Breast Augmentation and Cup Size

In reality, cup size is too variable and subjective between bra manufacturers, and in my opinion is not an accurate nor useful method of discussing breast augmentation. What is most important is what you like when looking into a mirror! See a board-certified plastic surgeon who will allow you to "try on" different breast implant sizes in the office, and then determine what size winds up giving you the look that you desire. Don't focus on cup size as you will too often miss... more

Choosing the right implant size

425cc may put you in the D cup range, but it's hard to determine cup size with cc's. Therefore, look at some before and after pictures of women with 425cc to see if that is the size that you want.

Breast Augmentation and Implant Size

Hello! Your choice of 425 cc is probably a bit much for your goals. That said, the best way to help zero in on a size is a sizing system and photos, combined with a careful consultation with a board certified ABPS plastic surgeon. Best of luck and enjoy your new look! Check out Breast Augmentation info at jeffscottmd.com

425 cc's definitely too big.

Hi. Sounds like you want to be one cup larger. 300 cc breast implants is all you need for that. Don't go too big. see video

Implants in the 400 range more likely in the D range

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to tell from the photo you have attached. It really depends on your base width diameter. I will say though, that if you are already a big B cup, then a 425 ccc implant is more likely to make you a D cup then it is a C cup. Discuss this specifically with your plastic surgeon. Good Luck.

What size breast implant is right

The size chosen is based upon measurements taken at your visit. I generally tell women that your perception of proper fullness is more important than the letter on a bra, since not all ras are created equal. So we will have you put on a bra that has sleeves for implants, then place your blouse back on and see if the implant chosen gives the kind of visual "look" you want. Since I haven't had the chance to obtain the proper measurements for dimensional augmentation, I... more

If your big C is a very big C the full implant is right for you

If you are already into a full B cup, chances are a volume change above 400cc may push you into a D-cup. We would have to rely on and examination and interview, and see for ourselves just what 'your' C is to look like. If one girls C is another's D, so be it. The end result whatever you call it must be on target. Best of luck, Peter Johnson, MD

425cc implants may be a bit too big for one cup size increase.

Generally, I tell patients that it takes about 250cc to equal one bra cup size, so 425cc will add just over 1 1/2 cup sizes to whatever breast volume you presently have. Of course, bra sizes are as different as there are numbers of bra manufacturers, so this is VERY subjective, as are terms "big," "fake," "natural," etc. Each word means something different to each of us. I suggest trying on implants in a bra and stretchy top and see what you like. Understand... more

Implant choices

Implant choice really depens upon your anatomy, and your desired goals. It is very difficult to say you will be in a certain cup because all bras are different. You certainly can be sized by volume and this is pretty easy to do, again in person during exam.

Height and weight may influence cup size for surgery

Without examining you, this would be difficult to say, but based on your height and weight, this may result in a D cup, not a C. Try on breast implants at your plastic surgeon's office or place 425cc of water in a bag and try on at home to determine size.

It might give you a D

Jenny, The photo that you provided does not offer any information, except perhaps for the fact that you are NOT 166 pounds in that photo. If you are indeed 166 pounds and have a wide enough breast base, then a 425cc implant might give you a large C cup breast. If you are the woman in the photo, then it is more likely to give you a D cup. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon might give you a better understanding of what size implant will result in a... more
