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.

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.
