Is it normal for a plastic surgeon to never take measurements before a breast augmentation surgery?

Thank you very much for your enquiry.
Each surgeon does vary considerably in how they mark up the bust prior to
breast augmentation surgery.It is normal for surgeons to mark you in an upright position either
standing or sitting to give the best idea of how the bust will look following
surgery. Some surgeons measure with a ruler or other device but other surgeons
feel confident in getting the right appearance with freehand markings.Each surgeon has their own techniques which works well for them and it
may be worthwhile discussing how your surgeon does his markings and what they
mean prior to surgery. You may find it
useful to have a look at our video on our website which
does show some of the markings that we use to get a better understanding of
what’s involved and what the markings mean.
I
hope this helps. 

Hi. This is not unusual. All of us have our recipes for success. This is evident in the final results. I personally do not do lots of measurement. I may measure the breast width but will not be obsessive in my approach to my breast augmentations. I also have been performing breast augmentations for 29 years in the land of breast implants, Miami, Florida. Good luck, Dr. PG

While every surgeon may go about his or her surgery protocols in their own unique way, it seems odd that your surgeon would not take precise measurements prior to breast augmentation surgery. I spend as much time as necessary taking measurements of my patients so I can fully assess what implants will be best for them and so the results are symmetrical. I would be cautious moving forward with this surgeon if measurements are never taken. You should feel comfortable and confident going into surgery that you are in the best hands. Consider consulting with another board certified plastic surgeon to make sure you are comfortable before your surgery.
