When the surgeon is using Breast Implant sizers during surgery to decide on which size to go with, does that mean that the surgeon can see what the actual results of that size will be?
Meaning there's no swelling so that's what the final result will look like once swelling goes down and things have settled?
Answer: Sizers and Real Life
I find that if you try on a 400cc sizer in a bra and place a 400cc implant behind the muscle, the latter will seem smaller. The skin envelope, breast tissue and muscle squash the implants. To avoid this discrepancy I always add 10%, so in the above scenario of a patient liked the 400cc sizer I would likely have placed a 450cc implant!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Do Breast Implant Sizers Accurately Demonstrate Final Results of Surgery? Thank you for your question. Sizers do a good job of estimating the overall volume that you should expect after an augmentation surgery. Your final look depends on your preoperative anatomy. When looking at before-and-after photos of other women, find women who have breasts that are a similar height/weight and those who have breast similar to yours. These are the best examples of what you should expect after augmentation surgery.When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

Answer: Size I understand cup size can very, this is evident by all the different brand bras fitting differently but yet saying their the same size. I perform over a 1000 breast augmentations per year and have asked my patients when they come back how much do they think they went up. Now after years of doing this and having an extremely large group of patients and listening to them this is the estimates I would considerUnder five foot tall 180cc per cup5'-5'3 about 200cc per cup5'4- 5'7 225cc per cupTaller then that most patients feel 225cc up to 250cc can be a cup.I think what more important than cup size is conveying to your surgeon what your expectations are for size. Thats why I believe all patients should perform some type of sizing method disregarding cup size but focusing more on what you like when your wearing the sizers. I would recommend the rice test site. Remember cup size varies based on how the person wears their bra. It also varies based on your anatomy and frame size not to mention how you may like to wear your bra. I would suggest performing the rice test which can be found online to help you with this.

Answer: Use breast implant sizers to determine the size of your implants after augmentation Hi Star24 - Breast implant sizers are great for getting a rough estimate of the volume that you want your implants to be. However, this only gives you a general idea of how you're going to look...not the actual final result. Swelling, skin stretching, and differences in breast tissue may alter the final result. So, be careful in thinking that breast sizers are going to show you exactly how you are going to look after breast augmentation.

Answer: Sizers for breast augmentation surgery As well stated by my colleagues, sizers are useful in the management of breast asymmetry. Intraoperatively they aid in the process of determining volume symmetry but are less beneficial for shape symmetry. If there is a choice between two different implants, sizers will often help make the decision on which to use. The breast changes in the course of the healing process and surgeons use sizers as well as their experience to estimate the final result.
