Thanks for your question.There is no specific "ideal" breast size for women.It should be the right breast size that you are going to be happy at.In recommending implant size, I base it on dimensional planning (on each patient's chest width, chest height, breast tissue) and her desired look.Please review before and after photo gallery and select the look that you desire.After examining you in-person and understanding your goal, your plastic surgeon should guide you to the right implant size for you.Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn about implant and augmentation.Best regards.
Hello and thank you for your question. First of all, every woman has a unique view of their body image and ideal shape. With respect to breast implants, I want to start off by tellingyou what I tell many of my patients: Do not focus on cc's or bra sizesas many women see their friend with "x" number of cc implants etc andthink that they have an idea of what they want. There is a lot that goes intoimplant selection -- your breast volume, the amount of cleavage you wantto achieve, your base width, your rib shape/projection, etc. Without seeing you and doing yourmeasurements or having photos to assess your starting point, it isdifficult to assess accurately your final breast size or shape. The other thing to consider is that most women are not accurately sized for their bras. Different bra companies are sized differently and employees at various clothing stores will not use the same criteria to measure one's bra size.The most important thing to consideris really the size and look that is appealing to YOU with the implantsyou choose. Many surgeons have sizing models whether using bras withimplants or computer simulation. I encourage you to discuss with yoursurgeon many of these considerations when deciding whichimplant and size to use during your surgery. Additionally, a breastimplant is a round object and has a certain diameter. Your base widthon each side of your chest will determine "how big of a ball" or whatdiameter implant you can reliably go up to with a socially acceptablecosmetic outcome. The implant will "augment" or increase the size of your breasts to an amount acceptable to you and your surgeon. My patients will try on a sports bra and then we pick the implants based on their measured breast base width. I have them try on implants of different sizes up to this maximum allowed size. Once they find a size that they like, they can even put their favorite T-shirt or shirt over the anticipated bra with implants. This helps my patients choose the shape that is most appealing to them. Remember, pick the implant that makes YOU the happiest. In reality, don't stress too much as this is the fun part of the process. =) Go with what is acceptable based on your measurements and makes you happiest and make sure to weigh the pros and cons of the options you are considering. It is a good thing that you are doing your research before making a final decision. When the appropriate steps are taken similar to above with a board certified plastic surgeon, most women experience very high satisfaction rates with breast augmentation. I hope thishelps answer your question!
