Bra sizing will be inaccurate immediately after breast augmentation

It takes a minimum of 3 months for postoperative swelling to resolve. Wait at least that amount of time to buy bras and to form an opinion about the surgical results. Here are a few points about bra cup size calculation. Bra cup size is calculated by subtracting the distance around the chest just below the breasts (band size) from the distance around the chest at the maximum point of breast projection (bust size). The larger this difference the larger the cup size... more

Breast Augmentation Size

34 a to b with 425 cc is not common. you should fit into a double DD when all settles down most women do not wear the correct bra to start with. the average size implants to go from A/B to a C cup are: 36 bra 375 cc 34 bra 325-350 32 bra 275-325

Is It Possible to Go frm 34a to 34b w/ 425cc Saline Under Muscle or Was I Sized Wrong? Answer:

I had to laugh with you and your comment of “should I wait or just be disappointed now?”..very cute and sincere! It is so normal for you to want to see your results now. My patients feel the same way and I tell them to expect exactly what you are seeing…So, yes just wait...You have good sized implants and with a little time and massage they should move down a bit and fill out more of a cup. It may take anywhere from 3-6 weeks in most cases but sometimes longer.... more

Two weeks after surgery is still very early to decide on cup size

Hello, Never rush to disappointment! Two weeks out is still early after surgery, especially when the implant is under the muscle. There is a lot of swelling of the breasts but also of the surrounding area which distorts how big the breasts actually look. Give it more time. In general, the volume of the implants would indicate that you will likely be larger than a B cup but we do not know what type of implant you received, ie low profile, moderate profile, high... more

Wait...or be disappointed

With your height and weight, and how little time has passed since your surgery, it is still too soon to make any final decisions on your breast augmentation results. If you truly went with 425cc implants then I find it hard to believe you would only go up one cup size. Wait a little longer, comply with your aftercare and keep open communication with your dr. Expectations are very important to discuss with your surgeon before surgery. Hopefully you two were on the same... more

Is It Possible to Go from 34a to 34b with 425cc Saline Under Muscle or Was I Sized Wrong?

Yes it is possible but I not sure the exact size you are looking for. At least with that size of implant gaining one cup size is very possible. Discuss with your chosen surgeon in person.

425 cc implants

I find it hard to believe that with a 425 cc implant you only went from an "A" to a "B." I would have guessed it would bump you at least to a "C" or even slighly larger.

A cup to B or C cup augmentation

If your bra size is 34, unless you were a very small A cup, 425 ml implants should bring you up to a C cup in most bras. If you were a very small A, 425 may increase you, at the least, to a full B. Two weeks is too early to tell for sure. Get sized at a couple of different reliable places. Don't be disappointed. Conservatism in size pays off in better nipple sensation, less wrinkling and rippling, a more realistic look, better fitting clothing, less sagging... more

Implant size

Yes, it is too early to determine your bra size two weeks after your breast augmentation. Although bra size may vary with different brands, if you were 5'3'', 130lbs and started with 34A and had 425cc implants, I would expect that you would be at least 34C.

Your ultimate cup size will be greater than a "B"

It is still quite early yet to determine the ultimate cup size though this will be variable even later on do to proprietary issues. With that said, having 425cc implants placed in you, being 5' 3' and 130 pounds, you will definitely be larger than a "B" cup, starting from a 34A. Be patient and give things time.

I expect you will be larger

If you were truly an A cup and 5-3 130lbs. you will be larger that a B cup for sure. It is very important to determine size before surgery like the rice test., good luck

Choosing breast implant size

I would expect your bra size to be larger than a B cup if you have 425cc implants, however, it is too soon to know your true size since your surgery was only two weeks ago. At this point, your pectoral muscle is compressing the implants and they may appear flattened, but as time goes on, they will settle and have more projection. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and be patient for now. Your implants may take a few months to settle into their final position and shape. Best... more

Breast 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
