Breast Implants: Q&A
Ask a QuestionFull C Cup Breast Implants Too Large for Petite Frame?
I'm considering having breast augmentation. I'm trying to determine the size. I was a full B cup, but since having my son, have actually lost weight and gone down to an A cup. I'm petite at 5 feet and 92 lbs. I'm considereing going to a full C. Would that be too large for my height and frame?

Choosing the right size breast implant.
See this video of mine on choosing a breast implant:

Basically, this is the answer: don't think about cup size. It doesn't mean anything. If you want to look pretty and natural and not fake, then you need to simply pick the implant that fits you. You buy the shoes that fit your feet, right? So why wouldn't you get the breast implant that fits your breasts?

Selecting Breast Implant Size
That depends on what you consider a “full C”. Cup size is not the best way to determine the appropriate size of the implants as there is no standard bra. The best thing you can do is bring in photos of the look that you are trying to achieve and discuss your options with your plastic surgeon. The best way to end up with a good result is to start with similar expectations.

Cup size varies according to the person's body frame
When choosing cup size for breast augmentation, you need to keep in mind that a 32C is far different than a 40C, in other words, if you are petite, a C cup will be proportional to your petite frame because your circumference of your upper torso will be small to match your frame. A C cup volume will vary with the person's frame. To determine what a C cup would look like on your frame, you should meet with the prospective surgeons that you are considering and he/she should be able to help you...

Many measurements will be taken at the time of your consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. All this information will help to give you a healthy range of sizes for your implants. Trying on implants might be a good way of getting an idea on your new shape.

Full C Cup Breast Implants
Implants are measured by volume, not cup size, which can be confusing. Every woman’s body is different, so what looks like a C cup result on one woman might look like a B cup on another, even though the implants were the exact same volume for each. The best breast augmentation results are going to be customized to your existing frame.
As a breast augmentation specialist, I hear this confusion a lot. I’d suggest collecting several photos to bring to your consultation. This will give...

Bra size and breast implants
There is very little correlation of bra size to breast implants as measured in cc. One size bra does not alsoways fit the same as you move across various manufacturers. The best way to determine size is a measurement called breast width. Your plastic surgeon can help you decide what your breast width is to help you to get a better handle on a size and match that with you expectation.

Breast Implant Sizes
It is difficult to get an accurate idea of the size of breasts a woman wants strictly by bra size. Different bras can be sized quite differently. It is better to speak with yor doctor about the size that is best for you with the help of before and after photographs.

Implant choices
Choosing the right implants for you requires a physical exam and a discussion of your goals. I can not predict what would be best for you without the above.

Full C Cup Breast Implants Too Large for Petite Frame?
If you were a full B, I do not see any reason, from your description, why you couldn't go with a C cup.

Breast Implant Sizing
I try to stay away from cup sizes and will ask you to go for a look you want. This is because cup sizing is not universal and you will be sized differently at different stores. So, what it will depend on is how wide your breast are, as in base diameter and how the characteristics of the overlying skin and breast tissue.
