Hey, I'm 5'5, I weigh just over 9stone and I'm currently a 32 A if not smaller. I told my surgeon I wanted to be a small D, large C and he suggested 330cc to a max of 360cc high profile silicone implants. Will that be big enough to achieve a D? I'm worried about regretting not going big enough. Thanks!

Answer: Implant Size to Achieve Your Goals There are several factors that plastic surgeons consider when recommending implant sizes. I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:1. Dimensional planning2. Gel Implant Sizing systemDimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. Hope this helps.Dr. BasuHouston, TX

Answer: Will 330/360 cc breast implants make you have a D cup? Of course whether or not breast implants in the 330 cc to 360 cc range will make you a D cup depends on how much breast tissue you have, what cup size you are now, and whether the D cup bra will be the same manufacturer style and shape as your current bra.It is very difficult if not impossible to accurately estimate cup size based on cc of implant. However a general rule is that it takes 200 cc of breast implant to increase you by a cup size in the same bra. Therefore if you're currently an a cup using the same bra you may need as much as 500-600 cc for a D cup breast. However based on your current examination of your breast base width and your chest size it may be impossible to for you to have a breast implant that large.You need an examination by your board certified plastic surgeon which includes a breast implant sizing system evaluation as well as measurements of your breast base width and other measurements. Your surgeon may then refer to the chart to help choose an appropriately sized implant for your body.More information on choosing breast implant size please read the following link:
