Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Yes, you can change your mind.  It will be very important for you to immediately schedule another consultation with your surgeon.  There are several different methods available to help select the best implant for you.  Many surgeons utilize external sizing implants to help you visualize how you may appear after the procedure.  Many surgeons also utilized Vectra 3-D imaging to also help you visualize your potential outcome.  It is helpful to measure the base diameter of your breast to determine what size would be best for you.  You need to do what is necessary to feel comfortable that all of your concerns have been considered even if it means postponing your procedure.  Good luck.

Yes absolutely you can change her mind before surgery.  However you need to call your plastic surgeon and have an examination and resizing to be certain of your choice.  This must be accomplished in time for the surgeon to have your chosen implants on hand.Placing the implant on the muscle absolutely does not, repeat does not decrease breast implant size by one half.  In my experience the ultimate size is the same with the implant is placed under or over the muscle–just my opinion based on 34 years of experience.
