Going from 480cc (600cc) to 300cc, what would my new cup size be?

Thanks for your question! There is no exact answer to give you until you get fitted after surgery. Generally speaking, dropping 300cc should take you down about 2 cup sizes. Good luck!

Hello! That really does depend on a number of factors such as the type of lift as well as the bra you are wearing. Unfortunately, plastic surgeons quite often do not speak in terms of cup sizes as bra sizes vary depending on the manufacturer and brassiere type. In addition, we also tend to remove some breast tissue as well as skin during a lift which can impact the final cup size. Finally, weight gain or loss also influences the final breast size. To simplify things, every 150cc difference is typically thought as a full cup size. Good Luck!

Hello, thank you for your question. That would be difficult for us to predict. Is the surgeon planning on removing some breast tissue? I would suggest you speak to your plastic surgeon since it would be tough to assess. If you figure 100cc is approx half a cup size.

Dear spoa744,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

After 18 years your natural breast tissue may have thinned. With an examination your surgeon can estimate the amount of natural tissue that remains. It's difficult to predict exact cup size as the bra fit seems to differ to a degree by the manufacturer. The lift will only remove excess skin, not breast tissue but you may find the breasts sit better in a bra when they have been lifted.

Bras are not made to one standardized sizing, but you should drop about 2 cups in size with the implant exchange. However, with such large implants, your own tissue has been thinned and compressed so you may have less actual breast tissue.
