What size is a 395 allergen implant. Is it a small, c, full c or small D.

Just remember that cc's do not translate into cup sizes. Cup sizes are determined by bra manufacturers and vary from one manufacturer to the next. More importantly, make sure your board certified plastic surgeon takes the time to properly evaluate and measure you so you get the ideal implant size for you based upon your breast measurements/breast pocket. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  When it comes to implant size, it is common for patients to believe the number of cc's in an implant will dictate the cup size they will become.  Many factors come into play when cup size is determined.  A 395 cc implant on a person with some breast tissue the may make them a full C small D and on another patient that has minimal breast tissue would be smaller.  It would be best to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and try on sizers to see what implant size helps you to achieve your overall goal look.Best regards,Dr. Lane F.

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunatley, I could not tell you for sure or give you an accurate cup size.  The cup size really just depends on the bra itself, they can all vary, also it depends on how much breast tissue you have to begin with.  I can tell you that a 395cc implant is approximately 2 cup sizes.If you would like more information regarding breast augmentation, you can download a free copy of my breast augmetnation planner at ABetterBreast.com.Best of luck. 

There is no direct correlation of implant size and bra cup size.Generally adding 125cc will increase
your bra size a by 1/2 to 1 cup size. Realize that there are no
standardized cup dimensions of a "C" or a "D" or a "DD". It varies
depending on chest wall size, bra company and individual style within a
company.

The best cosmetic result in any
particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors,
including: your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough
discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of
the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just
about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which
include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need
to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of
various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing suit
at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal
implant.

Keep in mind that following the
advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you
what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your
desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons
of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest
you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your
concerns with that surgeon in person.

Thank you for the question. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. Despite your good description of goals, online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. 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, and computer imaging) 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. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "full C or small D cup” or  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 breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes.

A 395 cc implant does not represent a cup size. Cup size is a somewhat objective measurement of the perceived projection and width of the breast as it would relate to how the breast occupies and fills the cup of a bra.Some basic guidelines are as follows: 1. 200 cc of implant volume represents approximately one unit of cup size.  In other words a 200cc implant will increase the cup size of a person who starts out as a 34 B to a 34 C.2. So a person who receives a 395 cc implant can expect to have approximately a 2 cup size increase. 3. The 200 cc per cup size rule can be modified by other factors such as the amount of skin laxity of the breast, the tightness of the skin and the shape and width of the breast prior to surgery.

Thanks for your question. It is a very common misconception that implant size (in ccs) equates in some way with bra cup size. That implant may be a large B or small C on one patient and a D on another.
