Breast Implants
Breast Size After 340cc Implants?
You're right to be confused. There is no direct translation between number of cc's and what size bra you will wear (cup size). There are many many reasons for this. First - Bra manufacturers are all over the map when creating cup sizes. A "C" cup from one manufacturer may be a "D" from another.
From a breast augmentation standpoint your final cup size will depend on many factors including: your starting sizeimplant sizeimplant shapeamount of ptosis your breasts haveimplant positionskin elasticitychest wall shape and more.
Have a careful discussion with your plastic surgeon about what is possible in terms of size and shape. In our San Francisco area practice we encourage patients to bring in photos of breasts that they like AND don't like so we can try to achieve our patient's goals.
Clinical Context
Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the United States, with over 300,000 procedures annually. Modern breast implants are available in saline and silicone gel formulations, in round and anatomic (teardrop) shapes. Implant placement can be subglandular (over the muscle) or submuscular (partially or fully under the pectoralis muscle).
The American Board of Plastic Surgery maintains rigorous standards for certification that go well beyond state medical licensing requirements.
