I am slender, 5'6' ft tall, 118 Ibs with a cup size (approx 54 cc volume). I want to achieve an average C cup size, would 315cc do? Moderate or Moderate plus? Also, due to breast feeding, the nipples are a little elongated. Would the implants push them out?
Answer: Current breast volume is about 50cc (32A). If I add 315cc would that take me to an average 'C' cup? Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: Implant size
With no photos this is strictly a guess, but I think 315cc will put you into B/C cup. 350cc-375cc would put you into a medium C cup.

Answer: Bra size and Implant volume
At bra size 32, each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. A 315 cc implant will take you up about 3 cup sizes, from a A to a D. I recommend silicone gel implants placed in the retro-pectoral position. Moderate or plus does not matter when placed retro-pectoral. Depending on skin tone, it is possible that 315 cc implant will increase the tension of your skin and elongate your areola even more. This can be easily corrected at surgery.
Best Wishes,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Cup size t's hard to tell without photos. also, cup size can be quite subjective. I think that size implant will probably make you a small C cup and might suggest one size larger for an average C.

Answer: Implant volume and cup size
Cup sizes are very challenging to correlate with implant volume. As you have probably experienced when buying bras the cups sizes vary between department stores. On average 200 cc is about a cup size. The profile of the implant will have more impact on the volume of the breast above the nipple with the higher profile devices giving more upper pole fullness.
I decide on breast implant volume by measuring your breast and matching the appropriate implant to you. The profile is determined by the look you are trying to achieve.
Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate you and discuss the appropriate choices to help you achieve the look you desire.
If the nipple length is excessive a nipple reduction can be done at the time of breast augmentation. I hope this was helpful
