Cup sizes are not perfectly predictable. Not knowing your height, weight, breast volume on photo/exam, it is impossible to counsel you. Likely, you would be somewhere in the C-range but not able to tell you full-C vs small-C. Also, bras are notoriously inconsistent among manufacturers. Did you ask your surgeon what to anticipate?

It is impossible to tell you what cup size you will be without a physical examination. If I were to take a guess, I would say a full C.

Hello,

An implant can have different effects on your overall figure, based on how curvy you are, and how much breast tissue you already have. An in-person consultation with implant sizing is the best way to answer this.

Every 120-150 cubic centimeters will increase your cup size about one.

There is no correlation between implant size and cup size. Get sized in the mirror at a surgeon's office and don't worry about cup sizes. They're irrelevant.

It is not possible to 'predict your cup size"....

Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:

1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.

2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.

In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example,

I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.

Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.

3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.


I hope this helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
