Your breast implant size for breast augmentation depends on your desires. Considering the aesthetic outcome you want is an important part of your decision. At the Dallas, Texas Cosmetic Surgical Center, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai guides you through your decision and offers suggestions for implant size.
What to Think About before Your Consultation
You and Dr. Rai will discuss breast implant size, in addition to incision options and other surgical factors, during a consultation. Dr. Rai will ask about your desired results, so you should spend some time thinking about size prior to this discussion.
Cup size is useful to the extent that it gets you thinking about your desired outcome. You should not base your decision only on cup size; a C cup will not look the same on every woman. But telling Dr. Rai your desired cup size will give him an idea of what results you are expecting.
An important factor to consider is the visual effect of your breast augmentation. Some women are looking for a dramatic difference while others want a more subtle increase. For example, some women with small breasts desire an implant size that creates breasts that are proportional to their bodies. In other cases, women with larger breasts want a noticeable increase. You should think about what you want your breast size to achieve.
Techniques to visualize breast size are helpful as well. Look at images of women with breast sizes and proportions you might be interested in seeing on yourself. Because of unique body characteristics, a certain size breast will not look the same on any two women. Visualization techniques are helpful nonetheless because they provide both you and Dr. Rai with an idea of your desired breast appearance:
- Bring in photos displaying the results you are looking for
- View photos from Dr. Rai’s before-and-after gallery
Further visualization of your results will be provided during your consultation. At Dr. Rai’s office, we will create an approximation of your results with video imaging technology.
Factors Determining Possible Breast Implant Sizes
The ultimate choice of breast implant size is solely your decision. Dr. Rai’s role is to determine the range of possible breast implant sizes and to guide you in your decision.
Breast surgeon in Dallas, Dr. Vasdev Rai considers your physiological factors, including your:
- Height
- Weight
- Body shape
- Breast and chest dimensions
These parameters play a role in your breast implant size. For safety and to reduce the chances of revision surgery, Dr. Rai determines the largest possible implant size based on physical measurements. The width of your breast base and the amount of breast tissue will have some influence on your breast implant size.
