Answer: Implant size and type Dear krshuey,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.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Implant sizes It is always hard for anyone to give advice when they’ve never met or examined someone. I would have to say those implant sizes are definitely on the big side. In 22 years of practice I have never used anything that large for a primary breast augmentation. Outside of reconstruction for cancer that is still on the big side. I’m hoping that you tried on sizers at your consultation and looked at either computer imaging or before and after photos with similar sizes to be sure that is a lucky were going for. Not everybody has the same opinion of an ideal result. I personally feel there are more potential problems when going too big. If you are not comfortable with the choices you have made thus far contact your surgeon and try to re-discuss your options or meet again before your surgery to be sure you are both on the same page. Best of luck,
