Hello,Thank you for your question. There is no standard for sizing between bra manufacturers so it won't be possible for someone to guarantee you a cupsize, however trying on sizers in office under a favorite shift or tank top can give you a very good idea of the look you will achieve. I recommend booking a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specialises in this surgery and who's before and after photos appeal to you. Be sure to express your desired look and bring photos if possible. Your Plastic Surgeon can provide a range of sizes increasing in projection which fit your measurements and will give you proportionate results.All the best!
The best cosmetic result in anyparticular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors,including: Your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thoroughdiscussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding ofthe pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not justabout the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breastdimensions which include the width, height, and projection, aswell as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant.Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tightt-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and yoursurgeon choose the optimal implant.There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the braindustry. The cups of a 32 DD and a 38 DD are significantly different. Cup sizevaries from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from anyparticular manufacturer. Nor is there a direct correlation between implantshape or size and cup size.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this orany other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examiningyou, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking afull medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operativeprocedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that your plasticsurgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally amember of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that youtrust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with thatsurgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
