Thank you for your question. There is no ideal bra size for anyone. Bra size can greatly vary, and is a personal choice. One thing I tell my patients is that larger breasts on shorter framed women can sometimes make them appear heavier. Best of luck

Thank you for the question. There is no "ideal size";  much will depend on what you consider ideal personally. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural, proportionate look” or "C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes.

Hi  Smilek,The ideal bra size is one that is proportioned for the remainder of the body.  Keep in mind that is a function of your weight and height as well as the shape of the breast and finally and most impotantly  it depends on your own sense of beauty.  Hope that helps,Dr Bev

There is no ideal bra size.  Everyone is different.  Some ladies like large breast while others would rather have smaller breast.  Decide what you like and go with that.
