What Cup Size Would a 500cc Implant Give Me?

What Cup Size Would a 500cc Implant Give Me? This rougly works out to 2-3 cup sizes larger  dpending on several factors. You lose about 15% when placing under the muscle.

A 500cc implant adds approximately 2.5 cup sizes to your present measurement

Rule of thumb is that for every 200cc added a patient will experience a one cup increase over her present cup size. Using this rough calculation a 500cc implant would add two and one half cup sizes to your measurements.  In your case this size implant will enlarge you to between a C and D cup. I personally do not believe there is an appreciable difference between placing an implant subglandular versus submuscular. However, some would argue that a given... more

500 cc implants

How to pick breast implant sizes Answer by George J.

Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough.

Cup Size with Breast Implants

Cup size is determined by your anatomy and ratio of your breast and chest measurements.  So, a 500 cc implant would make a much larger change in cup size in a small person versus a larger person.  So, it is impossible to say what cup size you will be without knowing your measurements.  However, every 150 to 200 cc of implant will usually increase cup size by 1 in an average sized person.  Good luck.

IMPLANT SIZE DOES NOT CORRESPOND WITH CUP SIZE

Unfortunately, implant size does not correspond with a cup size.  Two women, with the exact same tissue and implants, can wear two totaly different sized bras.  It all depends on your breasts, chest size and shape, height, etc.  In general, though, a 500cc implant should make anyone in the D/DD/DDD cup size, depending on what chest size you are 32/34/36, etc.  I hope this helps.
