Ideal cup size varies

There is no ideal cup size. If you are only 5 feet tall, then anything larger than a D cup will make you top heavy. Consider how much your breasts are interfering with exercise or activity as well as what look you want to achieve. It is not possible to guarantee a specific cup size, but a breast reduction yields many benefits for women like you who may suffer from shoulder pain and intertrigo.

Ideal cup size after Breast Reduction to match frame

Clearly a shorter woman (5 ft, 130 lbs) with a cup size of 38DDD is VERY top heavy and a lot of this excess breast weight CAN be removed for a better more attractive figure. BUT -- everyone has different ideas on what constitutes a "perfect" appearance. This varies by sex, ethnicity, social class, age and geographic location. To give you an example, while Latin women may prefer fuller breasts, European women often consider cup sizes of full C and above as too big). YOU should be... more

What size for breast reduction

Comfort should guide the decision in part about what size is best for you. Without examining you, or seing a picture, for that matter, I would think that a small C cup would be the best for you. Best of luck to you. Frank Rieger M.D.

Breast reduction should leave you with small C cup.

Hi. Remember, I have not examined you, and this is just an estimate based on my pretty big experience. But I would recommend aiming for a small C cup after breast reduction.

Ideal Cup Size

There is no ideal cup size like there is ideal height and weight. What is ideal is what you feel comfortable with and what you can live with on a daily basis. That may not be the answer you were looking but ultimately you have to make that decision for your self. Good luck.

Ideal Cup Size

There is no ideal cup size. Only you can determine your ideal cup size. If you undergo a breast reduction which is covered by insurance, you will probably need to go to the C/D range. If you are paying for your surgery, you can tell your surgeon the cup size that you desire. However, there is no guarantee that this can be achieved exactly.

Breast size ideal

There is no " ideal” breast size. It is very important to communicate YOUR size goals with your surgeon. 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 “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who... more

DDD breast recduction

To estimate the exact size would be very difficult without examining you. Usually someone with such large breasts would realistically be able to go down to a large C or D cup.

Ideal breast size-truly a matter of opinion

This is a philosophical question that requires a philosophical answer. There are infinite variety of breast sizes on various frames and a wide variety of opinions about the combinations.Ultimately the best brest size for your frame is what YOU want it to be.

Even the aesthetic ideals change with... more

Ideal cup size

There is no ideal cup size for anyone. The key is to try to be the size that best fits your overall frame and there is a range for this, not one exact size. Then find out what cup size fits you best after.

No ideal

The real answer is the ideal cup size is the cup size you want. You should have a feel for what you want before you rely on others, even doctors, since everyone has an opinion.
