Bra Size After Breast Augmentation

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict what cup size you will be wearing after your breast augmentation procedure. You will need to go “bra sizing” after the procedure and recovery time is complete. Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the ... more
