34B with 425cc - What Size Will I Be?

Hi I'm 5"7 130 lbs 34B, had an augmentation 2 1/2 weeks ago with high profile silicone implants 425cc's. I had told my surgeon that I wanted a D cup however, I'm still swollen and my breasts look like a C cup, my friends say with 425cc's i'm more like a DD but that's definitely not the case. Is it possible that I might be a small C?

Breast Augmentation Sizing

Thank you for the question. The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance... more

425 cc and a B cup to start

I think that with 425 cc implants and your original cup size of "B" you are more than likely a "D" if not larger. But, every bra company makes their bras a bit differently.

B cup + 425cc = D or DD cup (usually)

It is unlkely that you are truly a C cup after having 425cc implants placed in your formerly B cup breasts. This is typically a D or even DD cup outcome.

Re: Breast cup size after augmentation (34B + 425cc)

Certainly two and a half weeks after augmentation is a bit early to determine the ultimate size but important factors towards that include your own physical dimensions, height, weight, width of your chest etc. Also bra sizes tend to differ and I really do not use that as a true representation of breast size. Generally speaking I explain to patients of your physical characteristics that if 425cc silicone prosthesis will create a nice full C breast or what I describe as a baby D. If a patient... more

Breast Cup Size after Augmentation

All bras fit differently and there is no standardization of cup sizes. A 425 cc implant is rarely a C, and is usually a D or DD.

34B + 425cc= D cup

In most cases, when a woman with a 34B cup adds 425cc implants , she will have a D cup. Early on in the post operative healing phase, the augmented breasts and surrounding tissue become swollen and the full impact/projection of the breasts is not realized. As the post-op swelling subsides, the tissue between the breasts and surrounding them decreases, the true size and shape of your breasts become apparent. I recommend that you remain patient and follow... more

Implant sizes and post-op cup sizing

Factors affecting your post-op cup size have much to do with your chest dimensions, breast base width and tissue characteristics. Based on your self description and the implant placed- my response to your question is that you will be 'big' post-op- probably well into the D cup range. The most important thing to evaluate is not cup size, but appearance of your breasts post-augmentation. Ask your self ' Am I happy with this result?'
