D cup with 500 cc implants?

While an implant volume can not accurately predict a cup size( because the brea manufacturers all make different cups and there is no standard), a good rough estimate is by doing a baggy test. Good luck.

Will I be a D?

This depends on a lot more than just implant volume. This has a lot to do with projection, chest wall dimensions, curvature of the rib cage, etc. I can't really answer this question without all of these questions. However, you will, obviously have a sizable increase. You will need to wait for about 4 months for all the swelling to go away to know for sure. Best Wishes, Pablo A. Prichard, MD

Will I Reach a D Cup?

Thank you for the question. On average you will have a 1 cup size increase for every 225 to 250 cc of volume. Having said that recognize that there is no real standard volume for cup size. This can be easily seen when buying a bra. Even if one were to purchase 2 bras that were "identical" in every respect they typically will not fit the same. At this point your are still early on in the your recovery to try and make any decisions about your results. Your final results will most... more

Achieving "D Cup” with Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question, but despite your specific description of your goals, online consultants will not be able to provide you with accurate advice. Your plastic surgeon is in the best position to do so after careful communication between the two of you. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.  In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or... more

Breast augmentation

From the information you have given, I think you will end up with a D cup.For someone your size, I usually think of a 425cc implant as getting them on the border of C and D, so you will probably be a D. It will take 3-4 months for tissue stretch and for you to get your result.

A to D cup with 500 cc Implants

Chances are good that you will be some sort of D cup after the placement of 500 cc implant. In general, a woman your size may need 200 cc per cup transition. Extrapolating, this should put you at a small or medium D if you were a full A. Realize though that these estimates and cup sizes are imprecise measures of volume. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Cup size with 500+ cc implants

Good question. Is a common misconception that certain cc of breast implant with correlate directly with a cup size but there are close estimates in relation to your frame. I think your case will likely reach a D although I would recommend not to commit to new clothing after 12 weeks have passed. Best to you and congratulations on your breast augmentation.

Will I Reach a D Cup?

Since there are no fixed definitions of cup size, this is really not possible to answer. I have numerous patients with B's C's and D's in their bra drawer that all fit. Furthermore, a D on an 36 band is bigger than a D on a 34 band, and so on. A 32A patient with a 500 cc implant will attain a larger cup size on average than will a 38A patient. Your question will best be answered by your surgeon. All the best.
