Things You Must Know Before a Boob Job

• Bra size is relative. The bra size is measured by measuring the circumference of your chest (this is the chest size), then the circumference around your bust. The difference between the chest circumference and the circumference around your bust gives the cup size. The 1-inch difference is an A cup, 2 inches is a B cup, 3 inches a C cup and so on. Because the cup size is the difference between your chest and your bust circumference, it is not an absolute measurement, an A cup will be different for a person with a wide chest compared to someone with a narrow chest. Therefore, I cannot show you a photograph of a pair of breasts and tell you the cup size, because the same sized breasts on you may be a different cup size if your chest circumference is different to the person in the photograph.
• Bra size varies between manufacturers. I often have patients tell me that they wear a C cup in one make of bra or a D cup in another make
• People often wear the wrong bra. Most people could probably fit into one cup size bigger or one cup size smaller than they normally wear if they were to adjust the strap size. It may well be that someone who is a 34D could wear a 36C or a 32DD.

Having said all that, bra size is all we have got to go on, so I always ask what cup size you would like to be. Just don’t be surprised when I say that I can’t guarantee that I will achieve it!
