Rice sizers?? Can anyone tell me where I can buy different size silicone sizers to wear in my bra?

Why don't you try the "at home" method -- measure out 320 cc of rice (1 oz rice = 30cc) into a ziplock baggie and place it into your bra for a day. The next day, add another 50 cc to try out the larger size. Take pictures of yourself in both. This, along with your surgeon's recommendation, should help you make an informed decision.

Although useful as rough guidelines and as communication tools, all the modalities currently used to predict what breast implant size/profile will best achieve a patient's goals with breast augmentation are not very accurate, in my opinion. The use of the rice test, sizers placed beneath a patient's bra, goal pictures, computer imaging technology… are all useful, but not necessarily as accurate as one would hope.In my opinion, nothing will replace careful verbal preoperative communication with your plastic surgeon, preferably in front of a full-length mirror along with the use of as many "communication" tools” listed above.In my practice, I use all of the above modalities and then use intraoperative temporary sizers to help determine the best breast implant size/profile to achieve a patient's specific goals as closely as possible. For this reason, I think it is helpful to have the entire range of breast implant sizes/profiles available in the operating room.Achieving realistic expectations prior to proceeding to the operating room is also an important part of the preoperative communication process. Patients should be aware that the results of their breast augmentation will not necessarily match exactly what they are visualizing with anyone of the above-mentioned communication tools.Given your questions and concerns, and given that your surgery is coming up soon, I would suggest that you schedule additional time to spend with your plastic surgeon. This additional time spent will be helpful in the communication process and in alleviating some of your anxiety.In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.Best wishes; hopefully you will be very pleased with the outcome of the planned procedure.

Thanks for your question.  Yours is a common problem for all women who are interested in a breast augmentation.  I have a solution.  I've developed the DAZZYLLE breast implant sizers.  These are sizers for patients to take home and "test drive".  They are adjustable with saline.  They will allow you to get a feel for the shape and weight associated with different implant volumes.  The volume that you like with the sizers will be helpful for a surgeon in determining which implant size is best for you.  The sizers are not commercially available but will be soon.  I use them with my own patients at this time; however, if you would like to purchase a pair you can contact my office.  Have a great day.
