Breast Augmentation and Liposuction Blog - Dr. Bottger

According to one study, 34% of women who chose breast implant reoperation sought a larger implant. Clearly, the expense, exposure to surgery and recovery time involved make choosing the right breast implant size the first time an important matter.

Dr. Bottger's expertise in helping each woman achieve her preferred look covers choosing the size, shape and placement of the implants. While the trend is toward smaller, more proportional implants, he will determine the best technique to obtain whatever contour you prefer, the first time.

Before having breast implant surgery, it's best to be at an optimal weight. Losing weight after breast implant surgery can affect the tautness and shape of your breasts. It's best to lose excess weight first.

If you are considering any other body enhancements such as a tummy tuck, or future pregnancies and breastfeeding, it's very important to discuss this with Dr. Bottger. Breastfeeding is an especially important consideration. Although most women have no problems breastfeeding after having breast implants, you will want to know how your implants might affect your breastfeeding plans.

Please contact cosmetic surgeon, David Bottger, M.D. at one of his Pennsylvania plastic surgery offices in Philadelphia, Newtown Square, Bryn Mawr, or West Chester when you are ready for your breast implant size consultation.
