Obviously you do have some breast volume given that you wear a C cup bra. Having some breast volume also plays a role in how an implant will look in size compared to someone who is flat chested. Given someone with more loose breast skin compared to tighter skin in a woman with little to no breast volume also makes a difference in how the size of the implant affects the overlying look of the breast. I would really need to see some pictures of your breasts currently and some pictures of what you think is a good size or even too big on someone else before I can really offer any meaningful input. The most assured way to choose the right breast implant size is to use volumetric sizers which is done in the office. In my experience, this is the most reliable method to give women the breast size they want with implants.
