Cup size and implants

It is difficult to determine final cup size with a given implant volume. SInce you have implants now, it is best to go to a good bra store and get sized properly. Every bra company is different, and therefore each company may put you into a slightly different cup.

Cup size and implants.

This is a difficult question to answer because of 2 factors: Cup size is not a standard measurements between bra makers and the cup size is dependent upon your chest wall (ie a 32 D resembles a 36 B).

Patients can be measured either by their plastic surgeon or at a bra store to determine their final cup size.

Breast Size After Breast Reconstruction?

After undergoing a mastectomy and needing breast reconstruction for breast cancer, a vary common question posed by patients is what breast size will I be afterwards. Unfortunately, there is no real way to know what breast cup size a patient is until they try on bras afterwards. The implants used for breast reconstruction ( or augmentation) do not correspond to cup sizes. They are simply cubic centimeter measurements. So much of a patient's breast size afterwards... more
