Choosing implant size in breast augmentation

Choice of size is a difficult, but important factor in breast/breast enlargement surgery. 
To my experience, it can go two ways, but from a practitioners point of view it is much more frequent to see patients asking for bigger implants than having it the other way round.
I think a contributing factor is especially that many patients orientate on “celebrity”-examples of patients who have had more than one breast augmentation and in that case tend to look “over”operated indeed.
It is impossible to try a breast implant on like a shirt. You dont get this opportunity in breast augmentation. Several factors need to be considered.
1. Dissatisfaction with breast size is the number one cause for re-operation in breast augmentation surgery. Nevertheless, it is not a revision for a surgical complication because everything may have gone very well.
2. You cannot plan a cup size,a cup size is just a letter. It is more important to gather together photographs of your likes and dislikes when it comes to breast size, shape and form. Different brands of manufacturers will have different cup sizes for the same breast.
3. Sizing implants slipped into your bra can give you a relative estimate of breast implant volume.The tend to look a bit “stuck-on”. Most surgeons, who frequently perform this operation will have a set of sizing implants available for you to examine and place in a bra.
Go for the feeling in size and not for the look.
4.Remember that in breast augmentation there are factors that cannot be changed, like for instance the width of your sternum. Breast enlargement gives you a bigger breast and a certain
Change in shape. However, you cannot buy a breast “of the shelf”
5.The choice of projection and implant shape, be it teardrop or round, will depend on the shape of your breast before the operation and position on the implant. I frequently observe that patients translate a solution from a friend they might know and who has had a breast augmentation to themselves.This does not work this way. Every body is different and everybody is individual.

Breastfeeding after breast augmentation?

Is not normally a problem after straightforward breast enlargement, since the majority of techniques does not interfere with the breat tissue itself, but works underneath the breast  muscle or the breast gland.
