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.

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. the IST breast augmentation procedure 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.
