What breast cup size will I be after surgery? I'm getting 338g removed

The exact cup size you’ll be after surgery can be tricky to predict, as it depends on several factors such as your breast tissue composition, skin elasticity, and overall proportions. Cup size is a vague concept with not much standardization, but in general, 1 cup size typically corresponds to around 100-200 grams of tissue removed. Keep in mind that post-surgery swelling and changes in tissue may also affect the final size, and your surgeon will work with you to help determine the ideal size based on your body and goals. It’s also important to note that cup size isn’t the only factor in determining breast size—band size plays a role too. Be sure to discuss your specific size goals with your surgeon and share some "wish pics" so they can better understand your goals.

Your surgeon who has examined you will be the best one to tell you. However, in most women, each cup size is about 150 cc's unless you are very large or small. With 338 grams, you should lose 2 cups in size.

Cup sizes are hard to predict since they differ by manufacturer. Removing 338g will likely bring you down approximately 2-3 cup sizes. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about what you can expect in terms of results. It is important that you are comfortable and confident as you prepare for surgery.
