I am a small C cup, and I had enough breast tissue where I could have gone over the muscle but choosing to go under, I am really wanting to be a DD/E but not sure how many CCs I would need, I do compete in bikini comps so I wouldn’t want them to be too shrunk when leaning down. Can I ask my doctor to do the internal bra method for my first surgery? I only ask because I notice some girls end up getting that wide gap between the breasts which I do not want.

Answer: Choosing a size When determining what size implant is most appropriate, there are a few considerations. Probably the most important is the diameter of the implant. You need a diameter that fits your chest correctly.

Answer: Small C cup, wanting DD/E. How many CCs do I need? It’s very difficult to predict a specific cup size after breast augmentation. The answer depends partially on how large your breasts were before the operation and what size implants are being put in, but also what brand of bra. There is really no consistency anymore between what a “D” really is from one brand to another. One woman may be a double d in one brand and a c in another. The best way to judge is to try the implants at your sizing session and see if they look right for your frame and whether they look like what you picture a DD/E cup should look like on you rather than focus on what the actual letter in the new bras you eventually buy are. As for the internal bra, there are many versions of this and very few surgeons capable of performing the suture technique that you need to round out the lateral border nicely while pushing the implants centrally. It tends to end up a bit squared in most surgeons hands so make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience in this technique Hope that helps!

Answer: Small C cup, wanting DD/E It is always mentally taxing to decide on an implant size, especially if one is using cups sizes as a goal. That is partly because there is no standard for what a cup size is. the photographs provided indicate reasonable preoperative breast volume. If the questioner wishes to increase by 2 cups sizes or perhaps three, in my practice I find this is usually in the high 300s or low 400s or something perhaps even more. What would be more helpful are photographs of outcomes that the patient is trying to achieve. If there is superior fullness in the upper breast, a higher profile implant may be advisable in addition to a higher volume. If your surgeon has 3D analysis, that can also help in visualizing final results with different sizes of implants.

Answer: DD/E Thanks for your question! I would talk to your surgeon about implant size. Perhaps something in the 400-450 range but it's important to have this conversation with your surgeon. You appear to have a well-defined inframammary fold so I'm unsure that an internal bra with something like Galaflex is necessary. Good luck!
