breast augmentation Baltimore

I can very well remember when I went in for my first breast augmentation consultation. I knew that, eventually, I was going to have breast augmentation, but I wasn't sure - at that point - if the doctor I was talking to was going to be the plastic surgeon I chose to perform my breast augmentation.

One of the first questions he asked was how I saw myself and my breasts. I told him that I wanted to be a D cup.

He smiled and said, "No."

I'm a petite girl, a fact which he reiterated when he told me he wouldn't give me "monster breasts". D's on my frame would make me look as if I were about to float up into outer space.

I was lucky. I had an excellent plastic surgeon. Instead, he gave me a C and I can't tell you how glad I am that he was so honest. With a C, I have natural looking breasts and no one ever suspects that I've had breast augmentation.

Most people, when they begin contemplating breast augmentation, believe that they want to go as big as possible, but if you want to acheive a natural look, you need to figure out exactly what cup size you'd like to be.

How to do this? My plastic surgeon took various implants, filled them with air and had me put them in my bra and see how each one looked. You can do this at home by purchasing various gel inserts and testing them out. Wear them out with your regular outfits and see how you feel. If they feel too big, better to know now than to have to go down a size once you've had your breast augmentation. If they are too small, the same applies.

Big - or huge - is not always the best. Make sure you're comfortable with the size you choose.
