Breast Augmentation: How To Determine The Best Size For You

If you are planning to get breast augmentation in order to get a bigger chest, you need to think about the size you will go for. This may seem like one of the simplest decisions related to this surgery, but it is a major choice to make. Unlike the incision type or placement, or the type of implant, the size of the breasts will be obvious to everyone. This is why you need to think about this decision.

You can get an idea of the best look for you by checking out a website or computer program that lets you upload a picture of yourself. The next step is to choose each cup size since each one will be shown on your body within the picture, allowing you to get an idea of how it would look. Usually you can immediately see when one option is too large for your frame, or perhaps not enough of a change. Additionally, you can usually save each picture so that you can print each out and compare it to the others. Plus, you can share the pictures with people to get their advice on which sizes look best.

The more traditional, and less technological, method is to put a few different sizes of water balloons under your shirt so that you can really see how different each one looks. You can also use a stocking full of rice, as you can easily add more or take some out as needed while you look in the mirror to see the difference. These are some free ways to get a good idea of the size of implants that you need, even before your breast augmentation consultation.

But the real test will be when you see your doctor before scheduling the surgery. During the initial appointment, you will discuss the many options available to you when it comes to breast augmentation. Of course, size will be one topic to discuss, and your doctor will help you make a decision by using a profile bra that features the many different sizes you can choose from. He or she will offer an opinion that is based on more than just how you look, as it is wise to take into account your frame and the elasticity of your skin, too. All of these aspects should combine to help you make the best decision.

So it is clear by now that you can get a good idea of the best implant dimensions long before getting breast augmentation. But you cannot expect at-home methods to take the place of gaining the advice of a real professional in this field, so be sure to carefully weigh what your doctor says during the initial consultation.
