I'm 5'6" with a 34C breast cup. I want 425cc silcone breast implants. What cup size will I be afterwards?
Answer: Cup size after 425cc silicone breast implants? Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Given your desires, a breast augmentation, with an implant or fat grafting, would be an ideal procedure that would meet your expectations. Breast augmentation is now the most popular procedure performed in plastic surgery today. One tolerated very well by women with minimal downtime and high patient satisfaction. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, etc). Your height, weight, breast width, and body habitus will make a difference for which implant style/projection to choose. Implant profile will also make a difference on the projection, which will influence overall breast/cup size. I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you of results. Sizers are helpful during an in-office consultation. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. This is the most important determinant for the sizing of implants, which will provide the optimal result and most aesthetically-pleasing result for you.Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon well-versed in breast procedures who will examine and discuss with you the various options and factors to consider and help you decide which one will be the right one for you. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Sizing What I would ask you is what are you looking for in this surgery? What are you trying to accomplish? It is very difficult to say what cup size you would be. I would say you are looking for a look and you should try to obtain the look you are going for. If you came up with this 425 cc by trying on sizers then so be it. You will see what cup size you will be after the surgery. Every place you would go would have a different way of sizing you and would tell you that your are this or that cup size which would be different at other places. Having said that, you would likely be somewhere around a full D to DD, which are basically the same.

Answer: Breast implant size and cup after 425 cc. There is no one who can provide you with a definitive answer. You're best bet is to go to websites that stratify paitent's before and after pictures according to height, weight, implant, volume, etc. Try to search for individuals that are more similar to your size. Compare your body to their's. After a while you will gain an appreciation for the size you will become. Alternatively you can try commercially available breast implant sizers.

Answer: Implant Selection Process
Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

Answer: 425 cc after a "C" cup
Adding a 425 cc implant to a breast that is a "C" cup may bump you up to a"DD" or so. Hard to say for sure.
