1.         This is the most common type of question asked by women considering breast augmentation.  The first thing to understand is that it is the surgeon’s job to pick the right breast implants.  It is not your job. Implant selection is a technical decision requiring significant experience.

2.         You need to make sure that your surgeon really understands the look that you want.  Your surgeon’s idea of a beautiful breast may be quite different from yours.  Just mentioning a cup size is not adequate.  Your surgeon should show you pictures of different breasts so that you can point out what you like.  If he or she does not show you pictures, you can provide your own.  Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is appropriate for your anatomy.  The most common mistake is to pick breast implants that are too big.

3.         I strongly recommend that the plastic surgeon not make a final choice of breast implants in advance of surgery.  This is just an educated guess.  The best approach is to make the final implant selection during your surgery.
