Breast Implant Sizes Session – CosmeticSurgery411.com

If you have decided to move forward with your plans for a breast augmentation, you will meet your cosmetic surgeon for a breast implant sizing session. But prior to this consultation, there are a few things you can do to gain an idea of what size may fit your goals and your lifestyle more effectively.

First, purchase a bra in the size you are considering, stuff it with something comfortable like small socks or Kleenex, and wear it for a few days. Observe how you look in clothing and assess if the additional size and volume is something you are comfortable with. It is equally important to consider if the new size will limit your lifestyle in regard to any sports or physical activities and hobbies you may enjoy now.

Next, peruse magazines or the internet and print out photos of breasts you would like yours to emulate, and include photos of those you don’t like as well. This will provide concrete visuals to your surgeon to help convey your wishes for surgery.

For the consultation with your cosmetic surgeon, communicate your experience with the larger bra, and discuss the pictures you found. To aid in determining which size will provide your desired look, your surgeon may have you to test various sizes of actual external implants to give you an idea of the weight and feel of larger breasts.

Cosmetic surgeons sometimes also use computer imagery to demonstrate the differences in sizing.

Your cosmetic surgeon can confirm that there are instances when breast implant sizes appear smaller than the same size of natural breasts. For example, a D cup size on augmented breasts may appear to be more of a C, whereas a D cup on natural breasts may look more true to size.

Also during your consultation, which many surgeons provide at no charge, your measurements are taken and your preferences are considered. You and your doctor will discuss the many placement options available and the implant types, shapes and materials used in the process. Based upon your desired look, your current body type and the factors mentioned above, your surgeon would then make a recommendation based upon what is called dimensional planning. While it is always advisable to consider your doctor’s advice, the decision is ultimately yours, and not one to make hastily.

Now that you know how to make the most of your breast implant sizes session, you are one step closer to realizing your dream of larger, fuller breasts.
