Your body dimensions and the size you wish to be will assist your surgeon in determining the appropriate implant for you. Cup sizes are not standard and only serve as guidelines to the magnitude of the size change you are looking for. The dimensional approach which measures your breast dimenisons, skin thickness and elasticity are used to determine the right dimensions of an implant. The volume (cc's) is dictated by the dimensions of the device used.
