Choosing a breast implant to fill a specific bra.

Communication with your plastic surgeon is key - as your surgeon it is our job to guide you to a safe and aesthetic result based upon your individual anatomy. Your measurements should give your surgeon a range of implant sizes that would be acceptable for your body. From here you can work with your surgeon to pick the size you like. My best suggestion is to buy that "full B" bra that you want to fill and recheck your sizing. The sizing is very similar to the... more

Implant choices

It is hard to predict cup size from the implant volume chosen because the bra manufacturers are very variable in terms of sizing. In all likelihood a 325 cc implant will give you at least a "B" or a decent "C".

Breast Implants Cup Sizes

First of all, cup sizes are an inaccurate way to communicate because they vary between manufacturers. This is perhaps the hardest decision for me and the patient to make. Therefore, I use wide variety of methods, but the implant size is always established preoperatively. Patients are advised to bring reference photos demonstrating their ideal size and shape. A photo album of hundreds of past patient photos is maintained to assist them. My website has over five thousand patient photos.... more

What size will 325cc give you?

You know best as you were the one trying on the implants. If you liked the look of 325cc then it is your overall proportion that is important. I don't know if that is going to make you, for example, a 36B or a 34C. A 325 is a 325. Pick the implant size that you like and get professionally measured for bras after the surgery. I wouldn't get hung up on a specific cup. Many women ask for a full B or a small C. Well, which is it? It's up to you. If you ask your plastic... more

325 cc implant

Many factors contribute to the final cup size. Patients frequently ask if an implant size coresponds to a cup size. Unfortunately, the final cup size may differ from one patient to the next depending on these many factors. Choosing the right implant size is important. So make sure you have good communication with your surgeon.

How to pick breast implants.

Hi. 325 cc's is in the right range, but read this article. Good luck! 1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like. 4) Then your surgeon has to... more

Implant size and cup size

Implant size alone will not determine the cup size that you will ultimately be following surgery. There are many other factors that play a role such as your chest size and configuration, breast volume, implant configuration, skin envelope tightness, implant position and proprietary factors of the bra manufacturer. You should see a reputable board certified plastic surgeon and discuss exactly what you are looking for including general proportionality or lack thereof. Photos can be helpful. more

If I had xxxcc Breast Implants would give me a "Full C" Bra Cup?

I appreciate your dilemma. Unfortunately, it is shared by millions of women. Unlike all other industries, there is no standardization when it comes to bra cup sizing; since xxxcc cup size is NOT a full C in every bra on the market you can never rely on implant volumes to deliver /Produce breasts which would fit those dimension bras in different manufacturers. You have already taken the most important step in getting a great Brest augmentation results; You picked a good Plastic... more

Will 325cc breast implant give me full B cup?

The cup size depends on final breast volume, and bra style. Implant size should be determined by the dimensions of your chest, your pre-existing glandular volume, compliance of your skin envelope, and final desired breast size. A 325 cc implant may be wide and flat, or narrow and full. Just knowing the implant volume is not enough information to determine what your final bra cup size will be.

Breast size

I suggest trying to stop thinking about breast in terms of cup size. There is no standard method for garments that reliable relate to a cup. For example, have you ever seen a bra labeled "full B"? It is best to visualize the rest with images. I have all my patients provide pictures that represent the size and shape they desire. I can them suggest the best implant size. A 325cc implant appearance will depend on chest size, breast size , and tissue... more

Implant and breast cup size a difficult match

There is no direct correlation to implant and cup size though a generalization of 150cc might be about a cup change. You really cannot put the implant in a bra and read the number. If only augmentation would be that easy we would never miss. You can try on the bra with different volumes to estimate a look, however the number is 'off' fairly often. Show your surgeon the B-cup look that you want and let him make the critical decisions. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com more

You must be the one to select your implant size.

You must be the one to select your implant size because there is not industry standard for cup sizes. You already have a mental image of what you want to achieve with your surgery, so select an implant size that matches that image. In my Salt Lake City, UT practice I allow my patients to try on a variety of sizers which I have selected which fit their bodies well. You should try them on and see what size you prefer. I send questionnaires to all of my... more

Breast Implant Sizing?

Unfortunately, there is no direct correlation between the size of breast implants and the resulting cup size. In planning your breast augmentation procedure it will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. in my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" or "top heavy" means different... more
