Breast Implant Sizing Consultation
Breast augmentation is a safe option to get larger or shapelier breasts. But while considering breast enlargement, the number one decision after choosing a surgeon is the choice of implant size. Breast implant sizes vary widely, so you should be able to find an implant to suit your needs. To determine your ideal breast implant size, we’ll need to consider factors such as these:
- Your body proportions
- Your body tissue
- Your current breast size
- The look you want to achieve
Cup Size Comparisons
Although sharing your preferred cup size is useful for communicating your desires to Dr. Basu, aiming for a specified cup size in breast augmentation is not common practice. The inconsistency among bra sizes and manufacturers makes cup size a useless measurement for these purposes.
Breast Implant Sizes
Breast implants are measured in milliliters, with common sizes ranging from 200 to 600 ml. As you go larger, the implant will generally increase in diameter and projection.
Be Proportional
The most attractive results are achieved when patient and surgeon take the time to evaluate body proportions before choosing an implant size. Breast implants that are not proportional with the rest of your features can look unnatural. Super large implants are also thought to carry a higher risk for displacement. Many patients say that to get a better idea of proportional implant size, it is useful to view before and after photos featuring women of a similar body type.
Be Straightforward
If your desire is to increase breast size significantly, be straightforward about telling Dr. Basu. Communicating your goals and desires will make it easier for the doctor to ensure you are satisfied with your breast augmentation.

Houston Breast Implant Sizing Consultation
Once he completes your physical examination, Dr. Basu, discusses implant sizing. He helps you to decide considering the following two factors:
- Dimensional planning
- Gel Implant Sizing system
Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. Even your fitness levels and other relevant criteria are taken into consideration. It is you who will decide what you are comfortable with.
Gel Implant Sizing system - During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for.
This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look.
With this sizing session, you can test sizes using such scientifically tested sizing products.
One of the popular sizing systems, the Natrelle® Pre-Consultation Kit will give you a better idea of how you want to look, and what size of implant you should go for. During the preoperative you will be allowed to try on a bra insert given by Natrelle. Although your measures prior to your final decision are taken, the bra inserts are a good way to feel and look at yourself prior to surgery.
