subject: Breast Implants And How To Decide The Right Cup Size [print this page]


You're tired of being flat chested and of being unable to find blouses and bathing suits that fit properly. Cleavage? What's that? Or you're a mother to one or more little darlings and have truly enjoyed the breastfeeding experience.

While lactating, your breasts were full and lovely and you felt like a womanly goddess, but when you were finally finished nursing, the unfortunate result to your chest area was a couple of empty pouches. Alluring clothes are nearly impossible to find. The padded push up bra has been somewhat helpful, but let's face it, you want to look good naked. Breast implants, here you come.

The cosmetic surgery which will increase the fullness in your chest area is called breast augmentation, affectionately known as a boob job. It is performed by a reputable plastic surgeon on an outpatient basis (which means that no hospital stay is required). The anesthetic can vary but often is twilight sleep with sedation. During the procedure, an incision is made either in the armpit area, under the breast or around the nipple area.

All three of these locations are ideal spots because they can hide any scarring that may occur. An implant, which may be made of either a silicone solution or saline solution, is placed in the breast area either behind the chest muscle or in front of the muscle and directly beneath the flesh.

But how big should you go? If you go too large, you will appear top heavy or even matronly. If you go too small, well then, what was the point? There are a few ways to decide.

When you go to the initial consultation appointment with your plastic surgeon, it's a good idea to look over the surgeon's selection of "before and after" photos in order to determine what outcomes are actually possible.

Ask your plastic surgeon for his or her opinion, as he or she is specially trained to have an eye for composition, scale and aesthetics. He or she has seen many outcomes of this operation performed on bodies of all shapes and sizes so will certainly have an opinion worth trusting.

You might want to try a few options on for size. Ask your physician to allow you to take home a couple of different sized implants in order to live with them a bit. Place each of the various sized implants in a practice stretchy bra in order to see what your clothes look like and how you feel going out in public.

Do you feel and look sexy and proportioned as a B cup, C cup or D cup? Or do you look unnaturally large? Is the increase of your curviness to such a small degree that it's barely perceptible? Seeing is believing. Ask your best friend, husband, or lover for their honest opinion.

After getting feedback from all of these trusted sources, take a few days to think about it and then trust your own instincts.
