What Is The Right Breast Implant Size For You?
Dr Siddharth Prakash, Cosmetic Surgeon, Mumbai.
Breast augmentation is a popular procedure among Indian women. It is, in fact, the most popular cosmetic procedure among Indian women, and it's easy to see why. According to one study, 98 percent of women who have had breast augmentation are pleased with the results.
Prior to surgery, 84% of these women reported being self-conscious about their breasts. However, after surgery, 92 percent of those women expressed increased self-esteem and confidence, and 64 percent indicated an improved quality of life.
More over half of the patients gave their experience a perfect 10 out of 10. To put it another way, it was well worth it for them.
CHOOSING THE CORRECT SIZE
You may have some concerns now that you've decided to have breast augmentation surgery. Size preferences differ from person to person and even between cultures. In my experience, my Asian clients like petite to medium-sized breasts. My American clients frequently requested larger breasts.
As plastic surgeons, we are in the business of making people happy. We are not performing these surgeries for our own profit; rather, we are doing so for the good of the patient. Plastic surgeons have been described as "psychiatrists with a knife" by one person. Because, after all, isn't that what we do? We help our patients enhance their self-esteem and confidence. I help patients choose breast size for breast augmentation depending on their chest size, anatomy, and personal preferences.
WHY DO YOU WANT BREAST AUGMENTATION?
Do you want to equal out your breast sizes since they are uneven? Do you want to enlarge them? Do you want to go a step further? Are you rehabilitating from breast cancer following a mastectomy? As a transgender patient, do you wish to bulk up your chest? Whatever your motivation, use this to help you choose a size.
It is also essential to assess your anatomy. D cups appear differently on a short, petite woman than on a tall, voluptuous woman. Consider your body type and how a specific size might appear on you. The larger the chest, the more volume your surgeon will need to raise the breast size by cup size.
If you are a 32A, for example, you will need 125 CCs for each cup increase. You will need 150 CCs per cup size if you are a 34A. If you're a 36A, you'll need 175, and so on. As a result, the amount of volume required in the implant to achieve the goal is defined by the chest. A patient who is an A cup and wants to be a D cup needs to go up three sizes, which is increased by volume and chest size. If you are a 34, each cup size is 150 CCs, making the breast implants 450 CCs.
