Thanks for your question. Because bra sizing is so subjective and varies by manufacturer, it is impossible to say what bra size you will be with a 600cc implant. When discussing goals for sizing and shape, I believe 3D imaging is an invaluable tool for communication and helping to choose an implant size that will get the results you desire. It is also important to keep in mind that it will take about 4-6 weeks after surgery for your implants to “drop” or fully settle into place. Until the implants drop, I would not recommend buying all new bras, as it is likely your bra size will not be completely accurate until your implants have fully settled. I hope this helps.Nick Slenkovich, MD, FACS
It is impossible to sayas implant size does not correlate specifically to a cup size. Each bra manufactureris different. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discussyour goals. Regards,
Thank you very much for enquire.After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, I realize that you have very sagging and small breasts. In this regard, you need volume (implants) and projection (the lift): Breast Augmentation w/Breast Lift.I recommend you to use microtexturized highly cohesive silicon implant ("gummy bear" implants), with high projection, and 500ml will be excelent on you, to fill the breasts properly.Finally, to perform the breast lift I recommend a Periareolar Round Block Breast Lift ("Benelli mastopexy"), which has an unnoticed scar around the areola, and if we see (in the surgery) that we can't obtain adecuate projection just with the Benelli Lift, we have to perform a "Lollipop breast lift".Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
The is no such thing as standard breast size. if you buy ten bras, you will be an A in one, a B in another, a D in another. A 300cc implant could topple a 4 foot woman, and look like a chicken nugget on a six footer. Breast size is a concept of proportions. We consider a classy but juicy breast, what most people would judge a full C small D with good cleavage and lateral fullness, and sloping at the top.The implant size to achieve this will vary with every patient. We never pre-determine implant volume prior to surgery and tell patients not to fixate on specific volume.We want to know what the patient has in mind in terms of fullness and shape (natural slope vs bulging upper pole fullness). Photos are discussed and the limitations of what the patient has to work with. The more natural the pre-op breast, the better the post-op breast. At surgery we develop our pockets and try sizers from small to large. As the breast enlarges it starts out symmetrical. Then the bottom can no longer stretch and the upper pole fills disproportionally. Eventually the upper pole fills to the point that the nipples start to point down. The lower the nipples to start with, the faster they go over the edge. We push the breast until it deforms (either the nipple drops over the edge, or the top looks unnatural depending on the pre-op anatomy). If the patient desired full but natural, we drop back one size and that is the largest implant that looks classy but juicy in that patient. (what most would consider a full C small D). We look at the size of the sizer and replace it with permanent implants of the same size. In most patients, what you see is what you get. If it does not look good on the table, we stay there until it does. After 38 years, we do not put much faith in the concept that if it looks bad at surgery, it will settle and reshape with time.We are fortunate to have all sizes available during surgery. Do not get hung up on implant volume. Tell your surgeon what you have in mind.
There is no exact answer to this. Bras vary depending on the brand, design, style, etc. If you were able to try on the implants, you should put more focus on how they look in the mirror in regards to your hips, waist, shoulders and the overall look you're trying to achieve. Then, whatever bra you wear, you wear. Good luck!
Thank you for your question and photo. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to predict final cup size prior to surgery. If you are unsure about final breast size, ask to "try on" the implants in your surgeon's office, making sure to focus on the "look" rather than the actual size.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
I appreciate your question.It depends on your chest wallmeasurements and existing breast tissue as implant size does not accuratelycorrelate to a bra size. It also depends on the brand and style of brayou wear as size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.The best way to assess and give trueadvice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plasticsurgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.Best of luck!Dr. SchwartzBoardCertified Plastic SurgeonDirector-BeverlyHills Breast and Body Institute#RealSelf100Surgeon
You will be large. Bras are not standard size. But, if you would like to get an idea of your new size, go back to your surgeon, try on the 600cc sizer, and ask to be measured. Otherwise, wait until about 4 to 6 weeks after surgery and be fitted for the right size bra.
Final effect and bra size after breast augmentation varies based on many factors. You will just have to wait.
Thank you for the question. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. For example, I do not think that the generalizations of "150 cc or 200 cc equates to 1 cup" hold any validity or is helpful in any specific way. There are simply too many variables such as a specific patient's dimensions and the variability in bra manufacturer's cup sizes… Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of know words such as “natural” or "D or DD cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
