How Does a Plastic Surgeon Help a Patient Choose Implant Size

The volume of your breasts after surgery is simply what you start with plus the size of the extra volume of the breast implant. Breast implant size is determined by volume in cc’s.

Final breast volume = Starting breast volume + implant volume

The “right volume” for a patient is determined by their bodily proportions, body type, and implant type used as well as patient preferences. If you haven’t noticed, breast implants don’t come in A, B, C, D sizes as volume doesn’t relate to cup size at all. In other words, a very thin tall model type body with a medium sized breast implant would have more of a cup sized increase than a fuller bodied woman.

The best way to make the sizing choice for your body is to understand how Kole Plastic Surgery determines final breast implant sizes. This article will give you some advice to help you get the optimal breast size for your body.

Breast Implant size:  Finding a Photographic Equivalent

Breast implant size may not be measured in A, B, C, D cup sizes like you are used to but don’t make the mistake of choosing your potential breast implant volume based on an implant sizing chart.  That choice usually leads to picking an implants size you will most likely be dissatisfied with. Instead, try finding a visual equivalent.

A visual tool gives both you and Dr. Kole an initial starting point.  By using photographs you’re much more likely to end up seeing eye-to- eye with your plastic surgeon and ultimately that increases satisfaction with your breast augmentation surgery. Let’s start the conversation with the simplest tool available:  other people’s photographs.

Patients usually think that a single photo of how they want to look is enough to do the give your surgeon an idea to what you want. When it comes to final breast implant size, three photographs are better than one:

1. Find a photo of breasts that you think are too large for your body type

2. Find a photo of breasts that you think are too small for your body type

3. Find a photo of breasts that you think are “just right” for your body type

It’s important to remember that you will not end up looking exactly like the photo but a good plastic surgeon like Dr. Kole can get you really close.  Everyone’s breast are different so that everyone’s final result will also be different.
