Size is a complex decision that is not only based upon your height, weight and current cup/bra size but ALSO on also on your breast diameter, waist, shoulder, and skin envelope measurements. These can only be assessed in person during a consultation. see video

Breast augmentation

It is difficult to predict the bra size after an augmentation but you probably would go up 2 cup sizes or more, but this is also based upon your height weight and general body habitus..
