How to Choose the Right-Sized Breast Augmentation

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.

5 Benefits of Breast Augmentation

When you look in the mirror, do you wish you had more curves to fill out your chest area? Not everyone is born with the genetics for full, sexy breasts. If you have wondered whether a breast augmentation procedure could be right for you, consider these five benefits that many women enjoy when they finally get the breasts they desire.

  1. Clothes fit better. A scooped or v-neck shirt or dress is much more flattering when they highlight full breasts. Breast augmentation has helped many women fill out their clothes like never before, giving them more choices in their wardrobe.
  2. A balanced figure. Some women have plenty of curves below the waist, but nothing to balance them on top. Enlarging the breasts can create the balanced hourglass figure that many women have desired.
  3. Feel sexy. Sexy is in the eye of the beholder but feeling sexy is a state of mind. If having fuller breasts makes you feel sexy, that feeling is transparent to others.
  4. More confidence. When you feel good about the way you look, it helps improve your confidence in all aspects of your life.
  5. Look younger, more vivacious. For some older women, a breast augmentation can help them regain the perky, full breasts of their youth, making them look and feel younger.

Deciding to have breast augmentation is a very personal decision. You need to decide whether the benefits you will enjoy are worth the investment in your appearance. If you determine you want to seek an augmentation, find an experienced plastic surgeon that has an excellent reputation for breast enlargements to ensure you get the results you desire.

Are Breast Implants Right for You?

There is a stigma that many people attach to breast implants. The first thought may be of a voluptuous celebrity that quite obviously has had breast implants. However, breast implants are not just for models and actresses – everyday woman use this procedure to improve their appearance and self-confidence. This is a very personal decision that is not right for everyone, but many believe it is one of the best choices they ever made. Here are a few factors to consider that can help you decide if breast implants are right for you.

Why Do You Want Them?

This may sound like a basic question, but take time to consider it seriously. What do you hope to gain by getting breast implants? The answer should start with an “I”: I want to feel more confident in my body. I want to look younger. It should never be for someone else.

What Do You Hope to Achieve?

If you think breast implants will fix your dull sex life with your husband or attract more men, be careful to set such high expectations on one body part. Yes, breast implants can improve your figure and make more men notice you, but they are just one element of your body and do not change who you are.

What Type of Breasts Do I Want?

Is important to consider exactly the size and shape of breasts you want and how this will affect your life and health. A large change in breast size will be very noticeable – you must be ready for peoples’ reactions. Very large breasts can also come with a health price, often causing back problems. Makes sure to think through the possible outcomes and choose a size and shape you will be comfortable with.

If you decide breast implants are the right choice for you, make sure you find an experienced, reputable plastic surgeon to perform your procedure for the best results.

Will I Have a Scar if I Undergo Breast Augmentation?

Many woman desire fuller or larger breasts. Whether Mother Nature did not bless them with large breasts or their breasts changed as they aged or after having children, breast augmentation can give them the breasts they have wanted. But before undergoing surgery, many women are concerned about how their breasts will look after the procedure. One of the most common questions asked is whether they will have a noticeable scar from their breast augmentation surgery.

The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no. Will they have a scar? Yes. Any time there is an incision made into the skin, scar tissue forms. However, whether the scar will be noticeable is the key point. That will depend on the talent and experience of the plastic surgeon.

There is a specialized method in breast augmentation called the invisible scar technique or IST. This technique is only performed by the most skilled plastic surgeons, but it can be very effective at hiding the scar from breast augmentation. IST uses tiny incisions near the areola to access the breast muscle and fascia tissue. This is where the breast implant is inserted and positioned, usually behind the breast muscle for natural results if the surgeon has the right expertise. A talented breast augmentation surgeon who uses the IST can also ensure the incisions are almost invisible when they heal.

If you are considering breast augmentation, but want to ensure you will not have a visible scar, find an experienced plastic surgeon that uses the invisible scar technique. Experience and expertise are very important in this specialized procedure to get the results that you desire.

The Hottest Summer Accessory – Breast Implants

Summer is the time of year that women have a chance to enjoy skimpy halter tops, strapless dresses and bikini tops to show off their curves – unless you don’t have the curves you want on your top. For many women, the lack of size in their breast area can make them feel less sexy, especially in the summer when it is more noticeable. Breast implants can give you the curves you always wanted; strut your stuff this summer with breast enhancement surgery.

If you were not genetically blessed with large or full breasts, you are not alone. In 2015, over 300,000 breast augmentation surgeries were performed in the U.S., the 2nd most popular cosmetic surgery after liposuction. Many of these surgeries were not to give the woman over-sized breasts, but a comfortable, curvy appearance that can lift their self-confidence, especially in skimpy outfits.

Breast enhancement can change your silhouette and give you the shape you always wanted. Whether you want to go from a “B” cup to a “C” or want a fuller, more voluptuous look, breast implants can be the answer. Not only do they increase the size, but they offer a “perkiness” that natural breast tissue loses as you get older. You can go braless under a halter top or sundress and have lifted, prominent breasts that flatter any figure.

If you are ready to start your journey to a curvier top side, contact an experienced plastic surgeon that specializes in breast enhancement surgery. You deserve to feel confident about the way you look all year round – why not start by getting the breasts you always wanted to show off this summer?

Breast Lift or Augmentation: Which is Right for You?

Many women undergo plastic surgery to enhance the appearance of their breasts. Most people assume that if a women is having surgery on her breasts that they are having an augmentation. However, many women are not interested in making their breasts larger or changing the shape, but just want to lift their breasts for a younger, more youthful appearance. If you have been contemplating improving the appearance of your breasts, consider the benefits of a breast lift before adding more size to your breasts. 

What is a Breast Lift?

While an augmentation adds size to breasts with the addition of implants, breast lifts work with the existing breast tissue, addressing excess skin that has caused the breast to sag or droop. Age, pregnancy, breast feeding and weight fluctuations can all impact the skin holding your breasts in place. A breast lift essentially tightens this skin and pushes the breasts back up to their original position, giving you back the perkier breasts of your youth. 

Breast Augmentation

If you are looking to increase the size or change the shape of your breasts, you most likely will want to pursue a breast augmentation. Not everyone that receives a breast augmentation is looking for large breasts. Many only want to enhance the shape, with a slight increase in size. Of course, there is always the option to add more size if that is your preference. 

If changing the appearance of your breasts is on your agenda, take the time to consult a plastic surgeon that specializes in both breast lifts and augmentations. They can go over the pros and cons of both procedures, helping you determine which option will give you the results you want.
