Breast Implant Size and Resulting Cup Size?

Thank you for the question. I would suggest that you concentrate on achieving a certain “look”, not a specific cup size, with your breast augmentation surgery. Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon is able to accurately predict what cup size you will end up wearing after breast augmentation with a certain size implant. As you know, you may end up wearing different bra cup sizes depending on who makes the bra. I would suggest that you communicate your goals... more

What implants will make you a D-cup?

Remember, your final breast size is determined by not only your implants, but also what you started with in terms of your own breast tissue.

The bra size will depend on whose bra you wear. A "D" in Victoria Secret may be a "C" cup in Playtex. So don't focus on a specific bra size, but rather pick implant style and size based on what you think looks good on you and that you are happy with. Loose rule of thumb, every 200 cc is about a cup size in volume, but it may not raise your bra by a cup size as noted above.
