Are you considering breast implants and are wondering how large to go? Breast implants are measured in ccs, which is an indicator of their volume. What makes this decision tricky is that a certain cc does not correspond to a certain cup size, because the patient's natural breast size also impacts the post-surgery size of the breast.
Implants over 400cc are generally considered to be large implants. 450Cc implants may take a woman from an A cup to a D cup, for example. If you are currently a B cup, you may be DD after breast surgery with 450cc implants. These are just guidelines; there are several factors that can affect these estimates, such as the exact size of your current breasts and whether the implants are placed over the muscle or under it.
Is 450cc for you?
How can you be sure that 450cc breast implants will give you the bra cup size you desire? Many surgeons have prosthetic devices or actual implants on hand that will help to give you an idea of the size of these implants. You should try wearing several different sizes, including some that are at least 50ccs both larger and smaller than the 450cc breast implants are you considering. This will help to give you an idea of whether 450cc is the best implant size for you.
There are also other ways to come to a decision about the right implant size. Look at before and after images of women who have started with a similar profile and received this size of implant. Your breast augmentation surgeon can also help to predict whether you will be happy with 450cc breast implants, given your aesthetic goals.
