I am a 32dd, 168cm in height and weigh 9 stone. This is my first BA. I am booked in for my op next week. I've chosen 420cc but the surgeon suggested 460cc will more likely give me the desired result I am after of fuller breasts, however when I tried on the sizer for 460cc they felt far too big! Any suggestions? I dont want to be bigger than a GG cup max but don't want to end up too small with 420cc Thank you in advance

Answer: Brast implant sizing. Thank you for your posted question. Your surgeon will be the best source of advice regarding your best implant choice because they have measured your breasts and assessed the tissue thickness, nipple position etc. I hope your procedure goes well.

Answer: Implant size? 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!
