Trying to Guess my Cup Size?

So I have very small AA boobs and just got implated 425cc silicone high profile. I know I still have a few weeks of healing along with the swelling to go down but I was curious around what cup size I will be. My chest actually looks smaller than I thought it was going to be so Im wondering with starting out extremly small, Im about 5'5 and 135lbs that I may not have gone big enough. Im hoping to be a nice C cup...what do you think? .

Bra/Breast Cup Size Discussions Can Be Frustrating For Patients

Pre and postoperative bra cup size is one of the most commonly asked questions when considering breast surgery. It is a commonly used measurement, but poorly understood. Most bra experts feel that many women wear the incorrect bra size. The number associated with your bra size is the circumference of your chest. It is a fixed number if measured appropriately, but can be adjusted by wearing a larger than appropriate cup size. Cup side is the projection of the... more

Breast Implants and Bra size

Try on some bras and see which fit. I think you will be happy with which bras you fill with that size implant. It may take some time for your skin to stretch to show the size your implants. The size you chose is very popular in my practice. Patients are extremely happy with it.

Bra size after breast augmentation

The best way to determine cup size is to try on some bras. At a couple weeks after you may still have some swelling. So, it may not be a good idea to purchase too many bras at once. I tell my patients to wait at least 1 month before going bra shopping. Thanks for the question! Happy shopping!

Trying to Guess my Cup Size?

Nettie-- Without a photo it would not make sense to guess a breast size. Your idea of a AA or a C may not match mine, or Nordstroms', or Victoria's Secret's. As a rule, for a patient with a 36 band, there will be about a cup size increase for every 200 cc of implant. Thanks for your question, and best wishes. With passing time, as your pectoral muscles relax to accommodate the new implants the appearance may seem larger than it does now. more

Thanks for your response. I am going to upload a photo of myself as I took my bandages off this morning. Am I understanding correctly that considering how small I started out that the 425cc's were not a 'huge' difference. So if I were to of started out with a B cup that the 425cc's would have made me very large. For some reason I thought that almost they took out your breast and put in the implant, rather than adding to what you have. I of course did not want to look like I had a strippers chest but actually thought it was going to be a little bigger. At the same time I think i am going to be very happy, I think they will fit my body very well and wont slow me down working out and put me in the akward catagory of being to big for tops. Hope I am not to confusing!
