Thanks for your question.  There is no exact correlation between implant size and final cup size.  There are other contributing factors like your own breast tissue and the type of bra purchased.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your surgery. I would ask that you try and focus on the appearance of your surgical results and not the anticipated cup size.  Though I understand how cup size is a relative way to discuss a breast's size, different manufacturers vary on how their brand determines a particular cup size.  Allow your results to mature over the next six months then fit an appropriate bra to your breasts for support. Hope this helps

Luke J. Curtsinger, MD · Answer

The number of cc in an implant does not alone determine the breast size. The breast size is determined by the native breast plus the implant added to it. Typically a 550 mL implant will take a breast up more than two cup sizes, and tall patients require bigger implants than short patients to achieve a proportionate size.  Once you have implants, try on bras and wear what is comfortable. Breast volume and proportions are more important than the cup size on the box.

There is really no way to say for sure. It depends on your body type, and existing breast tissue. Frankly, cup size is never a good indicator of actual breast volume since they vary between bra manufacturers. As long as you clearly communicated your desired result with your surgeon, you should achieve the look that you wanted. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.It depends on your chest wall measurements and existing breast tissue as implant size does not accurately correlate to a bra size.  It also depends on the brand and style of bra you wear as size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!
