More measurements would be required to determine how many ccs would be recommended. In addition, cup sizes aren’t standardized. It would be a good idea to bring in a bra in the cup size you’d like to be and try on sizers at your surgeon's office. Sizers are implants that you can fit into your bra.
At size 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. Unfortunately, you have not provided photos. However, if you are needing a lift at the same time, it is possible that you may benefit from The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Determining the exact number of cubic centimeters (cc) needed to go from a 34C to a 34D with a breast lift and implant is a highly individualized decision. Several factors, including your existing breast tissue, chest dimensions, and personal preferences, will influence the recommended implant size.During a consultation with a plastic surgeon, they will assess your specific anatomy, discuss your goals, and consider your desired outcome.
For one cup increase in size, you will need 150 to 200 cc's if you are a true C cup. During your consultation, you can try on a range of sizes and see what you actually like.
Assessment of breast size is highly subjective, and I typically avoid using cup size when communicating desired breast outcome.Implant decisions should be made with your surgeon.Each provider will have their own way of guiding patients through implant selection.Different providers will approach this differently.Some providers will ask patients to Make the final decision while other providers will make the decision based on input from the patient.My personal preference is to work with a lot of before and after pictures to get a clear understanding of what the patient desires Esther final outcome.Once I have a clear understanding of what the patient is, hoping to achieve by reviewing numerous before, and after pictures of previous patients, who are very similar body characteristics, I bring those pictures to the operating room. During surgery I use temporary sizes to determine what size implants will create an outcome consistent with with the patients ideal outcome.I find this to be the most consistent and accurate.Some providers prefer to have patients make the final decision which puts the responsibility in the hands of the patient rather than the provider.In my opinion to provider is in a better position to make the decision, since they are working within their profession, and have far more experience with implant Sizing, then patients typically do.I typically do not like communicating using milliliters cup sizes or inches, but prefer to work with pictures.If you’ve selected a plastic surgeon that I suggest discussing this topic with him or her.If you’ve not selected a provider, I suggest scheduling multiple in person, consultations with plastic surgeons in your community who seem to have a lot of experience with breast augmentation surgery.Ask each provider how they go about making implant decisions.During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you the entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics to your own.An experienced provider should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Being shown a handful of pre-selected images, representing only the best results of a providers career may be insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider, what your results are likely to look like, or how many of these procedures they’ve actually performed. There are generally three variables that determine quality breast augmentation outcomes.The first is the patient’s candidacy for the procedure. Not all women are ideal candidates for breast, augmentation surgery so results will vary based on candidacy.The second variable is the choice of implants in regards to size, shape and type.The third variable is the surgeons ability to technically placed the implant in the correct anatomic location.Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
It may be too large to drop because of lack of room, or your inferior-lateral pocket is still tight and not letting it move. Try oral Accolate and external ultrasound treatments to see if you can get it to drop.
I have found the best way a patient can evaluate and choose implant size is trying on implants sizers in my office with a camisole top that has a elastic self. If you don't have access to implant sizers you can measure out the cc's you are considering, using rice in a measuring cup, and place it...
Usually you are quite well healed after about six weeks and ready to enjoy your new results. Swimming and other activities are usually okay, but you absolutely have to get the go-ahead from your plastic surgeon.
