How much difference will 225cc make when it comes to cup size? Will it be about one and a half cup bigger than what I have now?

There is no standard in the bra industry or in the medical world as to what volume equals a cup size. In general, 225 mL would not be expected to achieve a cup and I have increase in breast volume. There are many sizing techniques that surgeons utilize to determine the size that will achieve the desired result. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon with regards to this.

Thanks for your question! I agree that there is really no good correlation between bra cup size and implant cc's: there r so many factors at play. I really like the Mentor gel sizing system: I think that it gives patients a good idea of what size they want to b, & can "in vivo" c what the implant will look like. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your question.  There is no perfect correlation between implant size and cup size because your original breast size and shape, and the type of bra you buy all affect cup size.  However, during a consultation you can try on breast implant sizers (inserted into an unpadded bra) and this will give you an idea of your final breast size.  Other techniques to pick implants include before and after photos, virtual 3D imaging of your breasts, and of course the surgeon's input based on your dimensions.
