Answer: No correlation or formula exists with implant volume and final bra size. Your answer is on of the most commonly asked. Unfortunately since no consistency exists between bra sizes among the various manufacturers, one can only estimate what your bra cup will be post-op. A system that we have used over years is to simply have the individual try on different implant sizes under a non-padded bikini top and see if the aesthetic desire in size is being met. Although an approximation, it seems to work for us in that my patients achieve the goal desired with respect to size increase post-op.Best wishes,Sergio P.

Answer: How big will breasts be after silicone implants There are many factors that contribute to the final size and appearance of breasts after breast implant placement. Your height, weight, chest circumference and shape, volume of breast tissue, and degree of ptosis can all contribute to the final outcome. Certain bra manufacturer's bras are smaller than the stated size. Your current bra makes your actual breast size more like a B cup. Adding 350 cc to a B cup breast will probably get you to a D cup. Though it is difficult to estimate final breast size without an exam to determine your current breast volume. Trying on sizing implants in a non-padded bra may help with your final choice. This can be accomplished at home with a knee high nylon stocking filled with a measured amount of dry rice or oatmeal (in cc's), shape it into a round "implant." Implant size is an important decision to make and experimenting with sizers will help you make the right choice.

Answer: 350cc Silicone - Approximately How Big Will my Breasts Get? This is a good question and it seems obvious that by knowing the implant size you could then predict the final bra size. However, it's actually more difficult than that. Unfortunately, bra cup sizes are not standardized and vary between manufacturers. In my office, I encourage my patients to not focus on the cup size of the bra, but instead find a goal look that they like. If we accomplish that goal look, then the procedure is a success and we only find out the bra size once a formal bra fitting has been performed. It's a rough estimate, but in general every 150-200 cc of breast implant will increase the breasts size by one cup.

Answer: Size? It is somewhat difficult to predict, but most likely for you a cup size is going to be about 200cc. I would predict you will go up in size 1-2 cup sizes, depending on the bra, with implants of this size. I predict you will be in the full D cup size range.

Answer: Size after breast augmentation Much discussion surrounds breast size after surgery with my patients. Many factors come into play. It is not just as simple as using a larger implant. Tissue shape, skin excess or deficiency and implant style also are a factor and you should consider all prior to surgery.
