I am 5'7", weigh 160. I float in my 36b these days since I have lost 20 lbs.. I tried on 350cc in a c and d cup what is the difference if they use the same volume and which would look more natural as I am a medium to large frame and have a 37" chest?

Answer: Bra Size is not important
If you like how you look, don't worry about what size your bra is. Bra sizing is very nebulous and inaccurate. Oprah has done shows about bra sizing and has shown that 50% of women in the US are wearing the wrong size bra. Implants don't come in cup sizes. Your bra strap size after augmentation is determined by the diameter of your chest wall directly under your breasts (this measurement won't change with breast augmentation). This measurement plus 5 inches should be your bra strap size. So if someone has a 30 inch chest-wall diameter, they would theoretically wear a 35 bra but no one makes odd-number bras. So that person would likely wear a 34 bra sometimes and other times a 36 bra.
The cup size is determined by how much breast tissue you have plus the size of the implant. The same letter cup size changes with a change in strap size. For instance, a 34D cup will be similar in size to a 36C.
Find a surgeon who has VECTRA 3D software which can help you visualize yourself with different size implants.

Answer: Cup Size and Implants
Thank you for your question. Most women erroneously assume that the implant volume will determine the cup size. In addition, every woman is different and while 2 individuals may both have 350cc implants, one may wear a C cup and the other a D cup. When you have a consultation, your surgeon considers many factors based on measurements taken, amount of breast tissue, skin laxity, your lifestyle, and the result you wish to receive. Best of luck to you!
