A cup to C cup – Will 250cc Silicone Implants Work?

Almost everybody your size wants a C cup. Well, almost everybody – some unique cases come to mind but it’s good to hear that you want a reasonable result. We’ve all done patients your size, lots. This is a very tasteful choice and your plastic surgeon probably wants you to look classy so don’t get too nervous by our blog comments… we’re just blogging and you need to trust a plastic surgeon that examined you. The implant sounds a bit small to me also, but again, I haven’t examined you so he knows best. Another possibility is that you may have since gained a bit of confidence in the idea and now you’re comfortable with a larger implant… that happens often.

You’re an A and you want to be a C. Simple right? Not so. You should visit with your plastic surgeon while there’s still time to resize. Sometimes I’ll get patients to try on sizers in the office to get a feel for the implants she is choosing. She’ll look through the photo album and find someone with her features and we’ll know what implant that patient used. Lastly, a good communication tool is to bring in photos of girls with your figure and your desired breast size. This is just an estimate, you are not using it as a guarantee, but if you show your plastic surgeon a photo of a girl with what he sees as a D and you see as just right, then he’ll be using a different implant.

Think of the comments that you made during your first consultation. Those are very important to me when I’m listening to my patients expectations. If you said “I really want them to look natural on my body” or “I just don’t want them to be noticeable by everyone” or similar comments, then he’s trying to protect you from this social circumstance while still filling your soft tissue envelope according to his physical examination (when he measured you). It is very common to be hesitant on the size you’re picking and impossible for someone on this blog to tell you what size you should be using.

It’s nice to hear that you’ve selected silicone, I think that’s a good bet since your breasts will be more implant material than breast tissue so you want it to feel as natural as possible.

Best wishes on your augmentation, you’re probably going to look great with whichever implant you choose. In general, patients with your build are the easiest augmentations to get a result that looks smashing.
