Answer: Best size for you Ann I try to tailor each breast augmentation operation to my patient's desires and body type. I ask my patients to bring in photos of breasts the size they desire, because there can otherwise be confusion because B or C cup can vary greatly by brassiere manufactures! I also utilize the implant in the bra technique, with several different implant sizes with a tighter fitting T-shirt to get an idea of what you will look like. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and go to your consult with all your questions written down so you don't forget to ask something.

Answer: I am 5’4 150, athletic. Cup size 34a. Looking for 34d. Dr suggest 345cc. Will this give me what I want? Cup sizes vary between bra manufacturers so a B cup in one brand can be a C cup in another. I wouldn't focus on the cup size as much as on the implant size that will fit your build. If you surgeon recommends a 345cc implant based on measuring your breasts and chest dimensions that may well be what will look best. If you feel that you would prefer to err on the larger side have that discussion with your surgeon. Maybe, at the time of surgery, they will be able to go a little larger than 345.

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Hello,There is usually disappointment when women use bra cup sizes to communicate aesthetic goals with their surgeon. There is no correlation between implant volume and bra cups; so its all a guessing game. Instead, using in-office sizers, an unpadded bra, and a few of your favorite tops in the mirror will give you and your surgeon much more usable information. Remember though, you have an anatomically derived maximum capacity that is easy to determine and should not be ignored. If your surgeon isn't an ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeon, then you should find one who is. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing This is one of the more difficult questions to answer as a proper exam and measurements are required. Even then it is impossible to say what cup size you would be with which size implants because every place you go get sized afterwards may find a different sized bra that fits.What I would recommend would be to go for a particular look rather than a cup size. To achieve the look that you want, you and your plastic surgeon will have to be on the same page. This involves tremendous time with looking over photos, evaluating the body's measurements, soft tissue, and sizing in the office. 3D imaging is a nice approach, however, the problems is that is still a photo and not on your body. In office sizing with specially designed sizers in my opinion along with everything else I have mentioned I find works best with reproducible results.Hope that helps.
