Breast implant sizing

The use of sizers in your bra preoperatively does not accurately correlate with the size of breasts achieved with sub muscular implants. I think that it is very important that you communicate clearly with your surgeon to maximize the chances of achieving your desired breast size. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or... more

Two Different Opinions on Breast Implant Sizing for a Full C/small D

For all intents and purposes there is no difference in the sizes you have chosen over the long term. It will not make the difference between a C or D cup and amounts to less than 2 tablespoons/

Implant sizing and cup sizing

A picture without a bra is not needed. The answer is that the size of the implant needs to fit the width of your breast and you choose the forward profile depending on whether you want to increase a cup size, a cup-and-1/2, or two cup sizes.

Different implant sizes

You have angst that many BAM patient experience.  You are concerned about the size of the implant.  You need to understand that 5 cc (or ml) is one teaspoon, and 25 cc is ~ one shot glass.  Therefore, there won't be much difference between the two, and you may not even be able to tell with different bras.  You may even do well with a sltightly larger implant like a 400 cc range.
