Here’s another frequently asked question that I hear from most new patients: What sized implants should I choose?

I have a few tips for women who are looking at getting implants that will help them with choosing the size:

• During your initial consultation, you should try on different implants to get an idea of how they will look.
• Ensure that the implants are measured in grams, rather than cup sizes, as these are more accurate. Cup sizes vary across brands.
• Discuss any specific issues or concerns you may have with your doctor so that they are taken into account.
• After your operation, you will experience some swelling which may exaggerate your overall new size. Keep this in mind so that you are prepared for this outcome post-surgery. This will reside within a few weeks.

If you go through and understand the above process, you will find that you are more likely to be satisfied with your operation, and that your results are more likely to match your expectations.

You should already have a fairly accurate idea of how your results will look on your existing shape and proportions before you get any procedures done.
