Breast implants, breast augmentation

It really is difficult to determine. The most important measurement is the diameter of the breast as this will determine the diameter of the implant that should be used. Base on what you have described about 200 cc's should increase you about a cup size.

One cup size change

About 200 cc's are needed for you to increase one cup size.You should discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon.

How many cc to increase one breast size?

Usually the normal number is somewhere between 150-200cc to increase the cup size. However, when a breast augmentation is being done there are technical issues as well, creating fullness, cleavage or also if the patient has loose skin, meaning that they had volume loss over the years, need to replace that volume loss. So considering all these things , occasionally 150-200cc may not be enough, we may need to put a little bit more than 200cc depending on the patient type.

Implants and cup size

Typically a volume of 150-200 ccs will increase your breast by one cup size, although this volume requirement varies based on body frame and existing breast volume.

Cup size and implants

It is very difficult to "size you up" without performing an exam and going over your surgical goals. There is not exact volume per cup size, but they probably go up about 150-200 cc/cup .

Bra Size after Breast Augmentation

It used to be that we could tell you about how many cc's it would take to increase you a bra size based on your measurement around the rib cage below the breasts. For someone your size this would have taken 100-125 cc's. Now it is impossible to determine since each bra manufacturer uses their own rules about bra cup size. Therefore, now, you need to be more specific than simply discussing desired bra cup size. You need to discuss, at length, in general terms, what size you would... more

What size implant to increase breast one cup size?

You can expect to increase your cup size by one measure by using an implant between 150-200 cc. To pinpoint the best size, you should consult with your plastic surgeon and try different implants. I like to use the Vectra 3D system by Lumenis, so my patients can visualize their result with different implants before having the procedure.

How much volume to increase 1 cup size

It is very important that although numbers are helpful, you cannot generalize ccs to cup size. You frame, skin type, elasticity, previous pregnancies, as well as the bra manufacturer all go into the final cup size. The best way to make this decision is to go in for an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and try on different implants to get a better answer on what implant is best for you.

Volume needed to increase one cup size

This is difficult to answer without knowing your breast skin quality or current volume. You may however need at least 150-200 cc's to increase your cup size by one cup. A board certified plastic surgeon can help you with the sizing process by having you try on different sized implants. I use 3D imaging which gives a very accurate simulation of what a certain implant will look like on your specific frame/body. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
