Q: How to choose breast implant size? asked by Anonymous

A:

The best way to find the proper size for your breast implants is to use preoperative sizers. Most plastic surgeons will have sizers that you can use in their office. Placing the sizers in an appropriate brassiere with your clothes on will give you an excellent idea of how things might look following your breast augmentation. Usually my recommendation is to achieve a natural look with breast implants that will give you a proportionate appearance. You need to take into account your general body size and particularly the width of the chest wall and hips. Some petite women may look augmented with even relatively small implants. Larger women may require large implants to achieve even a proportionate look. Tailoring the operation to each individual is the most important aspect of breast augmentation surgery.
