Breast Implant Size: Take The Issue Seriously

Breast augmentation using breast implants is the most common cosmetic procedure in America. Having come out the shadows from the 1960's, 70's, and 80's, breast augmentation is now a commonly accepted socially.

Have you ever known someone who has had repeated breast augmentations just to change her breast implant size? You probably do. It is the leading cause of patient dissatisfaction and the primary reason women go back for a subsequent surgery.

So how can you make sure you get it done right the first time? How can you avoid the expenses and risks of changing your breast implant size? The first step is to take the decision seriously and to go beyond stuffing your bra with a rice bag while struggling with the decision.

It is surprising how patients have made this critical judgment in the past. One woman I know said she made the decision as she was going under anesthetic-- "Just make them a C cup", she told the doctor. With a decision this important, do you really want to make the decision anything less than completely sober? After all, you are going to be living with your breast size for a long time to come!

Unless, of course, you go back for another operation.

Consider the importance of the breast implant size decision--you are changing the shape of your body through surgery. If you were buying a new car, you would certainly take it serious enough to at least take a test drive, wouldn't you? My guess is you would not even buy a new pair of shoes without trying them out first.

In recent months the industry has given rise to breast implant sizing systems. Getting it right means investing a breast implant sizers and wearing it for a few days or even weeks in your normal daily activities. The best way to choose your breast implant size is to experience what it is like to have larger breasts before you make the decision.

Like a larger, padded bra, a breast implant sizing system allows you to develop a real sense of how you will feel about your body after receiving breast implants. Some of the sizers are designed just for standing in front of a mirror, while others are designed to live with and wear for a while. By spending a few days out wearing various breast sizes, you will begin to know what breast implant size is right for you.

How can you avoid the biggest mistake in breast augmentation? Take the decision seriously, but have fun with it at the same time. Wear a breast implant sizing system to get results with which you will be satisfied.
