Will 375cc take me to a full C cup?

Hello and thanks for your question. Great question! Being online, there are limitations for answering your questions because I cannot perform a physical examination of your breasts and measure your breast width and actual size. Volume sizing in the office is a key for you to see how different implant sizes affect your breast and how they look on your body. I do encourage patients to choose the breast implant volume which looks the best and forget about bra sizes because if you choose based simply on bra sizes, then you're limiting how beautiful you could be in the end! This is how I do sizing and shape in my office and patients find these tips to be reliable:1) Guiding patients to explore reasonable options for breast implant size, usually two to three similar sizes, which allows the patient to visualize how different volumes affect their breast cup. 2) The best guide for a final breast implant size recommendation is derived using measurements from the patient’s own breasts and chest. 3) When measurements are considered then options for sizes can be presented. 4) I use the Mentor Volume Sizing System of breast sizers to demonstrate how these different volumes will look on a patient’s body. 5) This methods offers good reliability and is simple to use, but is not perfect.You will have to try the two different sizes you mentioned to find the best fit with your PS present in the room. When patients feel unsure about a size and shape, we ask them back to the office to try sizing until they're very confident with the choice they're making.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Hello, there is no perfect correlation between implant volume and final cup size because there are other variables, like the person's pre-existing breast and chest shape, and the type of bra worn.  Bra manufacturers have different cup sizing.

Thank you for the question. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. Online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "full C or D cup” or "ridiculously big" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
