CUP SIZE

The measurement of cup size
Measurement of breast cup size is based on measurement of the chest circumference above the breasts and immediately below them. The two measurements are then used to calculate an estimated breast cup size. However, the presence of ptosis (droopiness of the breast tissue) makes this measurement even more inaccurate and most high-street shop assistants will advise you based more on experience than mathematics.

Prediction of cup size after breast enlargement
The relative nature of breast cup size measurement means that for the same breast volume, cup sizes will be different in women of different height and body frames. This also means that prediction of cup size following surgery may not always be easy to predict accurately. In the case of breast augmentations it is possible to use a sample implant inside a larger size bra to get an idea of the end-result which Mr Grover will illustrate at the time of the consultation. Despite this being only an artificial method, it can make patients appreciate how they would look after breast enlargement surgery.
