Tips for Choosing the Right Breast Implant Size

Breast augmentation through the use of implants is a great way to increase the size of your breasts or restore volume that has been lost due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation was the most popular plastic surgery procedure performed in 2010 and continues to rank high among cosmetic surgeries. Read on for more information on how to choose the right breast implant size to fit your body and desired results.

Consider your Body Frame

You will want to choose a breast implant size that complements the rest of your figure; this means you’ll want to take your current body proportions into account. For example, individuals with smaller body frames may consider choosing implants that are a size C because a larger cup size may lead to back problems and a disproportionate look. Women with larger frames may choose a larger cup size without the risk of back and neck pain. 

Look at Before-and-After Photos

Researching before-and-after pictures of other patients with body types similar to yours is a great way to determine which breast implant size is best for your needs. This will give you an opportunity to see how women with a similar frame and bust size have augmented their breasts—giving you a better idea of which size may be right for you.

Meet With Your Cosmetic Surgeon

One of the best ways to determine which size breast implant suits your body type is to ask for your cosmetic surgeon’s advice. In addition to letting you feel and see different breast implant sizes, your surgeon may provide you with a temporary implant that you can wear inside of your bra to get a better idea of the contours you want to achieve.

3 Signs that You Would Benefit from a Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat tissue from the abdominal area in order to achieve firmer, leaner body contours. However, not all individuals are candidates for plastic surgery. Check out these signs that indicate you may benefit from a tummy tuck:

1. You Are In Good Health
   Like patients of any plastic surgery procedure, candidates for a tummy tuck should be in good general health with realistic expectations regarding the final outcome. It is also important for candidates to be non-smokers who are at a stable weight, as weight fluctuations and tobacco use will interfere with the procedural results. Furthermore, women who are considering future pregnancies will want to postpone tummy tuck procedures until they have finished starting their families.
2. You Wish to Eliminate Excess Skin or Fat Tissue
   Men and women who are suffering from excess skin and fat tissue along the abdomen may benefit from a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck may also be right for you if you are suffering from weakened or separated abdominal muscles, which is common among women who give birth.
3. You Are Committed to Maintaining the Results
   It is important to remember that a tummy tuck is not a permanent solution to weight loss. All candidates for a tummy tuck should be committed to maintaining the results through proper diet, regular exercise, and routine follow-up visits with their cosmetic surgeons.

The best way to determine whether you are a candidate for a tummy tuck is to consult your cosmetic surgeon. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Raymond Faires is devoted to helping patients determine the best procedure for their needs.
