Can someone tell me what 325cc is in a bra size?

Question

Ram Kalus, MD, FACS · Answer

It all depends on where you are starting out. A preop AA with 325 cc implants and be a B cup or a C cup. A Preop B cup can be a C or D or DD with 325.If you are seeking breast enhancement don't focus on implant size. Instead, seek a consultation by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you and make recommendations on best options. Good luck.

Bra size cannot be equated to ccs unfortunately. There are variables that can make two different people a different cup size even with the same sized implant such as how much breast tissue they have to begin with, their body type, their tissue characteristics. Implant size selection not only depends on your personal preference, but it also depends on your unique measurements. A thorough consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will allow you to communicate what your desired result is and will inform you as to what is possible to achieve your goals. We have a device called the Vectra 3D imaging system that shows you what you will look like with any implant. Our patients are very happy with the choice of implant they make when using this system. To learn more about how to choose the right size implant, you can read "A Comprehensive Guide to Breast Augmentation."

Thank you for the question.   There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. For example, I do not think that the generalizations of "200 cc equates to 1 cup" hold any validity or are helpful in any specific or practical way.  In my practice, I ask patients not to communicate their goals, or evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed, based on cup size references.
Ultimately, careful selection of plastic surgeon and communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging)  as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) 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 "C or D cup” 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 sizing concerns) helps. Best wishes.

It all depends . Are you starting with an A cup, B cup or C cup and then adding 325 cc. Do you have a 32, 34 or 36 band?   Do you buy at Macy's or Victoria's secret?  Review in person with a board-certified plastic surgeon for best advice.

Thank you for your question.  The difficulty in predicting Bross size of a breast implant is that bra manufacturers lability same cup size differently indifferently styles of bra.  It really is difficult if not impossible to predict.  A very rough nonscientific approximation is that 150-200 cc of breast implant may increase you one cup size and the same style and manufacture of bra that you currently wear.  To learn more about sizing of breast implants please read below:
