The Best Breast Size



How big is big??  One of the most difficult questions for my patients undergoing breast augmentation is deciding their new breast size. 

There’s a great deal  to consider.  What look does the patient want?  What is safe for them?  What will offer the most natural results?  How much cleavage?

The best breast size is the size that best fits your body.   I  also take into account   body image, as each woman has their own  unique  image.  

Regardless of your cup size or the shape of your breasts, I need to determine the best size and shape for you, and what you are comfortable with.   During breast augmentation consultations, I discuss this at length with my patients and ask them to try  different sizes in a jogging bra,
At least two weeks prior to the surgery, I lay out several sizes of implants and have the patient put on a jogging bra and together we select the best implant size.    The patient is not told the volume of the implant at that time, and  only comments on whether or not she likes or dislikes the look with the implant under the jogging bra.  
It’s vitally important that patients are comfortable and happy  with this long term decision.
