One important thing to understand about this question is that 350cc breast implants can increase the size of one woman’s breasts very differently than another. Since every woman’s body is unique, of course, breast implants, once placed, can have a different effect on you than some breast augmentation photo you’ve found on the internet. Only your plastic surgeon can adequately explain how this implant size will specifically affect her breast. However, we can come up with an estimate of how an implant of that size will increase her breast size based on a few important factors.

1) What is your current bra cup size?

2) Will the breast implant be placed over or under the muscle?

3) Will you use a low or high profile implant?

current bra size

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

Profile: Low, Moderate, High

The second mentioned factor of the implant profile is important, especially when it comes to the width of your breasts. If you have a smaller bra band size, like 32 to 34 inches, for example, a higher profile implant is usually used to achieve a C cup in the bra size. In general, the higher the profile, the smaller the width of the implant. For women with a bra band size of 36 to 38 inches, a lower profile is generally recommended.

Above or below placement

The final factor mentioned above concerns the placement of the implants. Most women choose to place the implant under the muscle. In this case, a slightly larger implant is needed to achieve the same result as an implant placed over the muscle. Many doctors suggest that the difference between the two locations can be as much as 15 to 20 percent. In other words, a 350cc implant under the muscle will likely be similar to a 300cc over the muscle due to compression of the implant under the muscle.

Use of meters

A good way to estimate how your own body will be affected by implants is to use an implant sizing system. The new systems available today allow you to try a wide variety of cup sizes before making your final decision.

In this case, you may want to try a range of gauges from 300cc to 400cc in 50cc increments. Implant sizers, also known as trial implants, are designed to be worn outside the body but inside a bra. Similar in volume to a breast implant, the sizer will give you a good idea of ​​how these sizes will increase your bra size.

After trying implant sizes, you may like the look of a given implant size, for example, 400cc or 375cc. After showing your plastic surgeon the gauge on your breast size bra, they may suggest that you will need to use a larger implant size to achieve the same effect as the gauge. This could be especially true if the implant is placed under the muscle. Again, generally speaking, if you like a 400cc size, your surgeon might suggest that you use 15 to 20 percent more on actual implants to achieve a gauge-like look.

These are all rules of thumb, of course, and only you and your doctor can make the decision about how a specific implant, with a specific profile, will increase your cup size.
