My bra size is 30DD/E, which the wire length fits me 100% and I can fill the cups when "swooped and scooped". However, w/o a bra on my breasts look like an A cup since I have very little projection & my breasts are ridiculously tall (they start at my collarbone). My under bust:29" bust:36" breast measurements – perimeter:8" width:5.3" height:7". After wearing way too small bras for years I have a lot of migrated breast tissue. How can I get the breast tissue to be less tall and more "outward"?
Answer: Breast Size And Cup Size The vast majority of patients utilize cup size to measure their breast size. Unfortunately, cup size means different things to different people and for this reason is generally inaccurate.Manufacturers of bras label their products differently. Some companies label their bras with larger sizes for marketing purposes. This creates communication problems when talking cup size. The C cup of one company may actually be equal to a D cup of their competitor.Additionally, women tend to wear bras differently, some wear them tightly, while others more loosely. A small snug fitting bra would suggest a small breast size, whereas a loose, large fitting bra would give the impression of a much larger breast cup size. Consequently, bra size may give a false impression of actual breast size.

Answer: How can 30DD breasts look like an A cup? Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. You do appear much smaller than a DD. You would be a great candidate for a breast augmentation with the goals you desire. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: Don't trust Nordstrom's or Victoria's Secret bra sizing
You are clearly not a DD. You are more likely a B cup. Nordstrom's and VS are notorious for having undersized bras. It is called vanity sizing. It is good for business for a small breasted woman (size A-B) to go into their stores and buy a C cup....the woman feels better about themselves and becomes a loyal customer. It is the exact same thing that jean companies do. Jean companies size their jeans very big....so the size 8 woman can go buy a size 4 and feel better about it.

Answer: Bra size seems different than breast size
You have raised a great question. Unfortunately there is not a standardized measurement/fitting formula that is used in the bra/lingerie industry. That is why I never guarantee a bra size after any type of breast surgery. To my eye you do not appear to be a DD/E fullness even with a narrow chest size of 30. My advise is not to pay attention to the bra size but rather your appearance in the bra. Buy what you like and rip out the tag. If you are looking to change the size/fullness of your actual breast - that's a different story. Then you should consider breast augmentation.
