Can I trust that 350cc implants will give me a C cup (D at the very very most)?

Preoperative photos and measurements of your chest and breasts would help to answer your question more accurately. Since cup size is a ratio of breast volume to chest circumference it is tough to estimate exact post-operative bra sizes. Another confounding factor is that there is no standardization of this ratio by bra manufacturers.However, a very rough estimate is that it usually takes about 150cc to make a change in cup size in a 32 or 34 circumference chest. Therefore if you are already a small 34 C, adding 350 will likely increase you a bit more than 2 cup sizes, likely making you a full D to DD . This being said, the final bra size should not be your final goal, but a shape and volume that is proportionate to your body type. This is where the measurements come in to discuss with you the range of implants are best for you and more specifically which implant in that range will give you your desired result. One tool I find helpful is Vectra 3D imaging, where I can virtually implant the different sizes and styles of implants and see a 3D image of your chest morph into a pretty accurate representation of your final result with some limitations of course.Hope this helps and best of luck.

What
implant size should I chose is a very commonly asked question and of course
very important. In general, size is best
be determined during an in person consultation.
The factors included in this determination can be chest size, amount of
breast tissue initially present, skin elasticity, and of course, a patient’s
expectations.I
will say that in general, one year post op, when women are asked if they like
their size, do they wish they went larger or smaller, more than 50% of women
will wish they went bigger. Just keep
this in mind.In general each 150-200 cc will bring you up one cup size.

Patients often want a specific correlation between implant size and cup size, but the definition of "cup size" varies widely from person to person and bra to bra.There are many factors that determine your ultimate shape and size post augmentation. Based on your description your surgeon's implant selection seems reasonable. Be candid about your concerns when you meet again and ask to see before and after photos of patients that are similar in size and shape as yourself. Best of luck.

I think you are on good footing. A 350cc implant seems to be a wise choice to deliver on your expectations. I will note, however, that I prefer the Sientra 355cc highly cohesive round gel implant, a Gummy Bear implant. I've been in practice for fifteen years and place between 300-500 implants annually. In my experience, the Sientra implant offers the best appearance (especially if the desired look is natural), the lowest complication profile, and, most recently, a warranty. On a final note - see your surgeon if you have any questions. Avoid the freak out! At Stillwater, we make it a practice of being available before surgery so that patients are comfortable and secure throughout the entire process. No surprises!

Izabela:It's hard to tell without the benefit of exam or pictures but from what you describe, I would expect 350 cc to take you to a "solid C". Does your surgeon have sizers? Although not exactly the same, a sizing appointment with your surgeon or staff can be very helpful in determining implant sizing.Good luck to you!
