Breast Implants Size and Sizing

When deciding on breast implants, women often wonder exactly what they will look like after their surgery. This is a valid question, as no one wants to go under the knife to find themselves unhappy with their results. While it is impossible to fully guess what the results of any cosmetic surgery will be, women can take steps to predict what their new breasts will look like.

First, your size is the most important decision, outside of choosing your plastic surgeon, when considering this surgery. Your results, your “after” picture if you will, are going to hinge on the size you choose. Having a good idea in mind of just how big you want to go will help your surgeon lead you to the best choices.

Many surgery centers and plastic surgeons offer size and shape consultations that use computer imaging or “test” implants to help a woman choose her size. Seeing your “new” shape with your clothing on is one of the best ways to decide just how big you want to go. While your final results can vary from these test images, this is a very valuable tool as you make the various decisions facing you during breast augmentation surgery.

Always remember that your frame size is going to play a roll in what looks good on you. If you are six inches taller than your friend who got a “D” cup, you are not going to look the same as her with a matching “D” cup. So always consider your frame when making your decisions.

Remember, listen to your surgeon’s advice. Many women who are unhappy with their results state that it is because they went too small. Trust your plastic surgeon when it comes to helping you choose size and shape for your breast implants.  Women just like you have been down this path before, and your surgeon has the experience to know how to advise you for the best possible outcome.
