425 cc after a "C" cup

Adding a 425 cc implant to a breast that is a "C" cup may bump you up to a"DD" or so. Hard to say for sure.

Breast Augmentation and Sizing

What I would ask you is what are you looking for in this surgery? What are you trying to accomplish? It is very difficult to say what cup size you would be. I would say you are looking for a look and you should try to obtain the look you are going for. If you came up with this 425 cc by trying on sizers then so be it. You will see what cup size you will be after the surgery. Every place you would go would have a different way of sizing you and would tell you that your are this or... more

Choosing bra size after augmentation not possible

There is absolutely no conformity with bra manufacturers so I tell all my patients I cannot promise nor guarantee a cup or bra size from augmentation, lift or reduction surgery.

Breast implant size and cup after 425 cc.

There is no one who can provide you with a definitive answer. You're best bet is to go to websites that stratify paitent's before and after pictures according to height, weight, implant, volume, etc. Try to search for individuals that are more similar to your size. Compare your body to their's. After a while you will gain an appreciation for the size you will become. Alternatively you can try commercially available breast implant sizers.

As a plastic surgeon, I must sit down and ask you what your goals are in terms of results. What size do you want to be is more important than if I get 425 cc implants what size will I end up. The size depends on many factors including current volume of breast tissue, position of the nipple, how much drooping is there, have you had any children... more

Cup size after 425cc

Without knowing your breast measurements (height and width, level of the nipple/areolar complex, laxity of skin, etc) as well as the proposed placement subglandular, submuscular, subfascial)and type of implants (low, medium, high profile, etc) it would be difficult to say what your cup size will be afterwards, but adding 425cc to an existing C cup may make you disproportionately large, unless you have a wide frame to begin with. Discuss this thoroughly with your surgeon and "try... more

Average of 2 cup sizes

In general, each cup size is 150-250 cc depending on breast diameters. With a 425 cc gel implant you will likely be a full D. This is not a perfect science as different chest shapes and diamters will influence this final size.
