John P. Di Saia, MD

Hello, You will find surgeons disagree on this topic.  You really need an exam to figure out sizing. Final sizing is done in the operating room using a sizer for my patients. Your breast diameter and the arrangement of the tissue you have right now also figure into the choice of implant. Best Regards.
