Breast Augmentation: What Cup Size Will I Be?

Breast Augmentation Size

In breast augmentation, one critical thing to understand about this question is that a pair of 350cc breast implants may increase the breast size of one woman quite differently than on another. Since the body of every woman is unique, of course, breast implants once placed may have a different effect on you than on some breast implant photo you found on the internet. Only your plastic surgeons can adequately explain what this breast implant size will specifically impact your breast.



We can, however, arrive at some estimation of how a breast implant of that size will grow your breast size based upon a few important factors.

1) What is your current bra cup size?
2) Will your breast implants be placed above or under the muscle?
3) Will you be using a low profile or high profile breast implant?

To the first point of current breast size, you might estimate a 350cc breast implant to increase your bust size by approximately 2 cups. As a very general rule of thumb, it is often considered that for every 175cc to 200cc in breast implant volume, a woman might experience approximately one bra cup size larger. The 350 therefore would fall into the low range of increasing your breast size by about two cups. If you currently wear a AA cup bra today, growing two cup sizes would be in the range of a C cup, for example.

The second mentioned factor of breast implant profile is important, especially in regards to your breast width. If you have a smaller bra band size such as a 32 to 34inch, for example, a higher profile breast implant is generally used in order to achieve a C cup in bra size. In general, the higher the profile, the smaller the width is of the breast implant. For a woman with a 36 to 38 inch bra band size, a lower profile may generally be recommended by the plastic surgeon.

The last factor mentioned above regards the breast implant placement. Most women decide to have the breast implant placed under the muscle. In this case, a slightly larger implant is needed to achieve the same result as a breast implant placed over the muscle. Many doctors suggest that the difference between the two placements may be as much as 15 to 20 per cent. In other words, a 350cc breast implant under the muscle will likely be similar to 300cc over the muscle due to the compression of the implant under the muscle.

One good way to estimate how your own body will be impacted with breast implants is to use a breast implant sizing system. The new sizing systems available today allow you to try on a wide variety of breast implant sizes before you make your final decision. An important task in the breast augmentation process, it can also be fun to experiment with a variety of cup sizes.

In this case you might want to try a range of sizers from 300cc to 400cc in 50cc increments. Breast implant sizers, sometimes known as tester breast implants, are designed to be worn outside your body but within a bra. Designed with comparable volume to corresponding breast implants, the sizers will give you a good idea of how these sizes will increase your bra size.
