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? This is a lengthy conversation you should be having with your surgeon. You can find 'before and after' photos online of many body types and sizes. Find a photo that you like and share with your surgeon. She or he may also have other ways of helping you find the best size for you. Good l uck!Sincerely,Dr. Michelle Spring

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.
