Breast Enlargement - The Wrong Way To Choose A Size

01/31/2010 - Wellness and Diet - 2 Views One of the major dilemma's facing a women after making the major decision to proceed with breast enlargement surgery is how big to go. Making the right decision about size is important to ensuring overall satisfaction with her investment. Well, to help answer that question it might be helpful to take a look at some ways that are not recommended.

TV, Movies, Magazines: This is a great option for women who don't mind if they end up with a "double breast effect or the "stripper look" or the "floating breast" look. Altering one's body through surgery requires that a woman make choices logically and rationally. Basing your life decisions on what you see in magazines or on TV is not a sensible way to get positive results.

More than anywhere else in the country, California plastic surgeons are challenged with patients who demand implants entirely too large for their body type and frame. The overwhelming pressure there to look like Hollywood stars alters women's perception of normalcy driving them to seek procedures that may come with long-term complications.

Other's experiences: It is likely that friends and other acquaintances will feel compelled to help you with your decision by offering advice and stories about personal experience and stories they've heard from others. While it can be valuable to get a holistic view of what you are getting into, it's also important to take these views as what they are - opinions. Your experience is going to be different than that of others. Focus on deciding what you want, then working with your plastic surgeon on how to best achieve those results on your own body.

Cup or cc size: Everyone has a different idea of what a C cup looks like so if this is the only information you have to give your doctor then it may be difficult for him or her to help you get what you want. Similarly, if you have decided in advance that a 300cc implant is the right one, you may find that this size implant looks different on you then on others.

A better option might be to review before and after photos with them. Ask them to pick out women who share a similar body type and chest size with you. Of those, tell the doctor which results you like best. Also ask the doctor about recommendations on how to try on a few sizes. Wear samples underneath clothing and take a few pictures for review. The let your doctor advise what implant size, shape and placement will achieve what you want.

With time, patience, research and a realistic perspective you can be among the many women who are happy with the end results of their breast enlargement.
