I am getting round and textured breast implants above the muscle. I have chosen 250cc L and 275cc R. I am currently a mid A cup and want to be a mid C. I'm 5'4 and 55 kg. Do you think this implant size will be enough to get me to a C cup, or should I go next size up? Thank you.

Cup sizing with breast implants

As we have reviewed many times on this site, your goal should not be to achieve a specific cup size, but rather a specific "look" given the starting point you have and what your body will allow. That being said, it is possible that you might get into the neighborhood of a small C cup. It would be better to try on some sizers in a sports bra using a 200 to mimic the 250 and a 225 to mimic the 275 and see what you think about the look. I would also encourage you to reconsider the... more

It is hard to predict final cup sizes without a personal consultation.

It is impossible to give you an accurate answer without a personal consultation. You should go back to your surgeon and try on different sizes. Bring in a bra you wish to fit into and see which implants will get you there. see video

Mid C cup may be possible for the breast implant size you mentioned

Hello, While I am not a huge fan of textured implants or "over the muscle" positioning, I can't tell much on your prospective post-operative size without examining you. The implant you have chosen may be a bit on the small side though.

Size of the implant depends on chest anatomy and desired perception

It is better to communicate the desired size using both visual and measured data. A cup size is quite variable, as many responders have noted. I recommend patient bring a set of photographs to depict: too small. just right, and too big breast photos. I then incorporate that with chest anatomy data to decide what RANGE of implant sizes are possible. In your case, it will depend on what "c cup" means to you visually. Based on a midsized frame, 275 should be ok. The surgeon... more

Implants To Achieve A C-Cup

This is an area that I enjoy educating on because so many women do not get bra sizing. With men's clothing it's based on actual measurements. Women's clothing is so much more abstract. As most women know the more money you spend on clothing the smaller the size you'll wear. There's no difference with bras. Cup size is manufacturer dependent and therefore a C cup is different between brand names. What's important is not the bra letter but how proportionate the breasts are in relation... more

Breast implant sizes.

Hi! Based on what you say, perhaps you should go one size larger. But the two points are not to guess, and that this should be your surgeon's problem and not yours. In Manhattan, we use disposable breast implant SIZERS during surgery do see exactly what sizes give you the cup size you want. Then we discard the sizers, and open the correct permanent implants from our inventory. No guess work!

I don't think you'll get C cup with this breast implant size

Final breast size depends on what you start with. From your description, I would ay you need to have 330 cc + to achieve a "C" contour. However, remember that there is no bra industry standard as to what a "C" cup is. Did you try different implants in a bra of the size you want to be?

Mid C cup for breast implants

This is a tough question to decide by the information given. The reality is that you'll need to visit with your ABPS board certified plastic surgeon and then decide what size to go with. Some of us use sizers in the office using a bra under a form fitting shirt that you can then see what size you are headed for. The other's have mentioned the importance of measuring your body frame dimensions. I use those measurements as well to help guide our choice. The reality is that these implant... more

I agree with the other surgeons. I encourage patients to consider that the diameter is one of the most inportant things in choosing an implant. As such, larger implants tend to have larger diameters, while the projection increases, but not nearly as much. The long and short of it is that you are at least average height, and and don't say what your current bra size (# of inches). That said, my opinion is that the implants you are choosing are likely not adequate in diameter. I can't... more

Cup size

On a small frame with an a cup the implant size of 250-275 may get you into a small C bra. Remember bras are all made differently, so that it may be a "C" in one while itmay get you into a "B" in another.
