Tags: breast size

I am having a removel replacement with a lift next week. I am downsizing my 480HP submuscular for smaller implants. I am a 36DDD and want to be a small D. My PS is recomending 350MP Plus.

This is a very difficult question

Of course, there is no way we or your doctor will be able to predict a cup size for you. If you REALLY want to control the final size, look, and cup size after this next surgery, one technique I have had great success with is by using a postoperatively adjustable saline implant.

However, this is an inexact and unpredictable science and there are many factors which help determine your breast size. If you began with a C cup, you would need 150-200cc implant to take you up one cup.Therfore, this is about... more

Hard to know this without seeing you

Hello, Much of what we do involves visualizing the result while looking at a patient. There are several types of lifts some of which lift more than others and implants of a certain type/size look differently on different women providing variable fullness. The bottom line is that you need to trust the surgeon you have chosen on this type of question and spend the time to communicate before surgery.
