Will 425cc Breast Implants Give Full C Cup?

I am 5'6.5", 34 A-B, breast diameter of 14 and I weigh 140 lbs, fat mostly concentrated on my butt and thighs. I was wondering if 425 cc breast implants would get me a full "C" cup. I have had an exam and tried on round smooth moderate plus saline breast implants and found myself wanting 500cc, but I only want a full C cup. My ribs cage comes out a bit as to what the doctor says. I am 25 and have not had any children.

425 cc breast implants should give you a C cup sized breast

Cup size varies among different bra manufacturers. A C cup at one store could be a D cup at Victoria Secret or other store. 425 cc is a good sized implant. It will likely make your breasts a C-cup at most stores.

Breast implant sizing

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling of the... more

Will 425cc Breast Implants Give Full C Cup?

This size implant should easily take you beyond a Full C cup and potentially higher. Your breasts are widely displaced and it is unlikely that you will be able to achieve significant cleavage. see video

Implants and cup size

If you have had an exam and tried on implants that you like, and your doctor feels the size is appropriate, then I would go with those. Cup size and volume of implants are hard to match up. Go with the volume. Don't focus so much on the cup size.

Breast Implant Size

The short answer given the information you have provided is "yes". But, be aware that prdicting exact cup size with any type of breast surgery is an inexact art. I would be aware that your breasts are far apart and your surgeon should adres this with you regarding size AND style of implant

Which breast implants are right for you?

It looks as though you're in the right range. However, please keep in mind that cup sizes vary from store to store. It's good that you've tried on some implants, but also show your plastic surgeon some photos of breast augmentations that you like so that you're both on the same page concerning your final look. Good luck!

Breast Implants and Cup size

Almost every woman who presents to me in my office for a breast augmentation consultation wants to be a "full C" cup. It is important to realize that cup sizes vary by bra manufacturer and are not scientifically based. There are a number of variables that can occur during a bra sizing that makes this an unreliable resource for a scientific procedure - such as breast augmentation. As a result, I have found that in-office sizing is one of the most successful ways in which you... more
