Bra Size from Additional 120 Cc After Breast Implants?

I had breast implants. I was initially a 12B (small) and had 330cc implants, which took me to a 12D.

Was wondering if anyone could tell me, if I am now a 12D what would another 120cc take me to in bra size? Thank you in advanced.

This is the most important thing to consider. As the implant size increases IMPLANT DIAMETER ALWAYS INCREASES, WHILE PROJECTION MAY OR MAY NOT INCREASE. DIAMETER INCREASES MUCH MORE THAN PROJECTION, WHEN PROJECTION INCREASES. I put this in uc text to emphasize this, as it is the most important thing in... more
