What's the Cup Size Difference Between 550 Cc or 600 Cc?

There will really be no appreciable difference between a 500 and 600 cc implants.  To see a full cup size difference, there really needs to be a 200 to 250 cc increase in volume between implants.  I hope this is helpful.  Good luck.

Hello! Thank you for your question. In
general, implant size does not
correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual
measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your
breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her
desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Given
your desires, a breast augmentation, with an implant or fat grafting,
would be an ideal procedure that would meet your expectations. Breast
augmentation is now the most popular procedure performed in plastic
surgery today. One tolerated very well by women with minimal downtime
and high patient satisfaction.  A 50cc difference will likely not make an appreciable difference.Good
communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is
warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion

of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is
mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, etc). Your height,
weight, breast width, and body habitus will make a difference for which
implant style/projection to choose. Implant
profile will also make a difference on the projection, which will
influence overall breast/cup size. I have found

that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a
visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape,
fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative
photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you of results.
Sizers are helpful during an in-office consultation. Once this has
been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical
judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for
you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right
implant for your breast width. This is the most important determinant
for the sizing of implants, which will provide the optimal result and
most aesthetically-pleasing result for you.Consult with a
board-certified plastic surgeon well-versed in breast procedures who
will examine and discuss with you the various options and factors to
consider and help you decide which one will be the right one for you.
Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

What's the Cup Size Difference Between 550 Cc or 600 Cc? Probably one quarter to one half cup difference.
 

In this size range, 50 cc will produce about a 1/4 cup size change and should not drastically affect the look.     In terms of what gives the best proportion to your chest wall and body, you will need an in office exam.  Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.

Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.

The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor.   The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant.   It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.

I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

For your stated objectives, either size could be reasonable. Consult in person with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your options.There is not a direct correlation between breast implant size and cup size as the cup size varies greatly among companies and even within the same company. Moreover, cup size can vary based on who is performing the measurement. The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for your body.

The difference in volume between a 550 cc implant and a 600 cc implant is only 50 cc's this probably would not translate into a larger cup size.

There is no cup size difference between a 500 and a 600cc implant.  The 600 will fill the cup slightly more but the bra size will almost certaily be the same.  It takes about 200 cc's to go up a cup size.

There is not nearly a cupsize difference between a 550cc and a 600cc implant.  In order to determine the size that you are happiest with, you should try the implants on.  This will give you a good idea of the volume improvement that you will receive but not the shape.
