Abstract

Plastic surgery literature does not teach us much about the size of breast prostheses required to get the cup size the patient wants in breast augmentation. The purpose of this study is to allow predictability of the increase in cup size using a series of measurements and to correlate them with volume changes and the required volume of implants to achieve the desired change in bra cup size.
