I wonder ~ what my cup size after surgery will be? I barley know my cup size now before surgery, so if someone could help me figure out what size I am now and will be after surgery I will be forever grateful! Over breast ~79cm Under breast 71.5cm I use size 75A but do not fill out the cup. My surgeron told me my breast width is 10.5cm and I will be getting Mentor high Xtra 325cc 10.8cm width, 5.4cm proj. I really want a full C/D after surgery but he wont go bigger and I cant change surgeron.
Answer: Size You did not post photos, which would have been very helpful. However, in most women, 325 cc's will increase them up to two cups.

Answer: Implant size Dear a.swede.with.questions, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Cup size It's difficult to accurately predict cup size with a given implant as these can vary by manufacturer. Based on the information provided you should be in the C/D range after augmentation. Many surgeons have sample implants that you can "try on" to give you an idea of how you may look after surgery. This may guide you with implant selection. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: It's more about the"look" than an actual "cup size" There is no standard bra cup-sizing system. “C cup” can mean one thing if it’s made by Victoria’s Secret and another if it’s made by Vanity Fair. You might need a B cup in a full-coverage bra and a C cup in a demi bra, even if the same company makes both styles. Your cup size is also affected by how tight you make the band. If you wear it tighter, it will push your breasts deeper into the cup and you’ll need a bigger cup size. What looks proportional varies from person to person. Think of “proportional” as a “C look” rather than a “C cup.” To achieve the C look, a 5-foot woman with a small frame might only need a B cup while a 5-foot-8-inch woman with a large frame might need a D cup.

Answer: Anticipated breast augmentation outcome Implant selection is an important part of high patient satisfaction after breast, augmentation surgery. Your surgeon is responsible for helping you pick the correct implants. Each provider will have their own way of assessing or helping patients with implant selection. Some providers will make the final decision regarding the choice of implants while other providers ask patients to choose. There’s no right or wrong way to do this, but it is important to convey and understand what patient hopes and desires are. Using excessively large implants leads to less natural outcomes, higher complication rates, higher revision rates and increases the chance of ultimate implant failure. In that sense your surgeon is being appropriately cautious. Quality breast augmentation is typically based on three variables. The first is the patient’s candidacy for the procedure which varies substantially from one patient to another. The second variable is the choice of implant in regards to type size and shape. The third variable is the surgeons ability to place the implant in the anatomically correct position. All three variables are probably equally as important. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
