Many women say that they would like bigger breasts without really
considering precisely what 'bigger' means to them. Even the ones who
know exactly the look they aspire to - and have seen it modelled
perfectly on their favorite celebrity - think in the terms that have
been familiar to women since they bought their first training bra: cup
size. But when it comes down to the nitty gritty of breast
augmentation, surgeons generally use different terminology, and while
the words '800cc breast augmentation' means something very specific to
a plastic surgeon, the women that the things are going into are
thinking, 'What on earth?'
Many women, when contemplating breast surgery, have a particular vision
of what they would like to look like post operation, but achieving the
desired look is not always straightforward. While women will think in
terms of cup size, the implants that a surgeon will use to augment your
breasts do not operate according to this kind of measurement. Implants
are filled with liquid, usually saline or silicone gel, and so they are
measured accordingly. It is estimated that each cup size you would like
to increase is worth approximately 236cc, but unfortunately, this is
not the exact science we might imagine it to be.
An 800cc breast augmentation, for example, will not result in the same
look when implanted in different women. While an implant of that size
will unquestionably result in a breast of significant size, there are
many other factors that will contribute to the overall look of the
augmentation. Apart from the different types of implant that are
available, including shapes that can be round or teardrop shape, much
of the final look will depend on the woman herself, and her original
shape. For this reason, it is important to choose a breast implant
based on cc measurements alone - the same implant can look vastly
different when inserted into different women, depending on many factors
including the patient's weight, the amount of original breast tissue
present, and the shape of the patient's chest cavity. This is why it is
immensely important to take seriously the opinion of your surgeon. He
or she is a medical professional who, through experience, will be best
qualified to indicate the implant most likely to achieve the look you
want.
If you have a precise image of how you would like your breasts to look
post surgery, it is best to provide your surgeon with visual aids, as
words can create vastly different images for different people. Before
your surgery, collect photos of breasts that look the way you would
like to appear, so that your doctor can translate this into the
material, shape and ccs that give you the breasts you've always wanted.
