How do I choose my size for breast augmentation?

Doctor's Answers 1

Wise choice. Bigger is not better. One of them aims of sizing during consultation is to ascertain if the size that you like can look natural.

For a DIY technique to decide how much volume is required to get you to your bra size of your choice :

  • Buy the bra that you want to fit into
  • Fill a plastic bag with enough fluid to fill the bra. Rice may be less messy (and can put left overs to good use too)
  • Measure volume of fluid or weight of rice

I am afraid that does not answer the question of whether it looks natural. That's probably best answered after a consult. But at least you have done some ground work.

Hope this is useful!

Are there any side effects such as loss of sensation after breast augmentation?

Sensory loss in the breast or more specifically, the nipple-areolar, complex is an uncommon complication of breast augmentation, occurring in less than 1% of simple breast augmentation. This is more associated with excessively large implants, poor breast pocket dissection and excessive retraction, and the use of surgical incisions around the areolar to place the implant in. I typically place my implants through a tiny incision in the fold on the underside of the breast.

What is the difference between a breast lift vs breast augmentation to increase breast size?

Breast augmentation with implants can increase the size of the breasts and lift the nipple position, whereas a breast lift removes excess breast skin and lifts nipple position without increasing its size. There are techniques to rearrange the breast tissues when doing a breast lift to make it more pert and thereby giving the illusion that it is bigger!
