Revision Size Increase. How Many Cup Sizes Would a 50cc and 100cc Increase Be?

There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps. Good luck!

Without photos or knowledge of your existing breast volume it is impossible to tell. And, there is no real correlation between breast cup size and a specific volume. The same glass of water is a much bigger addition to a 1 gallon jug than a bathtub. It is all relative. Try and communicate with your surgeon so he/she knows what you want in terms of outcome - don't go looking for absolutes. But for reference, in most normal sized women, a 50 cc increase will almost be imperceptible, unless you compare photos closely.

Best of luck,
