3 Tips for Choosing Your Breast Implants

You and your surgeon can do many things to customize your breast enhancement surgery to achieve one-of-a-kind, personalized results. We advise our breast augmentation patients in Atlanta that one way to customize their results is to choose implants that reflect their own aesthetic preferences and that flatter their bodies.

Here are 3 tips for selecting the implant size and style that is right for you:

Look at Breast Augmentation Before-and-After Photos

Seeing before-and-after photos of other women who have had breast augmentation can give you a good indication of what to expect. Be sure to look for women whose bodies and breasts are similar to your own. Print out a few pictures that you like, and take them with you to your consultation so you can more easily discuss your preferences with your surgeon.

Choose an Implant Size That Will Look Natural

Breast implants come in many sizes, and there are options that can give you full, yet natural-looking breasts.

Before your surgical consultation, you can get a rough idea of the breast implant size you want by using the rice test, according to VeryWellHealth.com. Of course, the rice test will only give you a vague idea of the size and profile you want to achieve with your breast enhancement surgery. For a more accurate assessment, you’ll need to work with your surgeon to determine the right implant size for your body.

At Plastic Surgery Center of the South, our surgeons will take several measurements of your body in order to determine the right fit. They will also allow you to try on a variety of implant sizers to help you decide.

Choose an Experienced Breast Augmentation Surgeon

Find a qualified specialist who offers a range of options and one who is able to explain what difference each choice will make.

Who you choose to perform your surgery is critical to achieving beautiful results. Select a board-certified surgeon who offers many types and styles of breast implants so that you have a wide variety of options available to you. You can find more tips for finding the best plastic surgeon for you in our related blog post.

Our surgeons not only carry many implant styles, shapes, and sizes, but they also work closely with you to understand your expectations so that they can create the look you want.

We’re always happy to help you explore your breast augmentation options. If you’re ready to discuss your breast implant options with one of our skilled Atlanta-area plastic surgeons, request a consultation online or call us at (770) 421-1242.
