Breast Size After 340cc Implants?

I am a 32A and I'm will be getting 340cc breast implants and wanted to know what size that would turn out? I want to have like a full B or small c. I'm really confused how it works because some people with an A cup got a B cup while others got a C. 

One of my friends had hers done and she was the same size as me and got a 300cc and turned out to be between full A to small C. I'm so confused please help. I don't want them to be too big nor not big enough. Also, I am a very tiny girl and right now, I'm pretty much flat chested.

Breast size after augmentation

There is no way to exactly predict the size that will fit you best after surgery and there is no standardization of cup sizing in the garment industry either. The "look" is more important than the size and you can get an estimate of the look by trying on implants in a sports bra using about a 290 to mimic a 340.

Breast Size After 340cc Implants

I would try breast sizers first for your to "visualize" the results and sizes. If placed under the muscle a 300cc sizer would roughly approximate the size of a 340cc submuscular implant.

Cup size and implants

It is impossible to predict the exact cup size after implant surgery.  Each bra company is different and therefore the cup size is unreliable. In any event, the implant size that you mentioned willprobably put you into a "C" cup bra in most cases.

Do not use such large breast implants.

Hi! 1) It is your surgeon's responsibility (not yours) to select breast implant size. All you need to do is show him or her a picture of what you want to look like. You need to have confidence that your surgeon can do this before you go ahead. This is an important part of what you are paying you surgeon for. 2) 340 cc's will make you look bigger than a small C. 3) See link below for useful suggestions.

Cup size after breast augmentation

Dear Princess22, As you've figured out, there's no magic formula for determining breast cup size after breast augmentation. There are many reasons for this: 1) Your anatomy. The width and height of your breast, the quality of the skin, the width of your chest wall, and the amount of droop all impact final breast size. If you have droopy, wide breasts with a wide chest wall, a 340 cc implant will not project as much as it would in a a narrower, non-droopy breast. Less projection will... more

Breast size after breast augmentation.

Thanks for the question - You're right to be confused. There is no direct translation between number of cc's and what size bra you will wear (cup size). There are many many reasons for this. First - Bra manufacturers are all over the map when creating cup sizes. A "C" cup from one manufacturer may be a "D" from another. From a breast augmentation standpoint your final cup size will depend on many factors including: your starting sizeimplant sizeimplant shapeamount... more
