What Size Can I Expect After 800cc?

Breast implants do not correspond to a cup size.  It really depends on a lot of different factors, from a patient's exisiting breast tissue, to their height/frame/weight/ etc.  An 800cc implant on someone who is 5'3 would be extremely large, yet in somneone who is 5'10, may be very proportional looking.  You really will not know until you go through the surgery.  I hope this helps.

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!

This question has been answered well but I would add that 800 cc is the maximum size of commercially available implants and would be similar to choosing the maximum dress size commercially available just because that number sounds good. Another myth is that implants lift the breast and solves ptosis of the breast and bigger implants doing it more. The proper way to size implants is to start with the width of breast and choose an implant that fits it. The choice of forward volume is based on the profile of the implant which ranges from low to high (not called that in silicone gels) and results in an increase in breast size of from 1-2 cup sizes although this is not exact. The number of cc's is then looked up with the knowledge that the implant will fit and what approximate size increase it will result in.
