Natural looking implant size selection depends on what size you want to be after.

Thank you for your questions. It's difficult to be too specific without photographs or having the advantage of examining you. Volume for volume, silicone implants are lighter and softer than saline. Your discomfort will vary according to how well you normally tolerate pain and how much work needs to be done. For sizing, see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have... more

Breast implant size

The size of the implant depends on what cup size you want to ultimately be. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help you decide an appropriate size range of implants, as well as what to expect in terms of pain after your procedures.

Thank you for your question. To choose your breast implant size, clear communication with your plastic surgeon is important in achieving the desired goals of the patient. I like to communicate with patients with “goal” pictures. During surgery, I use temporary sizers to determine the size/profile that will give the patient the look she is looking for.

It is Impossible to Recommend Implant Sizes over the Internet

Hi there- It is very important for you (and all other patients who ask this question) to understand that a VERY important variable in determining how ANY implant is going to look in ANY individual patient is impossible to understand without an examination (and even then an educated guess is the best that can be given)- that variable is the qualities of your skin, breast tissue, and your muscle (if the implants are going to go under the muscle). Because this variable plays such a... more

I Want Natural-Looking Implants, What's Best If I'm a 38C Now?

A natural looking result after a breast implant depends greatly on the shape of the combined native breast tissue and the implant. The weight difference between silicone and saline is essentially none. Soft is also something that is desirable, but there are risks of scar tissue formation with breast implants that can make them feel or look firm in a percentage of patients. It sounds like you are having a lot of surgery in one day so you will be pretty sore, especially the first few days.... more

Postop pain

Pain can vary greatly by individual, the number of procedures, type of pain medication, etc. On occasion, patients opt to spend one night in the hospital to manage pain rather then go home. What to do needs to be decided at your consultation
