hi ! I just went under surgery on march 12, 2019. i got a breast lift with 400 cc saline implants high moderate profile under the muscle. Before surgery I was 38b im getting crazy waiting for my final results. I would love to know more clarifying about in what cup size will I end up. Im 5'5, 143lbs and 27 years. Right after surgery I went from B to C but im still in the process of dropping and fluffin . I wonder if ill be a D cup by the end of the 3rd month. That would make very happy !

Answer: Not all cups are created equal! Congratulations on your recent surgery! Unfortunately, in breast surgery, it is sometimes difficult to predict what the final cup size of an augmentation or a reduction will be until the time that the patient goes out and gets refitted into a new bra. The number size of a bra is the number of inches around the chest wall measured just under the breasts. If you are a 38, that means you are 38 inches around the chest. You may need to measure that with a tape measure to verify that you are truly are a size 38. Some women have to go up or down on the number size of a bra to get a cup size that fits adequately. A B or C cup is not simply just 2 or 3 cups of water measurement. It is actually a measurement related to the original chest circumference in inches. For example, if you are 38 inches measured at the chest wall and 40 inches around the breasts, then that would be a size B cup. If you are 41 inches around the breasts then you would be a C cup. Therefore, a 32C cup is significantly smaller than someone who wears a size 46C, eventhough it is still considered a "C" cup. Also, the 38 bra cup size may even vary from one bra manufacturer to another. One manufacture you are a"C" cup and another manufacturer you are a 'D" cup. I usually recommend that patients wait at least 6 weeks after surgery before getting refitted into a new bra. If you were 38 B brassiere before surgery and had 400 cc implants placed, I would think you would go up at least 2 cup sizes. If you go shopping at Victoria’s Secrets, you may end up being a size DD cup!
