I'm currently a small A cup with 30 band. I am very petite, and my stats are 4'11 and 90 lbs, my ribcage is 24" and my BWD is 11. I'm going to get 160 cc's, allergan natrelle style 410 MM, textured anatomicals under the muscle. What size would I end up with? I heard that implants under the muscle would loose 25 cc, should I get 185 cc's instead? How many cc's is one cup size?
Answer: How many cc's of a breast implant is one cup size? Generally 150 to 200 cc's will increase your breast one cup size. However, the larger the chest size and breast size, the more cc's it takes to a make a cup size. Also bra cup sizes are not truly standardized.To get the best idea of what implant size you would like, have your PS place "sizers," not implants, in a bra. Put on a T-shirt and see what appeals to you the most. Try not to get too excited about the cup size. It's what looks the best to you that counts. Relate to your PS exactly what your expectations are.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Bra size after augmentation Hello and thank you for your question! This is a very commonly asked question. I tell my patients not to get so caught up in the cup size because a "D" will look different on different people. Many times, what women think a "D" will look like on them, ends up being smaller than they would have expected. For this reason, I have my patients try on implants and explain that if they find an implant size they believe to be "perfect" then they should go up a little bit more because about 20% of the volume disappears once the implant is placed. I have had VERY happy patients by having them choose their implant size in this manner. If my patients really want a rough idea on cup size then I use the rule similar to others who have already commented. About 150cc takes one up about a cup size. the smaller your chest diameter and the thinner you are the closer this estimate usually will be. If one of my patients was deciding between 160cc and 185cc I would inform them that 25cc is a VERY SMALL difference and that they shouldn't loos too much sleep over this. 25cc is LESS THAN A HALF of a SHOT GLASS!! If I HAD to estimate then I would say you are likely to be in between a B-C cup but closer to a B. Now, this also depends on if you TRULY are an "A" cup and how close you are to being a "B" cup. I hope this helps and good luck with your breast augmentation surgery.

Answer: CC's + Cup Size Thank you for your question. 100-150cc's will bring you up a cup size generally speaking. Everyone is different anatomically, so this would be a great question for your surgeon after he or she takes your measurements.

Answer: Breast Implants Thank you for your great question! In general, 150-200 cc may correspond to 1 cup size. But, there are many factors that go into the volume of implant and the translated increase in cup size.. such as: frame size, chest width, breast height, as well as native breast tissue present. Implant type also plays a role as some have more projection (fuller) and some are wider at the base. A simple but powerful way to get an idea is to try on implant sizers with your bra on in the PS office. I wish you the best of luck!

Answer: How many cc's are in a cup size? That is a tough questions with no real answer. Cup sizes are not standard and if you go from store to store you will be measured at a different cup size. Cup size is also matched with your chest size in some bras making it even more difficult. About 150 ccs should increase a person a cup size, but I tend to use sizers to help me gauge how much a patient wants to increase their size. With that knowledge, and knowing that I am going under the muscle, I use intraoperative sizing to give the patient their desired preoperative wishes. I hope that helped!

Answer: CC's in a cup size Remember that cup sizes are determined by bra manufacturers and do not actually correspond to volume, only projection from the cheat wall. Every bra maker has subtle differences in their patterns and so different amount of breast tissue will fit in any cup size. Years ago there were some interesting papers that attempted to correlate breast weight to cup sizes for breast reductions. They showed that the most important variable was the band length. What would be one cup size in a 40 inch band, would be nearly three cups for a 30 inch band. For someone your size, I would say that between 125 and 150 cc's would equal one cup. Your best bet is to try on sizers until you see how you want to look. Photographic three dimensional simulators help too. As for the sub muscular versus subglandular placement, if it's a biplanar placement, it won't matter much. If it's totally sub muscular, you loose about 25 cc.
