What cup size is 550cc breast implants?

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.

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

 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

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!

Thank you for the question and photos. The
choosing of implants is a very crucial and is one that should be done through
an in-person exam. Various aspects could affect the choice of implants
like breast tissue, body measurements, desired end result and the like.
Bra sizes also differ from one manufacturer to another so a carefully
selected implant can be able to get you very close to that size. It is
always best to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon and have a full
evaluation for your concern. Best of luck. Dr. Michael Omidi.

Congratulations on your recent breast augmentation.Implant size does not accurately correlate to a bra size.It depends on your chest height, chest width, and existing breast tissue.It will also depends on the brands and styles of bras that you wear.You should go for the look that you like rather than the cup size.Good luck with your recovery.

Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Online consultants will not be able to predict, with any reliability/accuracy, what cup size you will end up wearing. You will need to go bra shopping/fitting; in my practice, I ask patients to wait 3 to 6 months before doing so. Don't be surprised, at that time, if you end up different wearing different bra cup sizes, depending on who makes the bra. Generally speaking, I ask my patients not to communicate their goals and/or evaluate the outcome of breast surgery in terms of achieving a specific cup size ( given the variability in the measurement of cup sizes…). Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with, regardless of the specific cup size achieved.
