I'm 29 years old, have 3 kids and breastfed all 3. I'm a B cup now but used to be a C before kids. I'm getting breast augmentation surgery (saline) on Thursday and I'm unsure if I should go with Full C or small D. I don't want them to look too big on me. I'm 5'5, 130 lbs. I have been skinny all my life and I am exercising a lot with at home dvd programs. I also do cardio but plan on quitting half marathons after surgery, just 5Ks and 10Ks. Any advice is appreciated.
Answer: Breast augmentation size C or D? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Breast implant sizing is an inexact science, relative to a woman's bra measurement, as there is no direct correlation between cc size and cups. As one's chest is wider, each cc will impact the cup size less than a woman with a more narrow chest. The exact size will be unknown during surgery, but remember that it is better to fit your bras to your breasts rather than the other way around. Hope this helps

Answer: Breast augmentation - C or D cup size? Thanks for your question. I would love to give you a more scientific answer; however, it is important to know that "cup size" is not a very scientifically specific measure. Each bra manufacturer varies and one company's "C cup" may be totally different (by more than a cup size) from another's. I tend to say from your description that a "full C" is probably going to be more along the lines of what you want. You can ask your plastic surgeon if you can come into the office and try on breast implants at different volumes. I think that can be helpful in getting a sense of breast implant size. I hope this is helpful. Good luck!

Answer: High profile gel #breastimplants provide fulness Hi. Considering your athletic lifestyle and slender form, you may find that a smaller size (c cup) interferes less with exercise. You can always make them fuller with wired or padded bras when desired. Saline implants do not project as much and are wider than gel implants-try some sizers on and rediscuss with your PS so that you are not disappointed after surgery. High profile gel implants provide fullness without the width that can cause rubbing against your arms. Best wishes, Dr. Doolabh

Answer: Breast cup size C or D Your questions are valid and very common for women wanting to regain their breasts that they had before having children. As other surgeons have mentioned, there is no standardization of bra sizes, so the look of a C or D cup will depend on how the implants look on your body. Without knowing what your current breast measurements are, it is hard to suggest implant sizes to you. The most common sized implant in my practice is 300-400cc. There are also different shapes of implants, and your surgeon can advise you on which type would be best for your body. I would advise that you take time to try on different sizers at your surgeon's office. We tell our patients to wear a tight fitting shirt so that they can look at themselves with the sizers in under clothes. I hope that this helps, and good luck with your upcoming surgery.
