Bra size equivalent. Is 34C the equivalent to a 32D?

This has to be one of the most confusing and
frustrating issues for women and plastic surgeons alike. What size am I
and how much to get to a "D" size cup. there are many reasons
for the frustration and to name one predominant reason is that Bra sizes are
not a standard measurement. Yes, that is correct. A centimeter is a
centimeter, and an inch is an inch. But when it comes to bras you can bet
a Victoria Secret bra size will not correspond to the same size as a Bally bra
or other brand. They may be close but not the same. Many times this
is off by a cup size (have you ever seen a half size or B+?). I attended
a bra sizing at a shop that specializes in fitting bras and they use a formula
to come up with a bra size (this formula is not a standard either).
Measure the distance around your chest at the level just below the
breast. Then measure around your chest at the most projecting point of
the breasts. In inches the difference of the two numbers is your cup
size. The second is the measurement. So, as an example, 34 inches
diameter around the chest, and 37 inches around the chest and at the peak of
projection becomes a 34C ((37 -34=3 which becomes C cup(1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc) and
thus 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 many
manufactures use different methods for creating cup sizes for their brands.
In addition, if the cup is slightly smaller than the breast it forces the
breast to bulge and look bigger (push up bra?). Final solution is to shop
and try on bras and go with one that you like in fit and support and if you
dare, look at the label. If is is flattering great, if you disagree and
are insulted then don't pay any mind to that brands sizing system. Good luck
and 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!
