How many cubic centimeters make a cup size?
Breast implant volume or size is measured in cubic centimeters (cc).One study found that an average of 189 cc of saline was needed to go up one bra cup size. Increasing an A cup to a C cup required a total of 391 cc, or 196 cc per cup. Moving from a B cup to a D cup required a total of 448 cc, or 224 cc per cup. The largest change, an A cup increasing to a D cup, required 437cc, or 145 cc per cup. Remember, bra cup sizes are not standardized. A Victoria’s Secret C is not the same as a Warner’s C, for example.
