How is breast implant size determined?
This is a question that is asked by almost all of my patients desiring breast augmentation. Patients usually present me with a size request that they desire and it is often a C cup. The ultimate size cannot be guaranteed but it is unusual not to be able to meet the patient's expectations. By using a custom sizing system and employing sizing breast implants when performing breast augmentation surgery, the patient's goal can generally be achieved. Custom sizing involves taking several measurements including breast width, height of nipple from the underlying fold and assessment of the overall skin elasticity. When placing a breast implant sizer in surgery I will usually place the larger implant if possible, as most patients tend to prefer the larger breast implant.
