Choosing to undergo breast augmentation surgery is a very personal decision. Even more personalized is deciding the size and shape of the breasts you desire. What is appropriate for one person is not right for another – it all depends on your personal preference, build, age and other factors. Here are a few things to consider for finding the right size for your breast augmentation.
What Is the Desired Effect?
If you just want a more balanced appearance due to smaller natural breasts, going up to a “B” or “C” cup may be all you need. However, for those that want a more voluptuous appearance, bigger may be better. Just keep in mind that larger breasts can attract attention and may have issues you did not consider, such as clothing fit and back problems.
What Is Your Frame and Body Type?
A “D” or “DD” cup will look different on a small-framed person than a larger-framed person. Breast sizes are not “one-size-fits-all” and just because someone you know looks fabulous at a “DD” does not mean it is right for you. Slimmer builds or small frames may be better suited to a “C” and look larger.
Pregnancy, Age and Other Factors
Keep in mind your age and whether you will have children in the future can impact your breasts. Women who have children may go up in breast size and then shrink after. Weight gain and loss can also impact breast size – if you are planning to lose weight, it could affect your long-term breast size.
The best way to choose the right-sized breast augmentation is to have a honest discussion with your plastic surgeon. Make sure to consider all the factors to make the right choice to assure you will be happy with the long-term results.
