Cup Size after Breast Augmentation

I always stay away from postop bra size, because there are no guarantees and if you are shooting for a particular bra size after surgery, you will be greatly dissappointed. You need to focus on the look you are going for and perform the Rice Test. This is a way for you to relay to your plastic surgeon as to the look you are going for and how large you want to be. So I recommend looking at my website where I discuss how to perform this test in one of my journal entries. It is very... more

Your cup size depends on your total volume of your breast

It is difficult to say what size implant you would need without seeing how much breast tissue you have currently. For a average size woman (and you are a bit taller than average), you would need to be about 520 cc total volume for an average C. If you have 150 cc of your own breast tissue, you would need to get about a 370 cc implant to make a total of 520 cc. This is an average and also depends on your body shape and size. You would have to be examined to be clear. This is also complicated... more

Stop thinking of cup size!!!!!!!

Many women ask "how many cc's to be a b?" "How many ccs to be a d?" The problem with that is that a B from Victoria's Secret does not fit the same as a B from La Perrla. All women have more than one bra size in their dresser before surgery, and no doubt will have more than one bra size in their dresser after surgery. So to talk about an "upper B" v a "middle-B" is basically meaningless. This is what you should focus on: do you want to see the... more

Implant 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 makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

Breast Implant Size to Achieve Medium C Cup?

Every patient is an individual and must be treated as such when being evaluated for breast augmentation. At your consultation the surgeon will measure your breasts and how they fit on the chest wall and recommend a few sizes for you depending on what look you are trying to achieve. Then the two of you can decide on what is achievable.

Breast Implant Size

Choosing the appropriate size for your breast augmentation relies on many factors including your: 1. current breast size 2. the amount of skin you have, 3. your desired cup size 4. your breast and body measurements. You should consult with a plastic surgeon performing breast augmentation regularly who will work with you to pick the right size and profile. It shouldn't be just choosing one of two sizes and the right size for you means incorporating both you and your... more

Breast implant size options

As you realize advice by mail is not as accurate as advice in person, however you gave some very useful information. As a tall woman going from a barely B to a medium C you will require more volume than the average 5' 4" woman. Although I never promise a cup size, it does allow communicaton to understand how big you want to go. I like to know your nipple to inframammary fold distance as well as the BWD because it allows me to assess your skin envelope. With your BWD of 14 cm, I would... more

Bra sizes will vary, a great result will look good in all clothing

You are tall compared to the "average" woman today. By US measurements the average woman is 5'4", 154 pounds (and gaining), and wears a 36 C bra. Cup size determination can be elusive as bra fitters in our area tell me that most women wear the bra size that they think they are whether it truly fits or not. The tendency is to under size. Also some retailers and manufacturers will target and size for a particular market and a D cup may represent the 'average' size. The size of... more

Try some implants on in my office

It sounds as if you can use a 350 - 400 cc. But for your best results come in and durring the examination you can put some implants in your bra and try them out. There is no standard "c" as all bras are different - but try an implant in your bra and see how you look and see if that is what you want.

350 to 375cc Breast Implants should enlarge a small B cup to a C cup

Cup size is often hard to accurately predict as the other doctors have said.However, generally a 350cc to 375cc breast implant will enlarge a small B cup breast to a C cup.In my experience a moderate or lower profile silicone gel breast implant produces the most natural looking breast which feels more like normal breast tissue.See before and after photos of breast augmentation.
