I am currently a 34B. I am due to have 510cc silicone implants placed under the muscle combined with a breast lift. Can anyone give me guidance on what bra size I will end up. My surgeon has suggested it may be a 34DD/E.
Answer: BBA There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer: Size after augmentation mastopexy In order to better answer your question photos at a minimum would be helpful... But consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is best. Take the time to get a second opinion or at least revisit the surgeon you have selected already. The implant choice will have a lot to do with your dimensions of chest/breasts prior to augmentation. I utilize VECTRA 3D imaging to help patients determine breast implant choice, both with and without mastopexy. Best of luck to you.
