I feel very strongly that decisions about surgery SHOULD NOT be made on the day of surgery.  All of my patients are seen several times prior to surgery and ALL decisions are finalized before the day of surgery.  Being uncertain about what you want or what is going to happen this close to surgery is a recipe for a DISASTER!

	I am very disappointed that you are uncertain about what your final size or appearance will be.  All of my patients arrive on the day of surgery already knowing that they will be VERY HAPPY with their choice of implant size, because they have worn them in a bra and have seen what they will do.

	If  you are not absolutely convinced that you have made the right decision, then DON'T have surgery--that's the bottom line.

t is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon.  In my practice, the use of photographs of &ldquo;goal&rdquo; pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as &ldquo;natural&rdquo; or &ldquo;C cup&rdquo; or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
	Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.
	I use  intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
	I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
	By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is &ldquo;I wish I was bigger&rdquo;.
	I hope this helps.

First of all, there is no guarantee of cup size after augmentation, all sizes look different from person to person. I prefer submuscular placement, as it tends to hide and cover the implant better. You may or may not be a candidate for that procedure, if you have full or mildly low breasts, your contours will look better with an implant over the muscle. If you are a C and you add 350cc, be prepared for a D, especially over the muscle where you can see the most projection. Also rem

I would schedule another consultation with the surgeon to help you with this decision prior to surgery. I can't predict or even begin to estimate your final size without knowing where you are starting. Are you an A cup or C cup. If you are presumably starting with an A. cup, 355cc should take you ON AVERAGE to a full C cup

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

Please make sure that all of your questions are answered by your surgeon before you have surgery.  In most cases, I suggest under the muscle (submuscular) placement of silicone implants.  In most cases, I also use moderate profile implants since high profile may give you an implant looks.  Above the muscle (subglandular) also has a higher chance of giving you a implant look.  So, it all really depends on what you are trying to achieve.  Good luck with your surgery.
