I don’t like how a lot of women’s breast looked after their surgery when they have such small ones to begin with. How do you avoid the weird beach ball look? Is it true that you should only go one cup six larger?

Measurements of your base diameter helps us plan the largest implant best for you.Implants in a bra to determine what is harmonious in your body as well as allows us to look at what you feels is appropriate for you. we take photos and allow you to look and discuss with friends at home as to what is too big or too little for you.Computer generated images with your breasts and different implant dimensions can be used as well.Then, the surgeon can determine if that size/appearance is reasonable for your body and soft tissue coveragecoverage.

Answer: Implant size and type Dear Botenanna406, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Size Selection Good morning!You need to have your chest measured, bring in desired goal photos, and then try on the implant sizers. You may love 250cc, or you may love 350cc- to avoid the beach ball look stick with silicone gel implants and avoid saline.

Answer: I have a 28a cup size. I’m a 29 year old female who is 5’7". I am wondering how big someone so small should go? Thank you for your question and photograph. I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing a series of ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations and it would be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. Best wishes!

Answer: Good question... Thank you for your question and photo. The “augmented” look is one we try to avoid in all of our patients, and the most common reason for disappointment after breast augmentation is size. In our office there are three elements that go into the decision regarding implant selection, and we rarely go to surgery with only one size. First I interview all my patents to learn exactly what their goals are "in words". Then I examine and measure to see what implant dimensions would "fit" into her breasts. You cannot put a size 4 shoe on a size 8 foot. We then have an understanding of which base width would be suitable, but for that exact width there are at least 4 different implants that might fit (low profile, moderate plus, high, or ultra high) and this relates to "the look" one is trying to achieve-conservative (natural) ballerina or exaggerated "augmented" look with round and very large breasts, or perhaps something in between. We then use on lay forms that will show you what you are likely to look like in an unpadded bra. They come in 100 cc increments and one can even add a 50 cc only to be as precise as possible. Finally, we ask all of our patients to use our "What Size Should I Be" functionality on our website that allows you to plug in your height, weight, and current bra size. This will bring up all of the patients in our gallery who fit your demographic and can give you a visual idea of what you can expect after your surgery, remembering always that no two patients are exactly the same. The most important step for you is to determine who is the best surgeon for you based on his or her before and after gallery, and if your interaction with your surgeon and his or her office staff feels right. Finally, be sure that your own sense of aesthetics aligns with that of your surgeon. Best of luck to you.
