I’m getting breast implants in a couple of months after wanting them for years, and wondering what size would be the best for a big/full look but not too obviously fake?
Answer: Breast augmentation, 32AA, What size? Thank you for your question. The optimal breast implant size depends greatly on each patient's personal preference. The same implant size in different patients will achieve different breast cup sizes and appearance in each patient. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and having a discussion about your expectations from the procedure. Implant size should only be selected after thorough physical examination, trying on implant sizers in a bra and performing 3-D imaging to give an idea of what the implant would look like on your frame. Best of luck with the process!

Answer: Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. I personally think that the best thing about a breast augmentation consult is that the patient may try implants on. This way, you get a good idea of what size, shape and style will best fit your anatomy and your wishes. A visit to an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon's office should readily help you determine which size you prefer. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast augmentation, 32AA Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. The size for you will depend on what your goals are. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: What size augmentation should you aim for Thank you for your question. This is the most important consideration when planning your surgery. The fist thing to note is that, as you probably know, cup sizes are very variable between shops and bra styles / brands. For example, one could fit into a 'B' cup bra in M&S but in another store, one would fit a 'C' cup. Overall, it is more important to aim for a look rather than a specific cup size. The second aspect to note is that an augmentation must be based around your current anatomy and measurements for it to look appropriate and for safe outcome. During your consultation, your surgeon should take measurements of your existing breast tissue and then help you decide the appropriate size based on your anatomy and on your aesthetic goals. One way to do this is using a sizing kit, which gives you an idea of how you might look after an augmentation using different implant sizes. The third piece of advice is that is always best to see someone who specialises in cosmetic breast surgery, as they will have a full understanding of your options. I hope this helps.

Answer: Choosing the right size breast implant for you After I discuss my patient's goals and measure her, we then look at pictures of women with similar measurements with different size breast implants.
