If you could choose your breast size- what size would you be?

I had a mastectomy a few years ago now need to get another one and I can't have reconstruction for a year.
Anyway on a lighter note I get to choose 2 new prosthesis in any size I want!
I've always been rather large so was thinking of going down from an F to a C/D?
If you could choose your size what would you choose?

I'm a 32 EE so would love to go down to a B/C.

Me too!!!

I'm an F. Would love to be a B. I hate having big boobs. I think clothes just look better on a smaller bust and hate having to worry about bras in strappy clothes. In my opinion, not trying to offend anyone who likes bigger ones.

Me too. I hate having big boobs and they look terrible no matter what I wear. Small boobs look great.

I'm a 34K and would probably choose a 34G if I could

RampantIvy · 06/05/2023 13:41

I'm a 32D which is pretty flat chested (I have been professionally fitted). I would like to be a couple of cup sizes larger, then clothes would fit better, and I would be less of a pear. I would love to have a cleavage. My boobs never grew when I was pregnant or breastfeeding either.

Ohfgsjon · 06/05/2023 13:43

32D is in absolutely no way flat chested.

TheDogsMother · 06/05/2023 13:44

I'm a 36 back and a B cup. It's a nice neat size for me.

RampantIvy · 06/05/2023 13:46

Ohfgsjon · 06/05/2023 13:43

32D is in absolutely no way flat chested.

It is very small. A Wacoal 32D bra is only about an inch deep.

Radi0Wales · 06/05/2023 13:46

*That means you have a very broad back or are around a size 14.

Why? I am a 34B already. I'm a size 8-10 not particularly broad

Thequeenofwishfulthinking · 06/05/2023 13:46

I’m a B/C depending on the type of bra. I would love to be a D cup like during my pregnancies. Without all the other symptoms mind!

RampantIvy · 06/05/2023 13:48

If you are an 8 - 10 you would probably look and feel better with a smaller back size and larger cup size. I'm a 12 and wear a 32" band size.

LookItsMeAgain · 06/05/2023 13:49

I'm a 38E/40DD and I'd love to be a 34B.

Sports bras are better and more comfortable for the small of breast. Clothing hangs better on a smaller chest. Having a B cup would significantly improve things for me I think.

Except my husband likes big boobs but if I ever won the lottery, I'd be approaching a top notch cosmetic surgeon and having a lot of nips and tucks (after having 2 kids my stomach has that overhang thing going on, not a muffin top but just lack of muscle tone) and I'd like that sorted at the same time, and maybe slim down my thighs while they are there.

CeeJay81 · 06/05/2023 13:49

32C/D. I'm a small B, just what to be in proportion. Hate my tiny boobs.

vronniecz · 06/05/2023 13:50

A and perfectly happy. I'd have said C when younger but think that would look matronly on my slim frame now I'm older.

Though they're getting larger with peri menopause so 😀🤷‍♀️

PermanentTemporary · 06/05/2023 13:50

I've got a 40 back, one C boob and one B Grin

The C is descending more than the B but for prosthetics I'd probably choose a C. That's partly because I'm a big square shape overall.

RudsyFarmer · 06/05/2023 13:50

I think I’d pick to flatter my body shape. My boobs are massive. Something like an E cup at the moment and I’m desperately trying to lose weight to get them back down to a D. Ideally for me it would be a C I think.

Size 8 to 10 isn't a 34.

Hoppinggreen · 06/05/2023 13:50

Currently 36DD
I used to be 34C and preferred that

Thesharkradar · 06/05/2023 13:52

I'm around a 34B ....if I could choose I'd be so flat chested that I don't need to wear a bra when I go for a run 🏃‍♀️

tiredhadenough · 06/05/2023 13:58

I used to be a b cup but after having children moved up to a d cup. I feel fat with big boobs so would like to go back to smaller ones!!!

I'm also a 12 and wear 32E

I'm really surprised someone size 8-10 can have a 34 band.

Helenahandkart · 06/05/2023 12:20

I’m AAA, so I’d be delighted with a B.

With an AAA you'd be the same measurement around your under bust and over bust which is unlikely. You're probably need a smaller back size and a bigger cup

MrsWidgerysLodger · 06/05/2023 14:02

Currently a H. Would love to be a D/DD

ScatteredShattered · 06/05/2023 14:02

I’d go with 34C, currently 34B.

Soulstirring · 06/05/2023 14:04

I had a reduction from a 34H to
34DD. Much better size. I’d recommend 36D?
