Breast Implant Sizing: How Will You Feel About Your New Breast Size?

Ask a woman how she feels about breast augmentation after the procedure was done. Studies show that by far most women who have had the procedure done are glad they have done it. If they have a complaint it is usually related to their choice of breast implant size. In fact, the leading cause of subsequent surgeries is really just to change the size of the breast implant. Why is this happening?

Let’s take a moment and examine how most patients are choosing their breast implant size. In most cases, patients are basing their choice of breast implant size on how various breast implant sizers look on other women’s bodies. They are encouraged to look at before and after photos and decide what breast size is right for them. In other cases, women are encouraged to cut out pictures of models with breast sizes they imagine will be right for themselves. Unfortunately, different breast implant sizes look different on each woman’s body. This system is just not working well.

Women who are satisfied after breast augmentation surgery talk about how they “feel” about their new breast size. Studies show the main reason women choose breast augmentation is to feel better about their breasts. If that is the case, how is a woman supposed to know how she will “feel” in a C cup or D cup based upon looking at photos? Breast augmentation is rarely just about appearance. Rather, breast augmentation is about feeling better about your breast size through the use of breast implants.

Why are doctors using photos and digital imaging to help patients choose their breast implant size? Unfortunately, it has been the only way to help patients until recently. From the early days of plastic surgery, doctors have presented patients with pictures, photos, and digital software for a patient to see how she will look. For most women, however, “the feeling” is more important than “the look”. To truly address the problem of breast implant size, the industry must make moves to help a woman choose her new breast size based upon experience instead of on photos and visualization.

Breast implant sizers are a step in the right direction. With breast implant sizing systems, a patient gets to feel the difference of a B cup, C cup, or D cup. The patient gets the opportunity to see how she feels about herself in each cup size before she makes a final decision. While the doctor may emphasize the way she looks, the patient can now make a decision based upon how she feels. As more and more patients experiment with breast implant sizers we may eventually see more women satisfied with their breast implant size choice after breast augmentation.

The breast implant size choice should be yours to make. You can take charge of that decision by experimenting with breast implant sizers to feel the difference. Try wearing a C cup out shopping one day. Later that day go out for a night on the town and pay attention to how you feel about yourself. The next weekend try the same experiment with a D cup. The more time you invest in trying various breast sizes, the more likely you will be satisfied with your breast augmentation size choice.

Breast Augmentation Sizing: Get the Results You Want

Breast augmentation sizing is both a science and an art form for plastic surgeons. Since every human body is different, balancing your desires along with the constraints of modern medicine can be difficult.

One of the greatest challenges for you can be communicating your desires so that the plastic surgeon thoroughly understands the goals of your breast augmentation. Breast augmentation patients will approach this in many ways:

Try on breast implant sizers in the doctors office

Communicate the bra cup size they would like to wear

Talk in depth with the doctor about the breast size and shape they would like

Find photos of other women they want to look like 
 

One method you may want to consider is to photograph yourself wearing breast augmentation sizers in the size and shape you want. Which is better, a photo of another woman or a photo of yourself with the breast size you want? The photographs you bring to the doctor may be helpful even in the operating room while they are performing the procedure. 
 
In order to accomplish this, buy a breast augmentation sizing system that allows you to wear various implant sizes to help you choose what size you prefer. Wear the sizers in any environment you feel comfortable. Some women have found that they feel comfortable wearing sizers only out shopping, while others feel comfortable wearing them throughout their daily activities so they get feedback from their family and friends.
 
Wearing the breast sizers over a period of time is important! You will notice that your decision on implant size will change over time. Some women who have worn breast sizers have decided on a larger breast implant size than they would have before wearing a breast augmentation sizing system. They found that they got over the self-conscious fear of how people would react to their larger size, and actually felt better about their breast implant size decision.
 
Still others have chosen a smaller breast implant size after attracting unwanted attention.   The only way to truly know what you prefer is to wear the breast augmentation sizing system in enough situations so as to experience the feelings brought on by different activities and in different clothing.
 
After you have decided on a breast implant size, take photos of yourself in a few outfits wearing your preferred look resulting from the breast augmentation sizing system. Your doctor will appreciate it when you wear the breast sizers to the office and bring along your photos.
 
A new breast augmentation sizing system is available on the market that you can wear discretely and look natural in most clothing. The Purlz Breast Sizing System gives you the opportunity to experience various implant sizes over a period of time. Investing in a breast augmentation system is a small cost compared to an additional operation just to change your breast implant size!  The Purlz Breast Sizing System by L.W.
