Will 400cc of saline be enough to for a full c from an a cup? (photos)

400 cc high profile implants may even get you into the D cup range.  You already have ample breast tissue so you need to take this into consideration.  More like 325-350 for a C cup.  Best wishes, Dr. T. 

Depending on the individual anatomy and desired results, estimations and measurements and the decision about the type of the implants to be used should be made for each patient individually along with a detailed mutual conversation and a physical examination. The elements that form up the breast shape and size and the overall frame can be different in each person. It will be best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Thanks for your question. In general it takes about 200CC to get to the next cup size. As you can appreciate from all of these responses, cup size is very subjective. Achieving a desired look using photos is more helpful. You appear to have a great shape and good symmetry and will do very well. Personally I would use silicone smooth round gel implants to get a softer feel and more natural look. They also have less tendency to ripple, no deflation and less incidence of capsular contracture. Best of Luck!

Your question is a common one in that most patients want to know how many cc's it takes to become a certain bra size.  There is no standardization of bra sizes across the different companies, so a D cup in a Victoria's Secret bra is different than a D cup in, for example, a Maidenform bra. That being said, the most common size implant size for women who are typically an A cup who want to be a full C cup is about 350-400cc. If you are already wearing a C cup bra, you might want implants that are not quite that large. If you are looking for projection, ask your surgeon about the different shapes of implants based on your chest measurements. You may want to ask to try on different sized implants so that you get an idea of the result you want. I hope that this helps with your decision!

No surgeon can guarantee a cup size. However, I think that 400cc's will fit you well, and I think that you will be at least a C cup. Good luck!
