What Size Am I Really??? - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

Okay.....

In the beginning I was wearing 34B's but my ps said I was a C cup. I also had a lot of breast tissue. He didn't measure my ribcage until surgery and he never told me how big it was. When I was sized at Victoria's Secret the girl told me I had a 29" rib cage, which made sense to me because I was mistakenly wearing a 34 band.

A couple of months ago I was measured at Dillards as an E cup; I told the lady that my ribcage was 29". So, 34E.

Everyone has been telling me that they figured I was more like a 32 band. I've always wondered because I was wearing 34's on the tightest hook. So Wednesday I went back to Dillards and was sized again and this time had my rib cage measured and it is indeed 28". The lady told me I needed a 32F.

Does this sound right?? Compared to how large I look? My 32F fits beautifully. Just in need of some advice.

I would say if it feels good and fits right then you are a 32 band!

lennie · 08-29-2008, 10:49 PM

I would have to agree that if it feels right then it must fit.

Yes that is right.

take a cloth measuring tape (easily at duane reade's or rite aid - super cheap) and measure just below your boobs - that's your ribcage measurement. then go here: http://www.justbreastimplants.com/size.htm (w/pic guide here: http://www.justbreastimplants.com/size/size_pics.htm).

I measured my rib cage myself and my mom measured it too; I'm 28". Every time I have gotten measured (cup size) they always measure from my sideboob to my cleavage...they say for augmented breasts this is a more correct way to measure. My boobs measure 11.7" across (up from 11.4" a couple of months back..lol) The F cup looks *huge* until I put it on...then it doesn't look that big at all..?!? It lays flat against my sternum, the underwire is exactly where it is supposed to be, no puckering or gaping, and no muffintops..lol

It's odd because before I was feeling self conscious about my size..like I was too large. But every since I got a bra that fits and supports me, I'm feeling much better about myself.

Thank you ladies!!

DanielleK · 08-30-2008, 03:10 AM

I'd say you look like you have a fairly narrow back, so the 32 sounds just right.

F for Fantastic!

You look great!

brunettebeauty · 08-30-2008, 08:29 AM

Thank you.......I always love hearing from you...makes me feel good getting a compliment from such a knockout!!!!!!

yasminv1 · 08-30-2008, 09:21 AM

Congrats!! Sounds to me like you are a 32. I always thought I was a 32 before BA. When I got measured by PS and at Nordstrom they told me I was a 30 band since I have a 27" ribcage.
