Breast Augmentation Sizes: Get The Results You Truly Want
Written by admin2 on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at 5:31 AM
Breast augmentation sizing is both a science and an art form for plastic surgeons. Since the body of every woman is different, balancing your desires along with the constraints of modern science can be a difficult task for you doctor. The fact is that not all breast implant sizes are available for every woman. Only your doctor can truly decide what the limitations of your body will be.
One of the biggest problems for the patient can be accurately communicating your desires so that the doctor thoroughly understands the goals of your breast augmentation. Simply talking verbally about a breast size cannot completely adequatelyexplain your desires to the doctor. Breast implant patients will approach this problem in many ways:
* Try on breast implant sizers in the doctors office
* Communicate the bra cup size they would like to wear
* Talk in depth with the doctor about the breast size and shape they would like
* Find photos of other women they want to look like
One method for sizing you may want to use is to photograph yourself wearing breast augmentation sizers in the size and shape you want. Which is better, a photo of another woman or a photo of yourself with the breast size you want? The photographs you bring to the doctor may be helpful even in the operating room while they are performing the procedure.
In order to accomplish this, I would suggest to buy a breast augmentation sizing system that allows you to wear various implant sizes to help you choose what size you prefer. Wear the sizers in any environment you feel comfortable wearing them.
Breast sizers are designed to be comparable in size and volume to breast implants. These systems range from about forty to one hundred dollars. The difference is that the more expensive versions look natural within a bra so as to be undetectable. The cheaper versions are essentially plastic bags filled with water and can be noticed through your clothing, but are adequate for the privacy of your own home. Some women have found that they feel comfortable wearing sizers only out shopping, while others feel comfortable wearing them throughout their daily activities so they get feedback from their family and friends.
Wearing the breast augmentation sizers over a significant period of time is important in terms of making a good decision. You will notice that your decision on implant size will change over time. Some women who have worn breast sizers have decided on a larger breast implant size than they would have before wearing a breast augmentation sizing system. They found that they got over the self-conscious fear of how people would react to their larger size, and actually felt better about their breast implant size decision.
Still others have chosen a smaller breast implant size after attracting unwanted attention. The only way to truly know what you prefer is to wear the breast augmentation sizing system in enough situations so as to experience the feelings brought on by different activities and in different clothing.

They can get a visual glance as to what you might look like with breast implants.

Breast Sizing Systems: Choosing Size By Experience

Breast Sizing
Ask a woman how she feels about breast augmentation after the procedure was done. Studies show that by far most women who have had the procedure done are glad they have done it. If they have a complaint it is usually related to their choice of breast implant size. In fact, the leading cause of subsequent surgeries is really just to change the size of the breast implant. Why is this happening?Let's take a moment and examine how most patients are choosing their breast implant size. In most cases, patients are basing their choice of breast implant size on how various breast implant sizers look on other women's bodies. They are encouraged to look at before and after photos and decide what breast size is right for them. In other cases, women are encouraged to cut out pictures of models with breast sizes they imagine will be right for themselves. Unfortunately, different breast implant sizes look different on each woman's body. This system is just not working well.
Women who are satisfied after breast augmentation surgery talk about how they "feel" about their new breast size. Studies show the main reason women choose breast augmentation is to feel better about their breasts. If that is the case, how is a woman supposed to know how she will "feel" in a C cup or D cup based upon looking at photos? Breast augmentation is rarely just about appearance. Rather, breast augmentation is about feeling better about your breast size through the use of breast implants.
Why are doctors using photos and digital imaging to help patients choose their breast implant size? Unfortunately, it has been the only way to help patients until recently. From the early days of plastic surgery, doctors have presented patients with pictures, photos, and digital software for a patient to see how she will look. For most women, however, "the feeling" is more important than "the look". To truly address the problem of breast implant size, the industry must make moves to help a woman choose her new breast size based upon experience instead of on photos and visualization.
Breast implant sizers are a step in the right direction. With breast implant sizing systems, a patient gets to feel the difference of a B cup, C cup, or D cup. The patient gets the opportunity to see how she feels about herself in each cup size before she makes a final decision. While the doctor may emphasize the way she looks, the patient can now make a decision based upon how she feels. As more and more patients experiment with breast implant sizers we may eventually see more women satisfied with their breast implant size choice after breast augmentation.
The breast implant size choice should be yours to make. You can take charge of that decision by experimenting with breast implant sizers to feel the difference. Try wearing a C cup out shopping one day. Later that day go out for a night on the town and pay attention to how you feel about yourself. The next weekend try the same experiment with a D cup. The more time you invest in trying various breast sizes, the more likely you will be satisfied with your breast augmentation size choice.

