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. The number is the actual chest girth, which would not change - the cup size letter is the amount of projection past this initial chest width.
Thank you for the question. Yes with most bra manufacturers this statement holds true. The smaller you go on the chest circumference the larger the cup size goes. The same size bras sometimes don't fit exactly the same a lot depends on the fabric and style of the bra. Demi bras run smaller than fuller coverage cups.Happy bra shopping!
This has to be one of the most confusing andfrustrating issues for women and plastic surgeons alike. What size am Iand how much to get to a "D" size cup. there are many reasonsfor the frustration and to name one predominant reason is that Bra sizes arenot a standard measurement. Yes, that is correct. A centimeter is acentimeter, and an inch is an inch. But when it comes to bras you can beta Victoria Secret bra size will not correspond to the same size as a Bally braor other brand. They may be close but not the same. Many times thisis off by a cup size (have you ever seen a half size or B+?). I attendeda bra sizing at a shop that specializes in fitting bras and they use a formulato come up with a bra size (this formula is not a standard either). Measure the distance around your chest at the level just below thebreast. Then measure around your chest at the most projecting point ofthe breasts. In inches the difference of the two numbers is your cupsize. The second is the measurement. So, as an example, 34 inchesdiameter around the chest, and 37 inches around the chest and at the peak ofprojection becomes a 34C ((37 -34=3 which becomes C cup(1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc) andthus one would have a 34C bra)). But if only the process were that simple.The breast does not always cooperate with this method and hence manymanufactures use different methods for creating cup sizes for their brands. In addition, if the cup is slightly smaller than the breast it forces thebreast to bulge and look bigger (push up bra?). Final solution is to shopand try on bras and go with one that you like in fit and support and if youdare, look at the label. If is is flattering great, if you disagree andare insulted then don't pay any mind to that brands sizing system. Good luckand happy bra shopping.
There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps. Good luck!
In my opinion there is no standardization of bra cup sizes. That said I feel a 34c is in most case similar to a 32D.
