Is There a Way to Estimate What Size I'll Be After my Breast Augmentation? (photo)

I had my breast augmentation 6/1/12. I had 400cc saline mod+ implants put in under the muscle. I was told that this should put me in the low D range as I started at a deflated A. I was wondering if there is a way to estimate what range I may be in once healed? I am 5 foot and 103lbs.

We can roughly estimate the cup size

Hello, Although the exact measurement of a "cup size" is specific and involves measuring chest circumference and circumference of breast and chest most cup size estimates have a certain amount of subjectivity since it depends on the bra size that the person prefers to wear and the manufacturer chooses to list. A 400ml implant would generally take you into the C cup range if you are starting out at an A cup. The actual cup size that your bra will state will vary and in fact if... more

There is no way to accurately estimate what size you will be after surgery. Patients often fell to large immediately after surgery ,then as swelling subsides,and the patient gets used to their size ,they often feel too small .Asymmetry is also often a problem For these reasons I use the adjustable saline breast implant (Spectrum) that can be adjusted after surgery so that you can have input into the final size

Your size is what you see. Bra cup size is extremely variable, and meaningless.

Kat, I think you asked another question about 500-550cc implants perhaps being "too big" for your frame. Based on these photos (thanks for including), you look pretty full, and I'm not sure your anatomy can handle any additional volume, at least in the near future. Once everything has healed, softened, and settled from this operation (which looks nicely done, BTW) for 6-12 months, perhaps slightly larger high profile implants would be possible. Possible, but not necessarily advisable.... more

Breast Cup Size after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon is able to accurately predict what cup size you will end up wearing after breast augmentation with a certain size implant. I suggest that patients not base communication of goals or satisfaction with the results of surgery on achieving a specific cup size.As you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. I would respectfully... more
