Hi. On my last meeting with a surgeon i was told i would need abt 750cc's/800. Im currently a 38b. 5'7 tall and 190 lbs. Broad shoulders. Abt how many cc's is there in one cup size for someone my size? Hoping to be at least 38DD. Also wondering what profile i should go for, and if i should have different sizes to correct them. Thanks:)

Answer: Breast Implant Size Choice Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Only guesses regarding cupsize are possible unfortunately. With a wider ribcage and bra band, typically, larger volumes are required to achieve the same cup "letter". Your Implants should be selected based on your breast base widths and 800 would be the largest possible for silicone cohesive gel.I recommend that you share your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon and let them advise you.All the best

Answer: How many cc's is there in one cup size for someone my size? - 750cc's? Thank you for the question. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. In other words, I do not think that the generalizations of "150 cc or 200 cc equates to 1 cup" hold any validity or is helpful in any specific way. There are simply too many variables such as a specific patient's dimensions and the variability in bra manufacturer's cup sizes… Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of know words such as “natural” or "DD cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to larger breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
