Thank you for your question. The most important factor when sizing implants, is working closely with your surgeon, in person, to find the implant size that gives you the look that you desire. Careful measurements of your breast and chest wall will help determine which size implants will fit within your natural breast footprint. Taking into account your desired look, and your measurements, an implant is chosen that specifically fits your body. Unfortunately, online recommendations are not that helpful. Make sure that you have a good relationship with your plastic surgeon, so that you two can work together to find the right size. In my office, patients try on implants in a bra and clothing. There able to see how they look in the mirror, and in photographs. Women are also encouraged to bring in wish pictures, so that I can get a sense of the look that they would like to achieve. Good luck with the process!

Every woman’s
idea of cup size is different and for this reason, most plastic surgeons prefer
other methods to determine breast size.Furthermore, cup size doesn’t easily translate into cc when determining
breast volume.In addition, no two
patients are ever exactly alike.They
have unique anatomic findings, individual starting points, and specific
aesthetic goals.In the absence of a physical exam
and pictures, it’s virtually impossible to make a recommendation about implant
size.For these reasons, consultation
with a Board-certified plastic surgeon is appropriate.This surgeon should be able to find the
implant that creates harmony, balance, and proportion and ultimately
accomplishes your aesthetic goals.

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. 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, lift, etc). 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. 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. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

In general there is very is a poor corrrelation between cc's and cup size.  If you ultimately choose to go with a 400cc implant, your cup size will likely be at least two cups larger. If your surgeon has a 3D imaging system or a sizing system, I suggest you use that to help you get the size you want.
