Breast Augmentation and You

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the U.S.
Through the breast augmentation consultation, the doctor will examine both breasts and take measurements, so as to give you the best option. The doctor will make special note of nipple position, breast volume, breast width, distance between breasts and breast shape, projection and height of the fold beneath each breast. The doctor will point out assymetries and will explain which of your breast features he/she can improve and how. If you don't feel the doctor is evaluating you breasts carefully amd taking careful measurements before your breast augmentation surgery, you must ask as many question as you can to feel secure.

Sizers are extremely useful in determining your brest size and help eliminate any anxiety you may be feeling. It is recommended to bring two tight sport bras to your breast enhancement consultation, so that you can use implant sizers to determine the volume of breast implants that will give you your desired result. The doctor can offer a suggestion, but ultimately you must make the final decision.
