When 750cc still feels small: breast implant size for tall women

The real worry usually isn’t "what size should I get?" It’s quieter than that. You tried the sizers, you saw the number, and you still can’t picture how any of this is going to look on your body.

The search moment

I had the consult. I tried the sizers. And now I’m lying awake scared I’m about to pick the wrong size.

What makes her so easy to relate to: she’s tall, she already has implants, breastfeeding changed things, she cares how clothes fit, and the sizers just aren’t clicking for her. If any of that is you, keep reading.

From Reddit

Here is what the original post actually said.

The decision

"I am torn on 750 cc mod + or 930 hp"

That’s the whole 2am spiral in one sentence. Two numbers, two profiles, and no real way to picture how either one lands on you.

The body-frame question

"I think I have boob blindness"

You’ve been staring at sizes for so long that your eye has adjusted, and now you don’t trust your own gut anymore. It happens to almost everyone here.

The real goal

"I mainly want to look great in clothes"

And that’s a completely valid way to choose. Some women are picturing how they’ll look undressed. You’re picturing how dresses, tanks, and a swimsuit will sit. Both are real goals.

A CC is a measurement, not a preview

Implants get measured in cubic centimeters, or CCs. Think of it as the volume of fluid the implant holds, like the milliliters on a measuring cup. Your body isn’t measured that way, though. The same number can read totally different on a tall frame, a narrow rib cage, a wide chest, on skin that’s softer after breastfeeding, or when you already have implants in place.

So no wonder a single number sends you searching at midnight. It can be exact and still tell you almost nothing about how it’ll actually look on you.

And here’s the honest part most size guides skip. Going very large isn’t free. Bigger, heavier implants can thin out your own breast tissue over time, which can leave you able to feel or see rippling (little ripples in the implant showing through the skin). They can speed up sagging. And over the years the weight can stretch the lower part of the breast so the implant drops too low, something surgeons call "bottoming out." None of this means don’t go big. It just means go in with your eyes open.

A better way to frame it

Instead of "is 750cc big?", try asking "what does 750cc look like on someone my height, with my starting size, my chest width, and my goals for clothes?" That’s the question that actually helps.

If you’re tall, you probably need a different reference photo

Here’s the thing nobody tells you. A longer torso carries volume differently. A size that sounds huge on paper can look totally balanced on you, or it can still read dramatic. Which is exactly why the photos you compare yourself to matter more than the number ever will.

Most guides are answering for the average frame. Your question is more personal than that. You want to know if it’ll look proportional on you.

Profile matters, because width matters

Notice she wasn’t only weighing 750cc against 930cc. She was also weighing moderate plus against high profile. Profile is just how the same volume gets shaped, more width and a softer slope, or more projection straight out front. Same CCs, different look.

This one really is a conversation for your surgeon. Your breast width, how thick your tissue is, how much your skin will stretch, and the implants you already have all change what’s actually a good idea for you.

Try it on in your real clothes before you decide

She said she wanted her clothes to still fall nicely. That’s not vain. It’s honestly one of the smartest ways to choose, because clothes are where you’ll live with this every day.

So bring the tops you actually wear. Try the sizers in a fitted tank, a loose tee, a dress, a swimsuit top. A size can feel thrilling in a stretchy clinic bra and just wrong the second you’re back in your own closet.

Bring this to the consult

Ask your surgeon these, instead of asking strangers to pick a number

This isn’t about making your consult more complicated. It’s about getting your surgeon to translate that number into your actual life and body.

Can you show me results on patients close to my height, weight, starting volume, and chest width?

How would 750cc moderate plus look different from 930cc high profile on my frame?

What is the largest size you think is safe for my tissue and why?

Will either option make clothes harder to fit, or change how natural the upper pole looks?

Because I already have implants, what changes about the pocket, skin, and revision plan?

If I am afraid of going too small, what signs would tell you I am actually choosing too large?

Bring this to the consult

When you compare results, start with the body, not the number

A good before-and-after scroll should leave you calmer, not more spun out. Start with bodies and goals like yours before you let the CCs take over.

Look for women close to your height and torso length.

Compare where they started, not just the final cup size.

Read the notes for implant volume, profile, placement, and whether it was a revision.

If clothes are your goal, pay attention to the photos in clothes.

Save the ones that feel too small, too big, and just right. That contrast tells your surgeon your taste faster than words can.

Quick answers

The questions that usually come next

Is 750cc considered a large breast implant?

It’s on the larger side, yes. But "large" really depends on your body. Your height, chest width, the tissue you’re starting with, your skin, and the profile all change how 750cc actually reads on you.

Can tall women go bigger without looking overdone?

Sometimes, yes. But your height alone doesn’t decide it. Your surgeon still has to weigh your breast width, tissue quality, how much your skin will stretch, where the implant sits, and what you’re actually going for.

Why do breast implant sizers feel smaller than expected?

Because they’re sitting on top of you, not inside you, so they can’t really show how the implant will fill out once it’s in the pocket. They’re useful. They just work best alongside real before-and-after photos.

Should I choose implant size based on cup size?

No, and that’s freeing once it clicks. Cup sizes are all over the place from brand to brand and band to band. Use cup size as rough shorthand, then make the real decision from your anatomy, the implant’s actual dimensions, and photos.
