I Want As Natural Looking C As Possible, Will 275-300cc Moderate Plus Memory Gel Get Me There? (photo)

Thanks for adding photos, especially the goal photo. Since breast base measurements are different for each measuring surgeon (there are no "sharp" beginnings and ends of breast diameters, and what you are really measuring is the anticipated pocket diameter, to give the best appearance), I'd not worry too much about your BWD being too narrow for moderate plus implants.

I might even consider moderate profile 300cc implants (12.6cm diameter) if your actual pocket dimensions allow this--the widest implant will give the best cleavage and the most natural look.

As to volume (size choice), 275cc and 300cc are indistinguishable in your body, since they are less than 2 tablespoons different! Adding 300cc should add just over 1 bra cup size to whatever size you wear now, and should come close to the goal you have chosen.

Since the most common reason for re-operation is "too small," consider 300cc to be the better choice and ask your surgeon to use the widest profile possible that "fits" your pockets without binding or folding of the implant shell. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Advising you on how many cc's you'll need from your photo as well as dimensions would be great to do online, but better advice can be given in person.  If you're concerned that you'll be too large after surgery, I would recommend placing different size implants underneath your bra to get an idea of how you'll look after surgery.  Also, cup sizes vary from store to store so you can be a D cup in one store's bra and a C cup in another.  If you'd rather be too small than too large, I would advise going with an implant on the smaller end of the spectrum of sizes that you're considering.  Good luck!  Dr. Schreiber, Baltimore plastic surgeon

At size 32 A each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.  You would require 200 cc implants to obtain a C.  I always recommend 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.

Lettering of cup sizes is not an exact science. It is highly subjective. In my practice, if a woman with an "A" cup comes in requesting a "solid C" I would probably offer her an implant around 375 to 400cc. Hope that helps.

I think you and your doctor have chosen a fine implant size! Both sizes great. Good Luck.
