What size will I become? I am 5"2' 108 pounds
Answer: Can I estimate what my bra size will be after implants? 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

Answer: Breast augmentation and lift candidate, some advices: 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.-

Answer: NO SUCH THING 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.

Answer: What bra size will you be post-op? 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!
