5”2 / 120 / 35 yrs / 34-36 C Cup size now before breast feeding three kids I was a natural 34 DD. I am looking for implant size recommendation. I want to be a large DD cup size. My doctor is saying between 470cc or 500cc Silicone Gel. I am worried about being too big. I want to be able to purchase DD bras and not a E bra size. Please any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Answer: What implant size would get me from C to DD? Plastic surgeons generally do not promise a cup size as there is so much variability. In the most general of terms, around 125-150 cc increases account for about a cup size.

Answer: Size I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon , being examined and measured, and actually trying on sizes to see what you like. I suggest not going to large, or you will sag again over time.

Answer: How to determine cup size based on implant volume It is very difficult to transfer cup size into volume (cc or milliliters). For your frame, cups size would be between 130-150 ml in my opinion. To achieve 2+ cup sizes up from current size 34C I would suggest 300-375 range. Good luck.

Answer: Implant volume and cup size At size 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. At size 36, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. From this, you can determine the size required to reach your goal. However, you have not provided photographs. After pregnancies and breastfeeding, you may need a simultaneous lift, You may be better off with smaller implants and lift.

Answer: Nobody Knows, including your doctor Its 2021, and my colleagues should not guestimate an implant size to match a requested bra cup. That is an impossible task, as there is no formula (despite some surgeons giving one) that works, and too often leads to wrong size surgery, about 20% of all unplanned reoperations. Further, the tag on the back of an undergarment should not be anyone's goal. What you need to do is find a surgeon who uses purpose built sizers of known volume for you to use (by placing them in a tight fitting sports bra without padding) and look into a mirror. This will give usable information for the surgeon to accurately chose the appropriate sized implant.
