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. Given 
your desires, a breast augmentation, with an implant or fat grafting, 
would be an ideal procedure that would meet your expectations.  Breast 
augmentation is now the most popular procedure performed in plastic 
surgery today.  One tolerated very well by women with minimal downtime 
and high patient satisfaction.  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, etc). Implant 
profile will also make a difference on the projection, which will 
influence overall breast/cup size.    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 of results.  
Sizers are helpful during an in-office consultation.  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.  This is the most important determinant 
for the sizing of implants, which will provide the optimal result and 
most aesthetically-pleasing result for you.Consult with a 
board-certified plastic surgeon well-versed in breast procedures who 
will examine and discuss with you the various options and factors to 
consider and help you decide which one will be the right one for you.  
Hope me that this helps!   Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Thank you for your question.  Generally speaking 200 cc of implant should increase cup size by 1 however understand that different manufacturer's label breast bra sizes differently.  The most important thing is for you to choose the look that you want to achieve.  Your plastic surgeon should do a breast implant sizing system evaluation in which various size specially shaped breast implants are placed into your bra to allow you to see how you will look with each size.For more information on choosing your breast implant size please read the following link:
