Implant Size: B to C cup
As stated before this is a difficult question to answer but hopefully I can give you a range:
The points that I consider critical in determining cup size are:
Patient's height
Patient's Shoulder Width
Patient's weight
Last but not least patient's true desire for final cup size
If the patient is in the range of 125lb and is a currently a B cup and a medium height of (5ft. 5" and wants to be a C cup: implant size 250cc to 260cc.. if she wants: a C+ cup:...

Implant Size vs Cup Size
If you went to the kitchen to make a cake, 200 ccs equals 1 cup. Therefore, to get from a small B to a full C, one would probably need, theoretically, 300 - 350 ccs. Next, with reference to old school bras (before Victoria Secret), 34B = 36A = 32C. If this isn't confusing enough, there truly is no longer any standardization in the bra community; therefore cup letters depend on what store you buy your bras at, and even in those stores, different brands have different...

??B to C cup, what size implant??
There are no definitive criteria for cup size. I have a number of patients who have 3 different cup sizes in the bra drawer that all fit reasonably well. Your idea of a C cup may not correspond with your surgeon's idea.
Your surgeon can help you decide by examining you and taking measurements. In my experience, having the patient try on implants is most helpful, (but bear in mind that this is not an exact science--usually the implants worn externally look a bit larger than...

Breast Augmentation Sizing
No surgeon can answer this question for you without an examination and assessment of your tissues. In addition, your skin and muscle will also alter the appearance of the implant once it is placed in your body.
You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a formal opinion through and in-person consultation.
Best of luck,

Choosing the right breast implants
It is impossible to suggest to you what would be best in terms of the correct implant volume for you without an exam. Besides cup size and implant volume do not always match up because each bra manufacturer makes their bras differently. An in-office exam is key!

From B to C, what size implant
Hi, there is no accurate way to predict what size or shape implant will get you to your goal. everyonem is different and the same implants can have different results in different people.
your best bet is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and get measured and review a lot of before and after pictures of different size implants on different patient frames, to get an idea. there is no substitute for an actual personal consultation in this regard.

Best Breast Implants to Achieve My Goals?
Thank you for the question.
Although you may hear otherwise, I can assure you that there is no reliable predictor of breast cup size change with a specific implant size/profile. There are many variables involved including the patient's specific body type (for example chest wall contour and amount of breast tissue present) as well as the variability of cup sizes depending on the bra manufacturer.
