How Can You Be Sure Of Choosing The Right Size And Shape Of Breast Implants
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerBreast augmentation – the term used for
surgery that enlarges the breasts – remains a hugely popular type of cosmetic
procedure. However, it is partly for this very reason that you will need to
take great care in selecting a shape and size of breast implants that will suit
your needs and desires, including in relation to ensuring a trouble-free
recovery process.
One of the most important things to note
is that it can be extremely difficult to decide on the most appropriate size
and shape of breast implants on your own – and we would advise you against
doing so.
Instead, it is a good idea to discuss with
your surgeon what your wishes and expectations are, and they will be able to
provide their own suggestions and advice, based on their professional expertise
and experience.
Of course, a blog post from ourselves here
at RECOVA cannot substitute for
tailored advice from your chosen surgeon. Nonetheless, for when you do have
that conversation with your surgeon, the following are good broad principles to
bear in mind.
Don’t use bra size as a basis for deciding
on an implant size
It is a common question by patients making
their in-person visit to the clinic for a sizing appointment: “what size
implant will give me this bra cup size?”
The reality is, bra cup sizes can’t be
used as a reliable unit of measurement for breast augmentation. They are simply
too inaccurate, and whether or not you have ever undergone this procedure, you
are likely to find that your bra cup size will differ from one store to the
next.
Instead of bra cup sizes, the customary
unit of measurement for breast implants is cubic centimetres, or CC. The higher
the CC count, the greater the volume of the breast implant. However, there is
no direct and reliable translation of CC to bra cup size, so it is important
not to set your sights too firmly on achieving a specific bra cup size.
Develop an all-round understanding of your
body and your comfort zone
One of the reasons why it is so important
to attend an in-person appointment with a surgeon, is because this will enable
them to take the various measurements that will be crucial for informing your
ultimate choice of breast implant.
You might not initially imagine that such
factors as your height, weight and body frame would necessarily have a drastic
impact on how you choose your breast implant shape and size.
But they are actually all elements that
will make a difference to the result that a particular implant provides; the
ideal size for someone with a small frame can greatly differ from the ideal
size for someone with a medium or large frame. So, your choice of breast
implant needs to be made with careful consideration for your own body.
Something else to bear in mind, is that
your surgeon might specifically advise against you going beyond a certain size
for your implants, depending on what would suit your body shape and the risk of
complications or complaints after surgery.
Focus on your own desires and needs, instead
of comparing yourself to others
Not everyone who seeks out breast
augmentation has the same motivations for doing so. If, however, you have been
inspired to enquire about breast enlargement surgery due to a friend or family
member having undergone the procedure and achieved great results, you should
consider that what looks good on them, won’t necessarily look as good on your
own frame.
Still, if you do know someone personally
who has had breast implants, they could be a great person to turn to for advice
and information. For example, they are likely to be able to give great advice
on recovery from this procedure, including the importance of following the
guidelines you are given for wound aftercare, and choosing the right post-op
bra.
Speaking of post-op bra options, we have excellent ones for you to peruse in the RECOVA store, courtesy of the highly respected VOE brand. These bras can be instrumental in providing all the comfort and support you will need following your surgery, to help ensure you have no regrets about your chosen breast augmentation procedure or any aspect of your recovery.
