Yet another cc question

I like the look of girls (with similar stats) who started with nothing AAA/AA and got between 450-550 cc's. I wear a B cup, but all my PS tell me I am a C cup. How would I figure out how many cc's I am starting with? I know tissue is quite different from silicone/saline.

I don't want to be a certain bra size. I want the look of Carmen Electra. I keep seeing girls who wear a D, but look like a B naked. I don't care what size my bra is, but I want full round boobies. I don't want to go too big as I am in the Air Force and have to run and do sit ups/push ups daily.

My case is a little different as I have a Pectus Excavatum. The circumference of my breast is 11" (including the dent). My shoulder width is 15" ribcage is 29 and my BWD is 12. I am getting 345 cc HP silicone overs (all my PS recommended overs for my case American and German) 4.9 projection with 12 cm width. I am also getting a Benelli lift (my boobs are a little cone shaped).

Do you know of a way to guesstimate how many cc's I am starting out with? Most girls with my stats are not starting with as much breast tissue or any real breast tissue for me to compare pictures. I know it is impossible for you to recommend cc amount without an examination. With the information I have provided, is it possible for you to tell me if I am in the right ball park with my implant profile/cc's?

It is really hard to know what will work well for you without examining you and, unfortunately, there really is no way to know how many CC you start out with. However, if your breast width is 11cm, then you should n't go much bigger then that in terms of width of implant. A 375cc HP is about 12.2cm wide. This may be too large for you. The 350cc range is probably the correct size. Remember, CC do not correspond to a cup size. everyone is different, so it is hard to say that the 345cc will make you a C/D/DD, etc. You can have two identical twins, same breasts, and undergo an augmentation with the same implants. Afterwards, one says they are a C, the other a D. Why? Because bra measurements are not an objective measurement, and they are all different. Based on your height and dimensions, this should be a good size for you.
