The CC System
Breast implant volume is measured in cubic centimetres (cc). One cc equals one millilitre of volume. Common augmentation sizes range from approximately 200cc (modest augmentation) to 800cc (very large); sizes above 1,000cc are considered large implants. A 350cc implant contains 350 millilitres of fill — slightly more than a standard can of soda. The cc number is the definitive specification of implant size, but it tells you nothing about the visual result by itself, because the same cc volume looks different on different people.
Profiles: Low, Moderate, High, Extra High
Profile refers to the relationship between the implant's base width and its projection (how far forward it extends). A low profile implant is wide and flat — maximising coverage of a wide chest with minimal projection. A high profile implant is narrower at the base and projects further forward — creating more dramatic projection on a narrower chest. Moderate profile is the middle ground. Most augmentations use moderate or high profile implants. The right profile depends on your chest width, desired projection, and natural breast dimensions.
CC vs Cup Size
There is no direct conversion between cc and cup size — it is one of the most common misconceptions in augmentation. The visual result of a given cc volume depends on: your existing chest width (a 350cc implant looks very different on a 32-inch vs 38-inch chest); your existing natural breast tissue (more tissue means more total volume and visual size); your height and overall body proportions; and the profile of the implant. General rough guides exist (e.g., approximately 130–150cc per cup size increase) but these are highly individual approximations, not reliable rules.
How to Choose Your Size
The best size selection method is using actual sample sizers in a bra during your consultation. Put the sizer in a bra in your target size, then wear a fitted top over it — this gives a far better visual indication than any chart or calculator. Bring reference photos to your consultation. Many surgeons use 3D imaging software to preview approximate outcomes. Discuss your lifestyle — very large implants affect exercise, posture, and clothing options significantly.
