Bra Measurement: Can I Reduce My Bra Band Size Without Reducing the Cup Size?

Posted on February 18, 2016

Quick blog, but something I see frequently misunderstood by patients.

The number of the bra size is your ribcage measurement;  ie. 32, 34, 36.  The letter is the cup size of the breast tissue; ie. A, B, C, D.

Can you change ribcage size?  The short answer is yes, but only for some people.

These issues are true for making ribcage size bigger. I see women who want to go from a 32 A to a 34 B.  I cannot do this.  I can make them a 32 B or 32 C, as I can increase the cup size with an implant, but I can’t change their ribcage size to a 34.
