Good day, I'm having my procedure the 7th of may. I'm currently a size A 32. I'm going to have the 260cc implant. What size will it be?
Answer: Implant size Dear Fabulous723322, it is hard to predict the size of your breasts by using implant size. Breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: More info needed More information would be needed to give you an opinion, such as breast width and weight. In addition, breast cup size is not standardized, therefore it would be best to try on a sizer at your surgeons office in the size you’d like or expect to be. Sizers are implants that you can fit into your bra.

Answer: What size will I be? It's difficult to accurately predict bra cup sizes as they can vary by manufacturer. I encourage you to return to your surgeon for further discussion about the implants. Many have sample implants that you can "try on" to get an idea of how you may look after surgery.

Answer: It's more of a cup size "look" then an actual cup size; all that matters is whatever will fit your new breasts 260cc will look bigger on a 32 frame than, for example, a 38 frame. It also depends on how tight you wear your bra and wear you shop. Some stores will tell you that you measure bigger than other stores. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Cup Size It is very difficult to determine cup size in the Plastic Surgery world. Bra cup sizes are determined by fashion companies creating the clothing. I would recommend waiting until you are about 8 weeks post surgery to enjoy going bra shopping and finding what works for your new augmented breast anatomy.
