Answer: Size predictions Patients often think in terms of cup size when considering augmentation. Unfortunately, devices are sized in terms of milliliters (cc) of volume. This can lead to some confusion when sizing. Additionally, it is important to remember that cup size itself is not standardized with variations from one manufacturer to another. Unfortunately, as many women can attest their cup size in an industry leader such as VS is not necessarily transferable to another brand.

Answer: Implants and predicting breast size Thank you for your question. Choice of implant size is based on physical examination findings and patient goals. An accurate assessment would involve obtaining a full history and physical, including breast base diameter measurements. In regards to patient goals, unfortunately, discussing cup sizes can be misleading as there are no standardized bra cup sizes. A "C-cup" from one bra manufacturer may be significantly different from a "C-cup" from another bra company. This variability makes it next to impossible to discuss and predict cup size after augmentation mammoplasty. I recommend that you review photographs of pre-operative and post-operative breast augmentation patients to help get a sense of what size implants may attain the appearance that you are looking to achieve (the "loveyourlook.com" online database would be a good place to start, and will have a number of patients that have had 285mL implants placed for you to compare). Base your goals on the photographic results as opposed to cup size. You can then review the photographs and discuss your desires with your surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: What size will I be with 285cc of silicone implants? Thank you for your question. There is often this misunderstanding that a cc size equals a cup size and this is just not true. Everyone is different and there is no formula to determine the outcome. You need to discuss with your surgeon your goals and objectives and allow him or her to guide you through the process of implant selection. If you want a rough estimate, I usually tell patients to consider 150-200 cc per cup size. With you starting as an A, you would be around a 2-2.5 cup size change, or maybe somewhere around a C+, but this depends on many factors. The best thing you can do is make sure the surgeon doing your surgery is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and you have taken the time with him or her to carefully select your implant. If you have not met these suggestions, I would encourage you to strongly consider rescheduling your procedure. Best of luck!
