I have a breast augmentation Friday. I am currently a 36B and I’m getting 600cc implants. What bra size will I be?

Question

I know you won’t be able to give me an exact size just wondering a round about answer.

Wayne I. Yamahata, MD · Answer

It is not possible to accurately predict your bra size with the limited information provided. There are many factors beyond the volume of implants that determine the final bra size. However, a reasonable educated guess would be a three cup size increase.

Finny George, MD · Answer

Hi, thank you for your question. Your bra size will likely go up 3 cup sizes after your augmentation. Best of luck!

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. Because bra sizing is so subjective and varies by manufacturer, it is impossible to say what bra size you will be with a 600cc implant. Figure one cup size increase per 150-200cc of implant.

Peter D. Geldner, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. Generally speaking, 600 cc should increase you bra size by three to four cups. It will be larger at first and gradually subside. Best of luck!

Kevin G. Rose, MD · Answer

Hello, Thank you for your question. There are many factors (chest circumference, bra manufacturer, previous breast tissue) that go into bra sizing. There is no way to know exactly when discussing implant cc's. It is important that you discuss your desired outcomes with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and they can help guide you in implant selection. Best of luck to you!

Ted Eisenberg, DO, FACOS, FAACS · Answer

It is difficult to accurately answer without an in person evaluation.  After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size is right for them and what that size will be.

always tough to be specific without ht, wt and pictures. you will go up about 3 cup sizes on the average.

Richard A. Bartlett, MD · Answer

Dear Luminous248831, Thank you for your question. Bra sizes are not universal and do not correspond with implant sizing. 200cc is roughly one cup size, but this is not a guarantee. I suggest consulting with your Board Certified Operating Surgeon. Best of luck to you!

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

At size 36, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change and you will be a size DD.  Also, implants that large weigh over 1 lb each, will likely descend and you will have complications in the near future.  Implants are not lifetime devices.  8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years.  You may want to consider smaller implants to minimize complications.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  As you mentioned there is no direct correlation between implant cc size and bra size so it is impossible to know what your ultimate cup size will be.  As a back of the envelope calculation anywhere from 100-200cc can equate to a cup size based on a patient’s breast width.  Hope this helps.
