5 ft 3, 150 lb. Will 410cc get me to a D cup? (photo)

Predicting bra cup size after breast augmentation is difficult because cup sizing is not standardized from one company to the next.
Choosing the right implant for my patients takes time and clear communication. Prior to surgery, I spend 1-1.5 hours with my patients discussing their goals. I use Vectra images (3D imaging with virtual breast implants) to review multiple implant sizes and shapes. Every patient is then given a homework assignment to look at as many before and after photos as they can.
I then have my patients bring the before/after photos they like most (sourced from RealSelf or other websites) with patients that have a similar frame size, similar starting breast size/shape, and the desired post operative result to their preoperative appointment. We review the photos together, critically assessing every detail. I download the patient's favorite before/after photos and project them on a large high definition screen during surgery and use those photos as a reference. I pre-select 4-8 different implant sizes in two different projections to have available during surgery. I then place implant sizers in the patient's body and compare the effect of the sizer on the breast shape/volume to that of the reference photos while the patient is asleep. I will often test several implant sizes while comparing the breast shape to the goal photos before finalizing the decision for the permanent implant. Using this method, I am able to deliver very precise results to my patients. But, cup size is a secondary concern because it simply is not an reliable method for producing consistent results. What matters is the appearance of your breasts after surgery. Hope this helps and good luck!

Choosing the correct breast implant size can be difficult, especially as there is no standard as to what a cup size is. The bra manufacturers and also the medical community disagree on what a cup size actually equals. Some manufacturers, for example Victoria's Secret, may call a smaller breast a larger cup size than some other bra manufacturers. A 410 mL implant could possibly equal a D cup implant. If you are starting with relatively flat chest, some would say 410 is insufficient. At your consultation with your surgeon, it is wise to bring photos of others to show the surgeon what you are trying to achieve. The surgeon will also use of sizers and 3D imaging often to help you determine the correct implant size. Once pre-existing anatomy however may limit the size of implants, it may be possible that the surgeon does not feel they can achieve your goals due to anatomic considerations.

Thank you for your question. It is hard to tell by the picture you have provided. There are a few different factors that go into determining implant size, nipple to crease distance, width of the breast, natural breast tissue etc. I do think a 410 cc implant will bring you somewhere close to a "D" cup. I would suggest speaking to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options, questions and make a plan. Some Surgeons will offer you 3D imaging as well and this is a great tool to help show a patient what they can look like with certain implant sizes. Best of luck to you.
