There is no accurate formula to translate cc's and cup size. Bra cup sizes are based on designer and manufacturer criteria and not consistent. The best way to determine the appropriate implant size is to start with measurement of your chest, breast and tissue coverage. That should leave you with a very narrow range of implants - not the wide range you mentioned in your question. Then you can take the implants that fit your body and try them in a bra/cup size that you like. If you achieve the look you desire then proceed with the surgery. You will be happy with the results. The proportionate look after surgery is more important than your cup size and it will also give you the most "natural' look. The bigger implant you choose, typically the more problems you will have. Make sure your implant matches the measurements of your body.
Cc's vs. cup size
Bahram Ghaderi, MD answers: How much cc is needed to achieve full C breasts?
I am 31 years old, 5'4 & 145 pounds. I have had 1 singleton pregnancy and twins; I breast fed all three. I wear a 36B, however, the B cup is not filled out in the top part of the bra--it's a little loose. I am getting smooth, round, moderate plus profile silicone implants. I would like to be a full C, but I don't want to look fat or too big. I have been told 370, 450, & 500 by 3 different docs. Based on my pictures, what cc would you recommend?
A: breast implants to achieve a C cup
Have you tried the sizers and what do you think? You're the most important person that you have to please.
There are many options here. As pointed out a lift is a possiblity as well.
IF your concern is acheiving upper fullness with the smallest implant possible, than placing the implants above the muscle is another option.
I would go with the smallest implant that satisfies your desires.
