Most women prefer to have breasts that are proportionate to their body. If you are unsure of what your ideal breast size is when looking into breast augmentation, consider the measurements of your body and what size would be most appropriate and natural for you. Typically, women augment their breast size up to 2 cup sizes (for example, an A cup to a C cup). Anything more can pose problems to other parts of a patient’s anatomy, such as pain in the back or shoulders.
The ideal size of your breast implants should be determined by you and your plastic surgeon. Outline your expectations with your plastic surgeon during consultation. Your cosmetic surgeon may recommend that you bring a bra, non-padded and around the size that interests you so that he or she can fit different implant sizers to determine the size that most suits you. Also patients who want to undergo breast augmentation surgery may bring in pictures of breasts they like or dislike so that your cosmetic surgeon can better address the individual’s issues and concerns.
