A: No easy way to predict cup size after breast implants

By Otto Joseph Placik, MD - Chicago Plastic Surgeon

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... more

A: Can only be determinied at consultation

By Michael C. Edwards, MD - Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon

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... more

A: Proper breast implant size

By Steven Wallach, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

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.

A: Pictures can be helpful when trying to determine desired breast size

By Jeffrey Zwiren, MD - Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

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... more

A: A rough Guess

By Scott E. Kasden, MD - Dallas Plastic Surgeon

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

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

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

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. ... more

A: Implant Size

By H. Steve Byrd, MD - Dallas Plastic Surgeon

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... more

A: Dimensions, not volume

By Robin T.W. Yuan, MD - Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

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... more

First of all, there is no "ideal" size for anyone and there are numerous factors that go into the decision, such as age, number of children, skin laxity, etc. Are you already a 34? This measurement wont change with implants, and you probably know that a 34C is not nearly the same size as a 38C. Your current height and weight is also an important consideration. In general, for a petite woman to go from nothing to a full B or small C, I would probably use a Natrelle in the 265-304 range. Always remember that most women wish they had gone a bit larger and good luck.
