Is it Possible to Predict My Post-Op Bra Size
I am 5'8", 140 lbs., a 32A with loose sagging skin from breast feeding 3 babies, and I'm thinking about getting a breast augmentation of 450cc moderate plus (Mentor). What bra size (band and cup) will that take me up to? I would like to be a full C/small D.

Predicting Breast Size
No surgeon with guarantee a certain cup size. It is important when you are meeting with your plastic surgeons to communicate your expectations and pictures can help. Your band size should not change with breast augmentation but your cup size will.

Predicting post-op bra size after breast implants
Since there is no objective measurement of bra size, all you can really expect from a plastic surgeon is an estimate. Cup size varies significantly from one bra manufacturer to another. I prefer to use 3D imaging which simulates what patients will look like with various different sized implants (in cc's or milliliters). This is much more accurate and takes alot of the guesswork out of sizing process.

Post op Bra Size
The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling of the...
