Breast Implant Sizing

Breast implant sizing is both a science and an art form for breast augmentation doctors. Since every one’s body is different, balancing your desires along with the constraints of modern medicine can be very difficult. The fact is that not all breast implant sizes are available for every woman.

One of the greatest challenges for the patient can be communicating your desires in your breast augmentation consultation so that the doctor thoroughly understands the goals of your breast augmentation. Simply talking verbally about a breast size cannot completely adequately explain your desires to the surgeon. Breast augmentation patients will approach this in many ways:

* Try on breast implant sizers in the doctors office

* Communicate the bra cup size they would like to wear

* Talk in depth with the doctor about the breast size and shape they would like

* Find photos of other women they want to look like

One method for sizing you may want to use is to photograph yourself wearing breast augmentation sizers in the size and shape you want. Which is better, a photo of another woman or a photo of yourself with the breast size you want? The photographs you bring to the doctor may be helpful even in the operating room while they are performing the procedure. In order to accomplish this, buy a breast augmentation sizing system that allows you to wear various implant sizes to help you choose what size you prefer. Wear the sizers in any environment you feel comfortable. Some women have reported they found that they feel comfortable wearing sizers only out shopping, while others feel comfortable wearing them throughout their daily activities so they get feedback from their family and friends, and coworkers.

Wearing the breast sizers over a period of time is important! You will notice that your decision on implant size will change over time. Some women who have worn breast sizers have decided on a larger breast implant size than they would have before wearing a breast augmentation sizing system. They found that they got over the self-conscious fear of how people would react to their larger size, and actually felt better about their breast implant size decision. Still others have chosen a smaller breast implant size after attracting unwanted attention. The only way to truly know what you prefer is to wear the breast implant sizing system in enough situations so as to experience the feelings brought on by different activities and in different clothing.
