Are 275cc Silicone Implants Large Enough to Get C Cups?

It is important to remember that a C cup to you is the not the same as a C cup to someone else. The size your breasts will be after surgery is dependent on the size your breasts were before surgery. On average about 150ccs is about a cup size. Talk with your surgeon about what he expects as your final cup size and look for pictures of women who are your stature who had a breast augmentation.

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.

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.
