I am approximately 160 pounds and 5'6 1/2". I hope to be a C cup after surgery. The surgeon is planning a behind the muscle implant. Thank you.
Answer: Breast implants and cup size. Everyone is different Ingrid, great question! Breast size after breast augmentation, especially cup size is very arbitrary and varies with patient and bra type. Breast size after augmentation really depends on how much you have before and how much you are adding. A very rough estimate for an average size woman is around 200cc will increase you one cup size. So a 275 cc implant may increase you one cup size, but it all depends on how your bra fits! Discuss it with your plastic surgeon and i hope this helps.

Answer: Are 275cc silicone implants large enough to get C cup? Easy answer, No, Maybe, Yes! As Dr R stated, there is no correlation to size in cc's of the implant to cup size. Go to a boarded Plastic Surgeon to be measured and examined. Than you have the best avenue to make an informed decision. Remember, the #1 complaint after Breast Augmentation Surgery, is "I wish I had gone bigger". Regards and good luck.

Answer: Do Implant Size and Bra Cup Size Correlate - NO! You ask a key question about breast augmentation . How do I know what Bra size I will achieve with a certain size implant. It involves much more than putting an implant sizer in your bra which is often decieving and does not correlate well with the result from implant surgery in which an implant is placed below the musle to improve shape and contour . The best way to determine the optimal size for you is to have your board-certified Plastic Surgeon exam you and determine your chest wall diameter and amount of breast tissue so he/she can give you the optimal size for your size, height and weight as well. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE IMPLANT SIZE AND BRA CUP SIZE.

Answer: Breast implant sizing. SEE VIDEO BELOW FOR SIZING TECHNIQUE: Generally, it is my impression that this will not achieve the cup that you desire. I strongly advise patients to try sizers with desired bras. You can do this in your physicians office or using sizing techniques discussed elsewhere or with commercially available sizers.

Answer: BBA There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps. Good luck!Sincerely,
