Seeking Bigger Boobs - Part 2

Scottsdale – Breast augmentation is the most popular plastic surgery procedure. What do you need to know when seeking bigger boobs?

We already discussed the option between silicone and saline breast implants. The next priority when seeking breast augmentation in Arizona, is the size of the new breast cup desired.

In our opinion, deciding on your new breast size after surgery is the most important decision when it comes to creating satisfaction. Fortunately, the final breast cup can be derived at, using common sense advice.

First, we must look at what the patient brings to the consultation. We must consider the height and weight of the patient. We also look at the proportions. We must consider the current bra size and chest measurements. Patients who are taller and wider can accept and look great with bigger implants. The more petite the person, the more difficult it becomes for them to accept bigger implants.

Second, we must consider what looks good on your body.  This is determined by two important factors. The first, has to do with your actual physical proportions. The second factor is more dependent on society, where you live and what sizes are considered acceptable. For instance, living in Scottsdale, patients spent plenty of time outside in the sun and larger breasts implants are more acceptable. An average size in the warm and sunny southwest, is between 385 to 465 cc.

The situation might be different if you live on the east coast. Patients usually choose smaller implants in this part of the country because outdoor activities are not as popular. Implant volumes less than 325 cc are more popular in this region.

Third, having a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, is one of the most important decisions you can make. We will encourage you to choose the size you believe will make you the happiest, but review the pros and cons of that size. When you are in our office, you will have plenty of time to tell us your desired cup and when you leave, you will be very confident about the size you have chosen.

In general, breast implants larger  than 350 cc are considered to carry higher risks leading to skin stretching, thinning and sagging. The larger the implant, the longer the recovery and there may be more pain for patients who choose larger implants. Large saline breast implants are likely to create a higher risk of rippling.

The bigger the breast implants, the more likely your result will look round, bubbly or fake. A natural result is more likely to be achieved when the implant size is proportional to your body.
