Picking breast implants is pretty technical.

Hi. I hope you find this article useful. 1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like. 4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is... more

Predicting breast size in advance of breast augmentation

It is impossible to tell without measuring you. For example base diameter, amount of "skin envelope" you have to fill, and so on. Your Plastic Surgeon should be able to tell you this after your exam.

Breast Cup Size after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon is able to accurately predict what cup size you will end up wearing after breast augmentation with a certain size implant. As you know, you may end up wearing different bra cup sizes depending on who makes the bra. I would suggest that you communicate your goals with your plastic surgeon ( I prefer the use of goal pictures) and ask him/her to do his/her best to achieve the results you're looking for. ... more

Bra cup size after surgery

There are no fixed definitions of cup sizes. A C cup with a 38 inch band is larger than a C cup with a 36 inch band, which in turn is larger than C cup with a 34 inch band. Many of my patients tell me they have bras in their bra drawer that are B's, C's and D's, and sometimes they all fit (and sometimes none of them fit). Patients have come in with a bra that fits that says 34DD, and their breast size looks like the photos I have of patients who wear a B cup... more

The right implant size for my body

Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted. Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra. Outward projection is further determined by the "profile" of the implant. High school geometry: Height (projection) times Width (base width). A Higher Profile implant will give you a... more

Bra cup size after implants

The size is not predictable. It depends on whose bra you wear. In other words, a "D" cup in Victoria Secret may be a "C" cup in Playtex. So which one does that make you. You should not focus on a specific bra size, but pick a look/size that you are happy with. Loose rule of thumb, every 200 cc is a cup size in volume. However, it does mean it raise you a cup size in a specific bra. Go with what you think looks good and don't worry about the bra size.

Breast implants and cup size

Dear Vanessa Mount, at 5'1 and 104 LBS you are fairly petite and slim. although cup size is difficult to exactly judge since it is a ratio of 2 measurements: the circumference of your chest measured at your breasts and on your chest wall. But by experience, I can tell you that 300 cc HP may most likely bring you to 32 D on you. You need to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience in breast surgery. You should try on different sizes in the office,... more
