I can understand how confusing it is to you when it comes to choosing the best implant. There is unfortunately no substitute for a personal consultation with a qualified Plastic Surgeon, who can explain the relative pros and cons of each manufacturer, style and size. A well planned breast augmentation is like a bespoke fitted dress and I have found 3-D imaging invaluable in assessing and measuring patients, as well as simulating outcome, so that they can make a fully informed decision about the implant that best suits their individual needs. I would suggest you make an appointment with a BAAPS surgeon in your area and ask about 3-D analysis.
It's hard to determine your best size without specific breast measurements and an in person exam. Remember to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who actually takes the time to measure you and examine your breast pocket. The goal of breast augmentation is to optimally fill your breast pocket, not to overstuff or understuff it. At my practice, we utilize a series of 5 breast measurements that help me determine the implant size, which in turn helps me deliver a 24 hour recovery. Do your research and choose a surgeon who takes the time to sit down with you and discuss your goals/expectations to determine the best size for you. Remember that sizers will only give you a rough estimate. Good luck!!
Anatomic versus round implants have long been debated and the recent American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery this was heavily debated at the scientific session. The jury is not out on this question and the most important thing is making an informed decision and understanding the risks and benefits associated with any type of implant that can include things like rotation or contracture. Finding a board certified plastic surgeon that listens and understands your goals is the most important thing I can recommend! Good luck, MMT
