Starting with a A cup, If i were to have a 500cc high profile silicone implant, roughly what cup size would that give me?? Would it make a difference in size if it were over or under the muscle? SO far i think i'm going with under
Answer: #CupSizeVsImplantSize It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 500 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C+” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the below link.

However, it's important to also assess the width of the breast, and make sure that the implant isn't overly wide, and to assess the amount of "give" in the tissue, to know whether the high profile 500cc implant will fit you. An in-person exam, by an experienced plastic surgeon, would help with this.

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Obviously one of the most important aspects of breast augmentation surgery is the size. This also tends to be the most complicated aspect of this procedure as well. There is a lot that makes up a persons cup size and there are many measurements that I perform to determine if a particular implant size would work for my patient. Every body is different as every breast is different. A particular cc that may work and give an amazing outcome to one patient, may wind up be disastrous for another. Every case is customized and what works for one may not work for another. I spend one visit in its entirety to determine the implant size that is going to achieve what the patient desires. There are the measurements, photos, at home sizing and in office sizing that we evaluate before coming up with a particular cc. I would recommend you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who would go thru all those maneuvers to try to achieve the optimum result for you.Therefore without a proper exam it is impossible to tell you what cup size you would be, and even then it is still very difficult as every bra company sizes their bras differently. Hope that helps.

Answer: Don't worry about cup size. Cup size is the worst way of determining implant volume. Rather specific breast measurements and the use of sizers in the office will help best determine this. The choice of under or above also depends on various factors including breast cancer risk, level of activity (ie bodybuilding etc) and the soft tissue pinch of the upper , medial and lower pole of your breast. In short, no one can really answer this question for you until you see a board certified plastic surgeon who performs many cosmetic breast procedures. I also strongly suggest looking at the surgeon's before and after gallery to undertand the gamut of the results that are possible with this procdure.Best wishes,Dr. Ravi SomayazulaBoard Certified Plastic SurgeonMember of the ASPS, ASAPS

Answer: What Cup Size Would a 500cc Implant Give Me? It's a great question, but it's really hard to predict your final cup size. A rough estimate would be that every 150-200cc of implant volume would increase your bra size by about 1 cup. During your consultation you'll be able to try on implants in a bra. It's important to remember that cup sizes vary significantly between different bra manufacturers, so focus on reaching your goal look and then you'll find out your cup size during a bra fitting. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

Answer: "What cup size will this many cc give me?" To answer this question, we need two data points. First, the number of CCs. And second, your base width diameter (BWD). Without knowing the BWD, it is hard to say. As a ball-park, about 120 - 140 cc’s is a bra cup size. This may be more or less depending on the patient’s measurements. I hope that answers your question on implants and cup sizes. It’s great that you’re doing this research. I always say that the best patients are informed patients. You might also want to research your options for breast implants. Choosing the right implant is the number one concern among women considering breast augmentation. Did you know, there’s actually a way to select a implant shape, size, and profile that is perfect for you? A term that I use with my patients for the perfect implant is the “Pony Implant”. So what do I mean by “perfect”? Well, a Pony Implant has three qualities to it. First, the implant meets your beauty goals. For example, you want to your breasts to look fuller while still appearing natural. Second, when you chose your Pony Implant, you walk out of your consultation 100% confident that you’ve chosen the right shape and size for you. In other words, you won’t be second guessing your decision, and you won’t be afraid of having gone too big or too small. And third, after your procedure, you are thrilled with your results, and say, "I’m so happy. This is exactly what I wanted!" That’s the Pony Implant. And the great news is that there is a simple process to go about finding yours. This issue of selecting the right implant is so important when it comes to patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction that, again, I really encourage you to learn more about it. Thank you for reading and best of luck on your journey!
