporary sizers  allow for direct comparison of the patient's breasts on the operating room table with her goal pictures.

 I hope this helps.

From your photos, it appears that you are in the range of a C cup. And for reference, a 38B is the same as a 36C so that you likely are in the range you requested. You should not judge your surgical results by the size of your bra, rather how you look in the mirror and if that was your ultimate goal. Bra sizing is no where near an exact or consistent science. 

Best of luck,

I always recommend one or two sizes higher than your chosen. So 325 or 350 cc high profile would be my recommendation to answer your question very directly.
