Hi. I am 34 years old, a 32B, 5 feet 3 inches, and weigh 105 lbs. My surgeon has reccommended 200 cc implants. I know that cup size is not equal to cc, and that your shape and size matters. What cup size is this likely to make me, and is 200 cc enough to make much of a difference. I have seen many before and after pics, and to go from a B to a C cup in all cases has taken at least 300 cc. Ideally I would like to be a full C or a smaller D cup.

Breast Augmentation

Hello and thank you for the question. Given the dimensions you have described for your breasts, a 200cc implant will likely place you in a full B to C cup category. Without an examination it is difficult to make an accurate assessment, but if you wish to be a full C/small D, you will in all likelihood require a larger implant than 200 ccs.

Implant size needs to be determined by physical examination

From what you mentioned about your height and weight and the fact that you desire to be a full C or small D cup size, I would think that you need something larger than 200 cc's. However, what size you really need to achieve your goals would depend upon a physical examination. I might suggest something in the order of 250-300 cc's, maybe more, for your consideration. I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your neighborhood. Names and... more

Formula for bra cup and breast implants

It is very easy to be confused by this measuring system. Cup sizes are only used as estimates for clothing. Although the measuring technique for determining cup size is precise, the results of these measurements are not. Let me give you an example; weight is a very accurate measurement. However two patients that weigh 120 lbs are not likely to look alike. The same is true with two patients that have C cup breasts. This is why physicians tend to use volume (cubic centimeters or cc) as a... more

Breast augmentation to full C or smal D

Choosing the correct implant volume is probably the most important aspect of the pre-surgery evaluation. I have my patients bring in the desired size bra, one without padding, and they try on different sizers. They wear a fairly tight fitting shirt so they can see how the size fits with their waist and hips. Generally, 200cc will increase the average person 1 cup size. So if you want to go form a B to a C/D bra you would need more than 200cc. It also matters if you are talking about... more

Full C small D

Sorry to tell you but 200 cc will NO WAY get you to a small D cup. Whether that's what fits you best or not, there is no way. I do hundreds of these a year and you will simply not be happy with that if your expectation is to get to a small D.

Choosing breast augmentation implant size

Hi Sarah, From my experience using a 200cc implant is unlikely to take you beyond a full B/small C cup size. If you really want to be a large C/D you most likely will need to be thinking of at least 375 to 400cc in my opinion. Be aware though that with an implant of that size you may be more prone to stretched skin and sagging breasts in the future. Using various options available to us, including 3-D imaging, implant sizers in a bra and measuring your chest, one can come to a more... more

Best implants for you

It generally takes about 200cc to make a cup size. You might need a little more than 200cc to get to a small D. It is very important to consider the amount of breast tissue you currently have, your petite figure, and most importantly those measurements your surgeon took. Those measurements are the key to proper implant fitting. You don't want implants that are too wide for your chest. So, talk to your surgeon and clarify as to why a 200cc implant is best for you. ... more

Size implants to get a full C or small D cup

Based on the information you provided, going from a 32B to a full C or small D cup may need more than 200 cc, perhaps 300cc. However, your surgeon may also be considering your chest and breast dimensions, how thin you are and the quality of your breast tissue. You should discuss your desires with your surgeon and, if needed, consider another opinion.

Breast implant sizing

T is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

200 cc implant enough?

As a rule of thumb, usually, about 150-200 cc of implant equates to a cup size in a bra. Since you are a 32 band, probably more like 150 cc / cup for you. So, 200 cc might make you a little more than a cup bigger, but would probably not get you to the full C/ small D that you are hoping for. Did you try on a sizer implant? That would be an easy way to check it for yourself. All the best,

Implant choices

Using a small implant like this could add abot a cup to your overall volume, but without an exam is it difficult to say for sure.

200 cc implants

I think that your Plastic Surgeon would recommend the Right implant to get the results you desire. The last thing any surgeon wants is an unhappy patient. A lot of the amount of CC that will give you the best results is how your chest measures out and your current cup size. Try doing the rice test at home or with a friend and see what you think. I have posted many times about how the rice test. Good Luck!
