I am planning on setting up a consultation and surgery date for breast augmentation within the next 6 months. I am between a 34a and a 34B, I think... I know that I wear a 34B which is a little larger cup than I can fully fill and continue to wear to appear larger breasted, but I'm not entirely sure exactly yet what my precise size is. I've decided on silicone implants and that I would love to be a large full D cup or a small DD. One of my breasts is slightly smaller than the other, and I'm not certain if I am considered to have a tubular deformity. Any info or advice anyone can offer is much appreciated, thank you.

Almost anything is possible

Not to be flippant, but almost anything is possible if you are willing to accept the risks and realize that the quality of the result can be compromised with such a large breast. Personally I believe natural breasts look the best. However I do have women who prioritize size alone. The problem is in women who want both size and a natural look, but do not that the natural breast tissue or chest characteristics to reach both of these goals. You, like all women would benefit from a... more

Breast sizing

If you're not sure what size you are, you may want to go to get measured by a proffessional. V.S. provides complimentary sizing. These don't appear to be tubular breasts. Yes, a D or possibly a DD could be achieved. I recommend implant placement behind the muscle. This technique has more natural results and the least complications. I hope this helps, Dr. H

Possible breast sizes?

Plastic surgeons love to tackle challenges. Most any size can be achieved. The unintended consequences of too large implants in order to achieve a cup size are not often apparent for years. A frank discussion about those risks with a board certified plastic surgeon is ur best bet. Many of the deleterious effects of large implants are irreparable. We do want you to get what u want but also not get stuck with unexpected problems longterm. Good luck

Selecting a breast implant size

Nothing seems to give women more anxiety than deciding the correct breast implant size. Sizing bras are very helpful in narrowing the choices. I never guaranty a breast cup size rather it is best to think more about your desired shape and degree of fullness. The ultimate deciding factor when considering a breast implant should be base diameter as well as desired breast projection. Next it is helpful to review photos of what you would like to look like after... more

I would like to be D/DD cup

Bra sizes are not a precise science but I do not think that your request is unreasonable. I agree that it would be useful to bring in a photograph of the size and shape breast that you are hoping to achieve as a D cup to one person may be different to a D cup to another. I do not think that you have a tuberous breast deformity and you look like a good candidate for breast augmentation but you need to make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page! Good luck. more

DD will be too big for your breast tissue

You have mild tubular breast over right side and that is causing to have different aerola shape and size compare to the left side. You also have a crease over right lower pole of the right breast when you lift you arms. The distance from aerola to the inframammary fold is short and this will limit the size of the implant.

I think a D Cup is possible

I agree with Dr Friedlander that bra sizes are not consistant. Given that going up a couple of sizes from where you are is a definite possibilty. It is sometimes helpful to take in pictures of someones breast that are similar to what you desire. Your surgeon can then talk with you about whether this is possible with the amount of breast tissue and skin you have. Good luck with your surgery, Dr T

D or DD after durgery

Hi, One of the things that I reinforce, is that it is not the bra you wear but the appearance that you have achieved that counts. All bras are different. That being said, you do not have a tubular deformity. The small size difference does not pose an issue for augmentation. You will require a large implant to create the fullness of a D or DD cup. The size and profile of the implant best suited to achieve your desired result will be... more

Breast implant size/cup size?

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree... more

Increasing Breast Size with Breast Augmentation: Choosing a Range That is right for you

Breast augmentation increases the breast size with a breast implant, saline or silicone which is typically placed under the pectoral muscle through numerous types of incisions. Breast size after a breast augmentation depends on numerous factors, but in general will relate directly with the size of implant places. I wish this was the case with cup sizes before and after the operation. Breast cup size is very arbitrary and asking to go from a B to a DD depends really on what the person who... more
