Breast implant sizes do not correlate to bra cup sizes. The same implant size will look different on each individual person. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and try on implant sizes. I also recommend bringing in a photo to guide your PS on what look you are hoping to achieve.
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. The increase in size will depend on your preoperative size, chest width, implant type/projection, and height/weight. However, on cup size increase should be accomplished with that size implant.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. Preoperative sizing may be available and helpful to both you and your surgeon. 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!
Thank you for your question. Without an in-person exam, I would not be able to tell you for sure. Approximately 200cc will increase your breasts by 1 cup size. The best thing to do to determine what size is best for you and will give you the results you're wanting, is to go in for a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and try on the implants.If you would like more information regarding breast augmentation, you can download a free copy of my Breast Augmentation Planner.

I would say simply that if you are a true 34C a 300 cc implant should take you up to a nice D cup. Maybe a DD in some bra manufacturers. I don't guaranty cup sizes as they vary for bra to bra but try on the 300cc implant in a 34D bra and see if that fits for you or a soft bra and see if you like the size by looking at yourself in a mirror.
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to say exactly what cup size would a 300 cc implant would make you. There are many variations between manufacture's cup sizes. Additionally, women have different anatomical dimensions such as breast base diameter, breast volumes and chest wall dimensions. I always have women try to focus on the look they desire rather than the cup size. By having them bring in pictures, trying on special sizer implants in the office, taking measurements in the office and using sizer implants in surgery to fine tune the look they desire, they achieve the size, look and inevitably the cup size. I usually find the actual cup size they eventually go into is a little bigger than they initially asked for, but it is the look they wanted. Have a good open conversation with your plastic surgeon to guide you in your implant selection.
