Most women seeking breast augmentation come to my office with a very specific cup size in mind. At our plastic surgery center, we use cup size as a guide to determine how big of a change a patient is looking to achieve. The problem with cup size is that it all depends on who is making the bra. Rarely are two different bra manufacturers consistent with regard to cup size. In my consultations for breast augmentation, I spend a great deal of time making sure that I understand what a patient is looking to gain from breast enhancement surgery. Recently, I acquired the new breast sizing system by Mentor Corporation, which helps patients quantify the size increase they are looking for with a breast augmentation procedure.
This video blog was filmed to answer this question by demonstrating the sizing system for breast implants. I have created more educational videos that are located on our YouTube page.
