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.

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.

What Is the Breast Implant Invisible Scar Technique?

When choosing to undergo breast augmentation, most women want breasts that will look as natural as possible. This includes shape and size, but it also important that the scar is not visible. With any type of breast implant surgery, an incision must be made to insert the implants. Once the skin is cut, a scar will form when it heals. However, talented plastic surgeons can effectively hide this incision and scar so that it is practically invisible.

The Invisible Scar Technique is a specific method for hiding the incision point for breast augmentation. This method is not just about hiding the scar, but effectively inserting the breast implant for the best results. This method uses a puncture incision at the edge of the areola to access the inside breast tissue. The implant can be inserted behind the muscle to give it more support so that it does not sag or move. The small incision is created using a “bloodless” technique so there is less damage to the tissues and skin, allowing for quicker healing and a less noticeable scar.

When the skin is punctured and heals, scar tissue forms. There is no way to avoid scar tissue altogether, but the Invisible Scar Technique makes it almost impossible to see. After several months, the skin is completely healed. When performed by a plastic surgeon that is experienced with this method, the scar is usually undetectable once it is healed, even to the surgeon who performed the procedure.

For the most natural and lasting results when undergoing breast augmentation, seek a plastic surgeon who specializes in the Invisible Scar Technique for breast implants.

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?
