Breast implants do not correspond to a cup size.  It really depends on a lot of different factors, from a patient's exisiting breast tissue, to their height/frame/weight/ etc.  An 800cc implant on someone who is 5'3 would be extremely large, yet in somneone who is 5'10, may be very proportional looking.  You really will not know until you go through the surgery.  I hope this helps.

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.  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!

Hi there-

	There is not going to be any way that any surgeon could responsibly or reliably predict for you what bra size you will prefer after breast augmentation. 

	Your best bet is going to be to get fitted after you recover from your surgery.

Mark D. Epstein, MD, FACS · Answer

Your breasts have stretched and descended without the presence of an implant...just natural engorgement with pregnancy (I presume), time, gravity, genetics.

	 

	Now add a couple pounds of silicone and you will cause uncorrectable deformities as the tissue will overstretch beyond its limits.

	 

	Os this a guarantee? No, but the more weight you subject your breasts to, and these are very large implants, the more you risk this happening. You would be better served finding a surgeon who knows how to fit the implant to the breast, place it under the muscle using a dual plane approach and looks out for the health of your breasts.

Unfortunately, there is no way to know with any precision exactly what cup size you will be wearing after breast augmentation surgery. As you know, bra cup sizes will vary from one manufacturer to another.

	As you plan your breast augmentation I would suggest that you communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon. I prefer the use of goal pictures as opposed to trying to achieve a specific cup size ( again this may be arbitrary and dependent on the bra manufacturer).

	You may find the attached link helpful.

	Best wishes.
