Breast implant size/cup size?
Thank you for the question.
The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used 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 (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance...

Cup Size and Breast Augmentation
Cup sizes after breast augmentation is tricky to predict. If you are a C cup and adding 350 cc you will be a large D or DD if I had to guess. I really try to get my patients to focus less on the "CUP SIZE" and to focus on our goal to produce full, nicely shaped breasts that fit the patient's body frame.

How much bigger would a 350cc Breast Implant Make me?
It is obvious that you and your surgeon worked very hard to pick the best implant for YOUR chest and breast tissue.
But- I am also sure that a colleague of mine who is that meticulous and dedicated to detail also must have told you that there is NO direct and predictable correlation between an implant volume and bra cup sizes. Bra cup sizes VARY ENORMOUSLY between different manufacturers (A C cup in one is never a Ccup in another and they do not all feel "right" because they are NOT the...

Breast Bra cup size following lift with 350cc implants
There is no formula that will tell you exactly what size you will be but in my opinion you will be approximately a D or DD.

Predicting Breast Size
Without photos or an examination, it is hard to say what would be right for you. Everyone's body anatomy is different and a 125 cc implant in you will look very different in someone else. For this reason, it's best to consult with several surgeons and make a decision that both you and your surgeon are comfortable with.

I think you've got your no answer
Anon,
Although everything that has been posted in answer to your question is correct, it is likely that you will have a full D cup breast after lift and augmentation with 350cc implants. If that sounds too large for you, then you should choose a smaller implant or have some tissue removed during the lift procedure. Discuss it with your plastic surgeon and let him/her know your goals. Good luck!

How big will 350cc implants make my breasts
Hi there-
Your question is amazingly common on RealSelf, but if you consider things for a few minutes, you yourself would realize how impossible it would be for any of us to give you an honest and responsible answer.
Even with your detailed measurements, there is no way (without examining you) to understand the quantity and quality of the skin envelope, the consistency of your breast tissue, your goals for shape and proportion, or the response of your tissues to the stretching...

350 cc silicone gel-filled breast implants
It is not possible to judge the size of the breast based on the cc's nor is it feasible or reasonable in my opinion to try to evaluate it by putting the implant in a bra externally. There is also no simple way to measure the size of the breast before or after the implant is placed. Bra cup sizes are not a reasonable measure.
The best way to fit the implant and judge the size increase is to make sure the implant (saline-filled or gel-filled) is the width of the breast...

Implant size and final result
This is a common question ,but unfortunately it will vary from patient to patient. It is always best to have an exam first. I would guesss that it would probably bump you up a cup or two.

Implant sizing
Try the implant sizers in a bra on yourself before surgery. I find it is a nice way to predict what your bra size will be after surgery. If the bra is too small for the implant, the implant will bulge out medially and push the center part of the bra away from your body. If the bra is too big for the implant, you will see extra space and wrinkles in the bra. That way you will know the bra size at least in that particular brand and style of bra. Keep in mind that larger breasts sag...

Predicting post-augmentation cup size
Hi 8874anon,
It is extremely difficult to predict post-op cup size due to variability in the bra manufacturers' sizing. Usually and depending on your frame, you will go up one cup size for every 100-150cc. However, this is an estimate. Given that you are a C cup, I would expect you would be a D with that size implant. Given that you need a lift and are already a C cup, I would consider a smaller implant. You are predisposed to sagging and a 350cc...

Expected bra size after breast augmentation
Bra cup size is a variable measurement which depends on the manufacturer, and is not entirely predictable after breast augmentation with or without breast lift. If you're already a "C" cup, you will obviously be significantly larger with a 350cc silicone implant, and may move up to a "D" cup after surgery.

350cc Silicone -
You should discuss this with your chosen surgeon, But I believe you will become a C cup. But if you are a B+ than you will make it to a Small D cup.
