Breast Implant Size to Achieve Full D Cup?

November 6, 2009
Asked By:jwhit in California

I'm having round smooth saline breast implants placed in 2 weeks and am confused on size. I am 5'4" 130 lbs and currently have 36 B breast. I was 36 C prior to children. My shoulders are wide at 18" and breast diameter 14 cm. I want to go to a full D cup and thought 450 cc would accomplish it (under the muscle). I liked the 400 cc sizers. My doctor said he may have to use 500cc and I'm concerned that it will be too large and weigh my breasts down too much. I currently do not need a lift. On the other hand, I don't want to go too small and be unhappy.
