Is the Natrelle Breast Kit Really All That Accurate?

I would not waste my money on it. You only get 4 implants sizes and that is it. You can get a pair of panty hose, sports bra, measuring cup and rice and make your own implants. You can see a description of it on my website journal.
But just discuss this with the plastic surgeon you are going to see and also get their input. But all my patients try the rice test and it gets to be pretty close to their sizing post op.
Good luck.

Women struggle with this decision and there is no great way to help you identify what size is best for you without the help of your surgeon. Nothing placed above the skin can mimic a surgically placed implant.
The kit intentionally avoids putting numbers on the sizers so that you do not have preconceived ideas before going to your surgeon. The forms are to help you see the overall shape of the chest when the devices are in your garment. You are not making a silicone versus saline decision or even deciding between 275 cc and 350cc.
If used properly this is an aid to deciding if this procedure is right for you. Your surgeon will measure you and then discuss implant profiles and breast aesthetics during your consultation.
I hope this helps.

The Natrelle sizing kit has one purpose: to help you decide in the privacy fo your own home whether you like the way you look with bigger breasts.
They are not made out of the same material as the real implants, which are much softer and prettier.
And the final size will be selected by your surgeon together with you based upon the measurements of your tissues and your goals.

So...do you prefer the general way your body looks with the sizers in your bra? If so, then get a consultation with an ASAPS member plastic surgeon.

And one other nice thing about the kit....there are lots of discount coupons on the implants and other stuff that makes the kit pay for itself!

The whole point of the Natrelle kit is just to have a chance to do something interactive and demystify the process of considering augmentation a little bit. The sizers will conform to the bra and of course come in only a limited number of sizes. A lot goes into the sizing decision and the Natrelle kit isn't meant to replace that.

The Natrelle sizing kit has some limitations:
1) The implants all have abnormally high amounts of rippling around the periphery - much greater than a standard breast implant.
2) The implants are filled with neither silicone or saline; they're filled with mineral oil, which really doesn't feel like either.
3) The implants are all low profile; very few implants placed for cosmetic purposes are shaped like this.
That being said, it's a nice starting point prior to consultation with a plastic surgeon. In a bra, you can get a very general sense about implant sizes. It also come with an instructional DVD which answers a lot of questions about breast augmentations, and comes with coupons for discounts on breast implants, Botox, Juvederm and Latisse (all $50 off). Seeing how the kit costs $40 with a $5 shipping and handling fee, it's still a pretty good value.
