700cc breast implants - how big does that typically translate when it comes to breast size for a natural A cup?

Hello, there is no way to predict your final cup size because it depends not just on your implant choice, but also your pre-existing breast tissue and the type of bra you purchase.

Breast implant size is discussed in detail with my patients. I listen to their goals, ask them to try on sizers then use the sizers in the operating room to finalize the size. The ultimate decision is made by the patient but I have final say. This process has worked well to make patients the right size not too small or too big.

Hello,Thank you for your question. As others have suggested, 700cc could be an unrealistic jump in size, however the implant s which will fit depend very much on your current measurements and anatomy. The best way to find out what implant sizes and shapes are best for you is to book your consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who will measure you carefully and discuss your aesthetic goals with you. My patients find it helpful to try on the implant sizers in the office with a form fitting T-Shirt and get a feel for how they will look.Bra manufacturers vary and sizing isn't standardised so there is no way to guarantee you a cup size before surgery. All the best

Typically 700 cc implants would translate to a D or greater, but that really depends on your body proportions. On a typical frame of an A cup patient it might not be possible. It is really important for your breast implants to be proportional to your body frame. Implants that are too big for your body can cause unwanted back pain or problems with the incision, or just an unnatural look in general. It is possible to do butt implants at the same time but special positioning will be necessary postoperatively. 

Thank you for the question. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. Ultimately, careful 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 know words such as “natural” or "D or DD 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 larger breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Dear Undead,Implants that large in an A cup breast will likely look ridiculous and may not even be possible.  Gluteal implants can be placed at the same time as breast implants and you would have to stay on your sides to avoid pressure on both.  Good luck!

Thanks for your question.Going from a natural A cup to having 700cc implants placed may be difficult (sometimes impossible) and lead to round beach balls.  It depends on your frame and skin texture/laxity.  Seek out several board certified Plastic Surgeons to form up a decision.Best of luck.Dr. T

Going from a true A cup to a 700cc implant may not be the best choice, assuming that size could be crammed inside your breasts. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon, and discussing all your options. During the consultation, you will be measured and can try on a variety of sizes that would best suit your frame. For most women, especially those with an A cup, 700cc's is too large and heavy for their frame and tissue.

First, I doubt as an "A" cup you can get a 700 cc implant in and have a nice result.  The tissues will likely not stretch enough to accommodate it.  Second it is very difficult to guesstimate cup size from implant volume used because bras do not match up to the volume.
