在开发标准化的胸罩罩杯系统中存在许多挑战，最重要的是胸罩罩杯尺寸是连续的。女性的乳房有各种各样的形状、大小和体积。患者对胸罩罩杯尺寸有特定的期望，未能达到期望仍然是患者不满的主要原因。决定最终罩杯尺寸的植入物选择在患者教育和患者期望管理中至关重要;然而，在所有人都说相同的罩杯语言之前，这是无法实现的。患者和外科医生的看法可能永远不会准确，但重要的是要建立指导方针和标准来弥合这一差距。
There are many challenges in developing a standardized bra cup system, the most significant being that bra cup sizes are a continuum. Women's breasts occur as afluid range of shapes, sizes, and volumes. Patients have specific expectations regarding bra cup size, and failure to achieve expectations remains the leading cause of patient dissatisfaction. Implant selection that determines eventual bra cup size is critical in patient education and management of patient expectations; however, this is not achievable until all speak the same bra cup language. Patient and surgeon perceptions may never be exact, but it is important to establish guidelines and standards to bridge this gap.
