I had my consultation with my doctor and he was fine, he told me I would need a lift along with implants to achieve the fullness I was looking for. Well I went in today to pick a size and I wasn't recommended a size by him and I was helped by an assistant. Is this normal? Should I keep looking? I had no idea what size would be good for the look I was trying to achieve. I was told to pick a few I like and let the surgeon determine which was best.
Answer: Breast implants The surgeon should have a solid pick for implant size and not leave it to an assistant or decide at the time of surgery. That's how patients become unhappy and start blaming the surgeon later. Your surgeon should help you choose a size.

Answer: Breast implant selection Breast implant selection is a complex process and should entail a discussion between you and your surgeon. Your measurements should be taken during a meeting with your surgeon and together you should decide on implant options based on this information and your surgical goals.

Answer: Selecting Implant Size Every surgeon has a different process to select implant size for breast augmentation, including taking specific measurements, 3D imaging simulations, trying on "sizers" to simulate a specific implant size, and more. It is not uncommon for this to be done with a medical assistant, usually with some input from your surgeon, taking into account the characteristics of your breast, and your desired outcome. It is always best to communicate with your surgeon to make sure you are both on the same page. If you still aren't comfortable after that, then a different surgeon may be a better fit for you.

Answer: Size For my patients, we both choose the size during the consultation or the preop examination. I want my patients to be happy and not surprised. If you truly don't know what you want, then let your surgeon pick for you. However, if you don't really know what you want, then perhaps you don't really want surgery.
