Perfectly appropriate question, but one that really cannot be answered with the info available. There are no fixed definitions of cup size, and I have numerous patients with bras of three different cup sizes all of which fit. Furthermore, a C cup on a 36 band is larger that a C cup on a 34, smaller than a C cup on a 38. Best is to try on implants at your consultation. see what looks good to you. Your surgeon will use that info along with breast measurements to recommend the right... more
