How to pick breast implants.

1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough.

Choosing breast implant sizes

For both the patient and her plastic surgeon, a lot goes into the decision of implant size: it is not as simple as picking a certain sized "cc" implant and expecting it to look good on your chest wall.

It is important to have an honest discussion with your plastic surgeons (get several... more