Breast Augmentation: How to Use the Rice Test
Written by admin2 on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 11:11 AM
If you are considering breast augmentation you may be wondering about what breast implant size to choose. One of the most common methods to determine the appropriate implant size for your body is known as “The Rice Test”.
This test provides a rough approximation of how you will look with various size implants. It is fun to try and experiment with various sizes while standing in front of a mirror to see what you could look like after breast augmentation.
Breast implant sizes are available in a range from 125cc to 1200cc, but the most common ranges are between 200cc and 500cc. In general, for each cup size you want add to your bust line use approximately 150cc to 200cc of rice. For example, if you are presently wearing an A cup bra and want to move up to a C cup, you would be going up two sizes. Increasing two sizes would require approximately 300cc to 400cc of rice in a zip lock baggie.
Keep in mind that this test is a very rough approximation. Every woman’s body is different. You should meet with a qualified plastic surgeon in order to get more specific sizing recommendations.
To use the rice bag test you will need: 1) Large zip-lock baggies, 2) A large bag of rice, 3) A set of measuring cups, 4) a bra in the size you want to be able to wear. Many doctors recommend using a sports bra for this test in order to emulate the compression of the implants once placed within your body.
To convert your standard measuring cups into cubic centimeters (cc’s), use the chart below:
1 cup = 236cc
¾ cup = 177cc
2/3 cup = 156cc
½ cup = 118cc
1/3 cup = 78cc
¼ cup = 59cc
1/8 cup = 30cc
Using the chart above, if you wanted to create a 300cc implant sizer, use 1 cup (236cc) plus 1/4 cup (59cc) of rice. The total (295cc) will give you a rough look at what you could look like with a 300cc implant.
The benefits of The Rice Bag Test are that it’s a cheap way to stand in front of a mirror with various implant sizes while trying on some of your favorite clothes. For some women, the test is a bit frustrating since the rice bags are square and bulge out of the bra. The square baggies will show through your clothing so you won’t be able to wear them out in public or for any length of time.
There are breast sizing systems available on the market today which solve this problem. Most of them are still made for standing in front of a mirror since they still ripple or bulge out of your bra.
One unique system has been developed which can help you make a breast implant size decision even while wearing form-fitting clothing. The benefits are that you can discretely wear them in public, trying out various implant sizes over an extended period of time.
If you’re going to make the investment in breast augmentation, wouldn’t it make sense to test-drive your new breast size to make sure you choose the right size the first time? The Rice Bag Test is a good way to start but, to make a fully informed decision, try a breast sizing system that you can try out in your normal daily activities. You might be surprised after a few weeks about your final breast implant size choice.
The rice test is the most common method of breast implant sizing. If you're thinking about breast augmentation, one of the first questions you will have is about your choice in breast implant sizes. Whether you use the rice test or a breast implant sizing system, take your time and have fun while you're at it!
Breast Enlargement Size: Improvements Over The Rice Test

The plastic surgeons I've read about seem to agree that is a critical decision in breast augmentation. The most common reason for dissatisfaction is regret over her choice in size. What is being done to correct this problem?
Plastic surgeons seem to agree that women who have received breast implants are almost entirely glad that they did. If there is a reason for dissatisfaction the primary issue seems to be the breast implant size, according to some recent studies. What is being done to correct this issue?
It appears the most common recommendation is the rice test. This involves using a volume of rice comparable to that of an implant in a square little plastic bag, which you then stuff into your bra. The results of the test are crude but give you a rough estimate of what your new breast size might look like. Unfortunately, the statistics have proven this test to be unreliable.
