Breast Implant Size Matters, and So Does Shape

One of the most common questions women who are considering breast augmentation ask is, “What is the perfect size and shape for me?”  One of the most common mistakes made, is choosing an implant that is too big and proves an unnatural amount of projection. In Atlanta, breast augmentation is a fairly common procedure, but it is important that you are fitted with the right shape and size for your specific anatomy. Due to the technical nature of the procedure and all that goes into it, picking the right surgeon is crucial to ensuring you are happy with your breast implants.

There are plenty of things you can do to ensure that you are fitted with the perfect implant for you! First, mentioning your desired cup size is not nearly enough. You need to make sure your surgeon really understands your vision for your body. You can bring in photos of breasts that you like so the surgeon can get a visual of your desires.  Your plastic surgeon will tell you whether or not your chosen look is realistic for your anatomy. Your physician should be able to provide you a way to compare implant sizes and shapes, so you can reach an informed decision together.

Upon consultation, special garments are typically worn so that the patient can get a better idea of what they would look like with each implant size and shape.  The breast implant size you decide on with your surgeon is considered your range.  The surgeon may have multiple shapes and sizes of implants available while operating. They can use disposable sterile ‘sizers’ in your breast during the surgery to see what a particular implant looks like inside of you so that a final decision will be made. This is why it is so important that you vividly communicate your expectations for your breast implants to your surgeon ahead of time and know your desired range.
