Breast Implant Size

    PHOENIX, AZ, June 20, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The size of your breast implants will, of course, play a role in the final appearance of your breast augmentation procedure. Contrary to popular belief, bigger is not always better, particularly when it comes to breast implants. This is something that will be discussed with you during your initial consultation with your breast augmentation surgeon.

The size of your breast implants should be tailored to meet both your anatomical needs and aesthetic desires. This requires a breast surgeon who is willing to work with you on a personal level. When selecting a breast surgeon, be sure to select someone who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Also choose someone who you trust will have your emotional and physical best interests in mind at all times.

Other Breast Augmentation Options

Your breast surgeon will offer you several breast augmentation options. Like the size of the breast implants selected, all of your breast augmentation options will play a role in the final appearance of your procedure.

Options offered by your breast surgeon may include:

- Breast augmentation incision options
-- Periariolar - around the nipple
-- Inframammary - in the fold between breast and chest
-- Transaxillary - through the armpit

- Breast implant placement
-- Subglandular - below breast tissue, above chest muscles
-- Submuscular - below both breast tissue and chest muscles

- Breast implant options
-- Size, shape, and profile
-- Texture
-- Saline or silicone

These are all decisions your plastic surgeon will need to make prior to your breast augmentation surgery. Each of these decisions will impact your final aesthetic results. They can also impact surgical and recovery time, potential complications, and implant longevity.

A board-certified breast surgeon will evaluate your frame, paying close attention to the size, shape, and location of your breasts to help you determine the best breast augmentation options for your specific procedure.
