I'm 5'4 a 140 Lbs Currently 36b How Big Would 450cc Make my Breast?

There is no exact correlation between implant volume and cup size, but a 450 cc implant should bring you to a D cup if you are a B cup now. On average about 150-200 cc will add a cup size in most women (less than a cup if you have a broad chest), so 450 cc should bring you about 2 cup sizes larger. The cup size is also dependent on the brand of bra. Talk to a board certified plastic surgeon in detail about what you want. It helps to bring photos in addition to simply talking cup size.

Without actually examining you it is impossible to say exactly what cup size you would be.  Rather than worrying about what bra size you would be, I strongly recommend that you try the breast implant sizes on in your surgeons office and make sure that you pick the perfect look for you, regardless of bra size.  Good luck.

A 450 mL implant will probably leave you with a full D cup. This may or may not be what you are interested in. I would suggest you get a 450 mL Sizer and try it in your bra.

Thanks for your post. The choice for a certain breast implant size is always a very personal choice in which your plastic surgeon can guide you. If you're having second thoughts about your breast implant size you should discuss these with your surgeon before the operation. Best wishes.

Without an exam it is really impossible to say. My best guess would be that your cup size would increase 2 - 2 1/2 cup sizes. good luck.

Thank you for your question. It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill

It would be nice if you provided RealSelf with photos and measurements. Without this vital information it is difficult to make specific recommendations. 450cc implant should make you a D cup maybe a little larger.  Your surgeon is in the best position to judge.

There is no correlation between implants and "cup" size. Each bra manufacturer is different from the next. In my practice, I have my patients try on implant sizers and let them decide what they like and don't. We do give some expectations obviously but in the end you have to like what you see in the mirror. Additionally, I offer VECTRA 3D imaging to aide in the sizing process. See if your PS offers either or both of these sizing methods.

Were you to try on a 500 cc implant sizer, that would show you approximately the size to expect for an implanted 450 cc.  As to cup size, I wouldn't want to guess. There are no standards, and I have numerous patients who have 3 different cup sizes of bras that fit. 

All the best. 

Thank you for the question but be careful about making decisions about breast implant size from information that you receive online. There is no direct correlation between breast implant size used and resulting cup sizes.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering  breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:





1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.  Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.







2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals  with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining  breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
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 "D cup”  etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.








3.  Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
