From 36 A to 750CC ultra high. What cup size will I be?

At size 36, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 750 cc implants would take you up 3 cup sizes to a D. 750 cc implants weigh 1 1/2 lbs each, will not fit retro-pectoral so they will have to be placed in front of the muscle and will most likely descend inferiorly and laterally down the chest wall. These will not be stable mechanically and will most likely need a revision in a short period of time. I strongly recommend you consider smaller size implants if you want long term results. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years.

None of the modalities to approximate final results from breast implants are 100% accurate; they merely facilitate the patient and the board certified PS concurring on the size and type of breast implant which will come the closest to reaching the patient's goal.
My patients prefer to try on implant sizers under garments they typically wear to determine if they fit as expected and help allay some of their trepidation associated with this decision.
Breast implant size has nothing to do with bra cup size - which varies with each bra manufacturer. The average implant volume placed in the US is 350 cc. A very general estimate is that one cup size is 150 to 200 cc of volume, but realize that no direct correlation exists between the two. I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy.
Realize that implants of 600cc and higher will create more tissue thinning over time, have more potential for rippling, more potential for bottoming out, greater likelihood of breast lift revisions, etc.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Unfortunately there is no direct correlation between implant cc volume size and ultimate bra cup measurement.  Best to think of it as you will fit your bras to your breasts instead of your breasts to a bra. Hope this helps.

Hello there and thanks for sharing this question. I always tell my patients I can never guarantee a cupsize because it will simply depend on where you buy your bra from. What you have to like is your breast volume. If you are happy with the volume, the cupsize doesn’t matter.

Dear Thriving1282,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
