Choosing the right Breast Implant Size

Houston, Pearland, Sugar Land and Friendswood, Texas

After undergoing breast augmentation surgery, many women wish they had gotten larger breast implants. Deciding what size breast implant for you can be difficult. You don’t want to get implants that are too large because they may interfere with your lifestyle. You also don’t want to get implants that are too small and don’t meet your goals for your breast augmentation surgery. Houston Breast Surgeon Dr. Lapuerta will help you choose the right breast implant size for your lifestyle and goals in a complimentary breast augmentation consultation.

There are several determining factors in deciding the perfect breast implant size for you. You will want to consider:

• Your body type
• Your body shape and size
• Your lifestyle
• The style of clothing you want to wear
• Your specific personal goals

Your Body’s Type, Shape, and Size

Your body type including your shape and size are the most important factors in deciding the breast implant size that is perfect for you. Smaller framed women will want to choose a smaller breast implant size. A larger size will not compliment the body’s natural curves and may not look harmonious with the rest of the body. Women with larger frames will want to choose a larger implant size to accentuate the curves and help the waist visually look slimmer.

Looking at before and after breast augmentation patient photos will help you get a better idea of how different implant sizes will look on your body. You can see photos of women with a similar body type to yours and see how their implants have improved their figures. This will only give you an idea of how your body will look because every woman’s body is different and unique. An experienced breast surgeon will be able to help guide you in your decision.

Your Lifestyle and Style of Clothing

Your lifestyle will have a huge impact on the breast implant size that is perfect for you. Athletic women will want to choose a smaller implant size. Larger implants may interfere with certain athletic activities such as running, jumping, or tumbling. Also, depending on how the implant is placed, building up the chest muscles may cause problems with the implants. Athletic women will want to have their implants placed above the muscle instead of below the muscle to allow for the muscle to change in size without impacting the implant.

It is important to know how your breast implants will look in the style of clothing you wish to wear. Certain clothing will need to be filled out more with larger implants whereas smaller implants will look great in tighter fitting clothing.

Your Personal Goals for Breast Augmentation

Everyone has different goals and desires for breast augmentation. It is important to discuss these goals with Dr. Lapuerta so he understands how best to help you with your decision. Many women consider the following when choosing a breast implant size:

• How the size of implant will improve self-esteem
• How clothing will fit better
• How the implants will improve your natural appearance

There are several reasons for wanting breast augmentation. The most important part of this procedure is your satisfaction. Please be sure to discuss every aspect of the procedure and your goals with Dr. Lapuerta.
