Breast Augmentation and Liposuction Blog - Dr. Bottger

Women considering breast augmentation have many different decisions to make prior to surgery. Detailed consultations with an experienced cosmetic surgeon like Philadelphia, Pennsylvania cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bottger will help patients determine:

• Which type of implant to use: silicone or saline
• Where to place the implant: under the breast tissue or under the chest wall/pectoralis muscle
• Where the incision will be placed
• What size of implant to choose

Because each woman is unique and has different expectations for the final result following breast augmentation, finding the perfect breast implant size is not an exact science. However, Dr. Bottger utilizes a variety of methods to help guide each patient toward making the right decision.

Methods

• Before and after photos: Dr. Bottger has performed breast augmentation on hundreds of patients with different body types. Viewing photos of similar bodies can help new patients get an idea of how the surgery will enhance their own bodies.
• Measuring breast dimensions: These measurements will show what size(s) of implants will be most aesthetically pleasing on the new patient’s body frame.
• Implant sizers: Different sized implants placed in bras are worn by the patient to simulate how the new breasts will look in regular clothing.

In short, there is no “perfect” breast implant size. If you are considering changing your appearance through breast augmentation, please contact our office today for a breast enlargement consultation.
