The most frequently asked question is “How big should I be?”

Even Hollywood celebrities don’t always get it right the first time around when getting breast implants. The most common mistake is a patient who is small busted settling for an implant only a size bigger. They’re so excited to think they are going to have something to fill out their bra that they settle for less. When a patient does not take the advice of the doctor or his staff regarding size the patient ends up coming back for more.

Size is the most important factor for many women when it comes to getting implants. Your surgeon will ask you what you think your ideal cup size should be and will give you his/her feedback. Remember you want your implants to look natural.

Listen to the doctor’s advice and expertise because not only is he going to advise you cosmetically but he takes your body structure into account as well as the shape of your breasts.
