I had my BA consult and tried on different implant sizes with a sizing bra. The sizing bra was like a sports bra, so it seemed to squish down on the implants and my breasts. Will my end results be relatively close, or bigger since they won't be squished by sports bra? I like 450cc and 420cc, but just those numbers sound huge! I am barely a B and want to be a full C/small D.
Answer: How accurate are sizers in sizing bra compared to how end result will look? Although useful as rough guidelines and as communication tools, all the modalities currently used to predict what breast implant size/profile will best achieve a patient's goals with breast augmentation are not very accurate, in my opinion. The use of the rice test, sizers placed beneath a patient's bra, goal pictures, computer imaging technology… are all useful, but not necessarily as accurate as one would hope.

Answer: Breast implant sizing Every surgeon has a different approach to helping their patients choose the implants that will achieve their goals. When using a bra and sizers during a consultation, the patient can have an idea of the proportions they will achieve with an augmentation, but the breasts will look different when the implants are inside of you rather than inside a bra. I find that this is easier to assess with a tight-fitting shirt worn over the sizing bra. Some surgeons will recommend going "one size up" from the size you liked in the office but I prefer the approach of picking the largest size with which you feel comfortable while sizing. It is very uncommon for a patient to feel like their implants look larger in their body than they did in the sizing bra. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast sizing systems are only a rough estimate of breast augmentation result Thank you for your question and photographs. Breast implant sizing systems are helpful to give you a general idea of the fullness after breast augmentation, however because they're placed on top of your own breast and not beneath as will be the case after surgery, they are really only a very rough approximation of how you will look after surgery.I agree with your feeling that 420 and 450 cc implants are very large for your frame and size.In my experience a patient with your current breast appearance and body shape Implants in the 250-300 cc range will give you a full B cup and 325-350 cc will give you a full C. I certainly would avoid implants and the 400 range.
