Many women book their breast implant consultations with a cup size in mind as the ultimate goal for their surgeries. However, patients often find that their original cup size goals may not fully reflect the results they want. When discussing breast size and implant size, it’s important to understand that we’re not just talking about the vertical profile of the breast. Width, diameter, and overall shape are also important measurements.
Dr. Maloney will work closely with you to determine the appropriate size and type of implant for your breast augmentation. Here are a few tips to further customize your results and know exactly what to expect from surgery.
Take measurements of your current proportions
During your surgical consultation, you can expect Dr. Maloney to measure your body and breasts to ensure that your implants are a good fit for your proportions. The most important single measurement will be the width of the base of your breasts. This will indicate how wide the base diameter of the implants should be—too wide and your implant will press into your armpit; too narrow and your implants may not look full against your frame.
Try out different implant sizes
Many plastic surgeons will use sizers that you can place into your bra to get a sense for different implant sizes. This is a helpful step in visualizing how implants will sit with your frame.
Rely on technology for a good fit
While sizers may be helpful for getting an idea of the cup size you want, 3D imaging technology will let your surgeon accurately plan and visualize how your exact implants will look. During your consultation, Dr. Maloney can let you see what different implant shapes and profiles within your size range will look like on your frame.
