Breast augmentation refers to surgical and non-surgical procedures aimed at altering the size and shape of breasts. While this guide explores C Cup breasts, it is important to note that the right breast shape and size varies from one person to another and that there is no such thing as the ‘perfect size’.
At Cadogan Clinic, our team of experienced surgeons will thoroughly discuss the breast augmentation procedures with you to ensure that you pick the one that’s the most suitable for you.
C cup breasts are a specific breast size that is often sought after in breast augmentation procedures for their balanced and proportionate appearance. They are characterised as medium-sized breasts with a volume of around 750-850ml.
This size is considered by many to be the ideal middle ground, offering a fuller shape without the extremes of being too large or too small. Achieving C cup boobs involves a combination of factors, including the individual's body frame, existing breast tissue, and personal aesthetic goals.
It is worth noting that the C cup breast size is defined not only by volume but also by the proportion of the breast in relation to the chest circumference. Cup sizes are relative to band sizes, therefore, a C cup represents a certain volume increase from the band measurement.
The options for C Cup breast augmentation include silicone implants and fat transfer procedures. Silicone implants tend to be popular as a result of their durability and the natural feel they provide. However, the right procedure for you depends on your individual preferences and goals.
C Cup breasts are considered the perfect breast size because of the aesthetic and functional benefits they offer:
Proportional to body size
On average, C cup boobs look symmetrical and proportional on most body types. They are usually not too tiny or overly large for many women's frames.
Balance of volume and perkiness
C cup-sized breasts typically have a balance of breast volume and perkiness. They are fuller than what are considered as small breasts but unlike larger cup sizes that can sag with time, C cups often maintain a fairly firm but rounded shape.
Versatility in styling
People with C cup size breasts can have more variety in their fashion choices. These breasts are not so large that they restrict clothing options. At the same time, they are sizable enough to fill out tops and dresses well.
Feminine look
The volume often gives C cups a feminine, womanly look. They provide definition and lift to the upper body.
Less back pain and discomfort
Large breasts often lead to back, shoulder, and neck aches because they tend to be heavy to carry. But C cups are usually not heavy enough to cause pain or significant discomfort.
There is a multitude of factors influencing a woman’s breast size, including genetic predispositions, changes in body weight, the natural ageing process, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and lifestyle factors like smoking.
Here is a closer look at each factor:
Here’s a step-by-step guide to measuring your cup size:
Measuring the Ribcage:
Start by measuring the circumference of your ribcage, directly below your breasts. This measurement is your band size.
Measuring the Bust:
Measure the fullest part of your bust using a flexible tape measure, ensuring it goes around both the front and back, capturing the complete circumference of your bust at its fullest point.
Calculating Cup Size:
The difference in inches between your band size and your bust measurement will indicate your cup size. Each inch represents a step up in cup size.
Cup Size Guidelines:
This method allows you to measure your cup size at home by providing a straightforward approach to understanding your breast size better. The right bra size can significantly enhance comfort and support, contributing to overall well-being and confidence.
You can get C Cup breasts with the help of common breast enlargement options like implants, fat transfer and breast lifts:
One way to enhance your breast to a C cup size is to get a C cup breast augmentation. C cup breast implants are silicone or saline prosthetics inserted into the breasts to increase volume and fullness. Implants come in different shapes and sizes to achieve aesthetic goals like subtle lift or dramatic enlargement. When properly sized, implants can safely take a woman from an A or B cup to a C or even D cup.
The recovery time and cost of breast augmentation vary based on the type of implant and other factors. You can speak to one of our surgeons to get professional help relating to your situation.
Fat transfer to breast involves liposuctioning fat from areas like the thighs, then injecting it into the breasts for natural-looking augmentation.
Many women prefer fat transfer to breast implants since it uses their own tissue, and the results look and feel natural.
Many women with gigantomastia seeking relief from big, heavy breasts often opt for a breast reduction surgery aiming to reduce down to C cup boobs. This surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to reduce cup size and lift sagging breasts.
Breast lift or mastopexy raises deflated, sagging breasts by tightening skin and tissues internally. This can enhance shape and perkiness and boost an A or B cup to a C cup.
The implant options for achieving a C Cup size can be categorised into material, shape, size and placement.
Implant Material
Two types of implant materials can be used to achieve C cup boobs:
Implant Shape
You can either have a round-shaped implant or an anatomical-shaped one. Round implants create more lift and fullness on top, while anatomical implants look more natural as they take the natural shape of the breasts.
Implant Size
Implant size determines the volume and projection of the breasts. It is measured in cubic centimetres. For size C boobs, the implant size typically ranges from about 300cc to 400cc, depending on the individual's anatomy and desired outcome.
Implant Placement
Implants can either be placed under or over the muscle. Under looks more natural, while over makes surgery simpler and recovery faster.
It is best to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to review your goals and body type to determine the best implant option for your C cup transformation. We advise you to consult with one of our plastic surgeons, each of whom has experience with successfully performing breast augmentation procedures, and stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in cosmetic surgery.
The following tips, while not reliable at enhancing breast size, can potentially make a slight difference to the size and shape of your breasts:
How big is C Cup?
A C cup size typically indicates a bust measurement that is 3 inches larger than the ribcage measurement. While the exact volume can vary depending on the band size and individual body shape, a C cup is often considered a moderate size that is neither too small nor too large.
Do some ethnicities have larger breasts than others?
Yes, some ethnicities have larger breasts than others due to genetic factors. Generally, groups with higher obesity rates have higher breast volume. But genetics, weight, hormones and other individual factors play a larger role in determining breast size than ethnicity alone.
Mr. Bryan Mayou
A C-Cup Breast Augmentation is a popular choice for many patients, as it often provides a flattering and natural-looking result across a variety of body shapes and sizes. Patients must discuss their desired outcomes with their surgeon during the consultation process. By discussing preferences and exploring a range of sizes, patients can make informed decisions that meet their goals and personal preferences. Our approach prioritises patient satisfaction and ensures that each individual receives personalised care and guidance throughout their Breast Augmentation journey.Mr. Bryan Mayou
