Selecting the Right Implant
During your Sacramento cosmetic surgery consultation, our goals will include:
- Getting to know you and understanding what you expect from surgery
- Answering all your questions and providing information you need
- Working with you to develop a customized surgical plan
We'll start by learning about your medical history and discussing what you hope to achieve with breast enlargement in Sacramento. During the physical examination, we measure your breast base width and the distance from your sternal notch (the "v" at the base of the throat) to your nipples. We evaluate your breasts for size, shape, symmetry, droop and irregularities. If you should have a special consideration, such as a petite frame or a round rib cage, we'll discuss the implications with you.
Next, we'll talk about your options for incision and implant type, size, shape and more. Because cup size is an imprecise measure, we'll have you try on gel sizers of different volumes in a non-padded bra. Once you select a volume you're comfortable with, we'll add about 10% more, since we've found sizers look bigger sitting in a bra outside your chest than implants will after surgery. Finally, we match the volume you've chosen with your breast base width and select an appropriate profile to achieve your desired result. Learn all the details about types of implants and you'll be able to participate to the fullest extent in all these decisions.
A recent addition to our practice is a 3D imaging system. With the aid of this technology, you and your plastic surgeon can compare how you look now with how you may look after breast augmentation in Sacramento. You can choose different variables, such as size, to help you make final decisions. Learn more at our main Web site, www.thenaturalresult.com.
