Deciding on breast implant size before and after surgery
One of the biggest decisions to face before your breast enlargement surgery is to choose what size implants and what breast size you would like to be after surgery. One approach is to look photos of celebrities before and after breast enlargement. Although this can be fun and give some indication on size and shape, there are a number of reasons as to why this is not recommended as the only approach that you should use. Read our guide on celebrity plastic surgery and celebrity bra sizes to find out why.
One approach you can try at home to help you determine breast implant after size is the rice test. This simple test will help you simulate how you might look and feel with breast implants after surgery. By varying the volume of rice you use, it will give you an indication of what cup size and breast implant volume (size) may be suitable for you.
The most important factor when deciding on size though, should be your discussion with the surgeon in your breast enlargement surgery consultation.
