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 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.
