No easy way to predict cup size after breast implants

It is difficult to predict your final cup size as there are no formulas for this only estimates. Therefore one can estimate that an implant of 200cc will get you up about one cup and and implant in the range of 300-375cc will likely bring you up by twop cup sizes. Your best bet is to try on sizers that will you provide your with a more realistic ideal of what size you may eventually become. Some of these are commercially available such as the link below.

Can only be determinied at consultation

In order to make a proper recommendation for which implant is right for you would involve examining you and taking measurements. Your implant should be picked based on the base width of your breast, the shape of your breast and tissue laxilty. I would then have you try on the implants in a sports bra to see if you like the look. I suggest you schedule an appointment with a local board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr Edwards

Proper breast implant size

It is very difficult to tell you what size implant you would need without a proper physical exam which would include adequate measurement of your current chest dimensions.

Pictures can be helpful when trying to determine desired breast size

Without an examination this question is very difficult to answer. In general for every 200 cc of implant volume you can expect to go up about one cup size. Trying on different sizing implants or using a measured volume of dry rice in your bra can help you in estimating the necessary volume to match your expectations. It is ultimately important that you communicate with your plastic surgeon and be sure you are both on the same page when it comes to breast size. A picture can be very... more

A rough Guess

Somewhere around a 421 or 457 cc round smooth silicone implant under the muscle should be close. Everyone is different, so be sure to try some on first. sek

Your surgeon needs to use disposable breast implant SIZERS during surgery to pick the best implant.

Hi! Your expectations are realistic, and I would guess that 275 cc high profile breast implants might be good for you. But the whole point is not to guess. We use disposable implant sizers during surgery to see what volume and what dimensions will get you to a full B, while still looking natural. We do this before we open the permanent implants from our inventory. A sizer costs only $45, and it takes all the guess work out. You should not have to pick the implants. Just make sure your... more

Implant Size

What we ask our breast surgery patients to do rather than try to choose a cup size or implant size is to go to two websites and look at breast augmentation patient before and after pictures. From those pictures they select women whose body and breast size is similar to their own who also have a post-op result that they like. Ideally we'd like the patient to find 4 or 5 patients who have outcomes that they would be happy with. We also ask them to choose similarly built patients who have... more

Dimensions, not volume

The volume of the implant is not as important as the dimensions. There are different types of implants that all have the same volume and, conversely, different implants with the same widths can have different volumes. Cup size may have very little to do with implant volume. I encourage patients not to go by cup size, but only as a rough gauge. Start with the most appropriate (ie. ideal) implant that fits your breast. This is an implant with a width no wider than your natural breast. Then... more
