Breast augmentation 101: How big is too big?

The size of breast implants women choose will directly affect their overall appearance. This is why the choice between subtle change or drastic difference is one for reflection. In the process, women should set realistic expectations regarding their desired cup size and keep in mind that everyone’s body structure is different.

While there’s no such thing as perfect size, Dr. Lloyd Krieger, medical director at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, says that the key is finding a size that’s proportionate to shoulders and hips. Women owe a lot to celebrities like Pamela Anderson, who raised the bar on breast size implants by emphasizing proportionality in achieving a natural look.

Just because they’re big doesn’t mean they’re good. Going unreasonably large looks unattractive and uncomfortable because the implant size leaps out of the rest of the body’s proportions. Women will know what overdone means if their breast size starts to get in the way of their lifestyles. They may have difficulty finding clothes that fit or worse, experience psychological and physical discomfort.

Good doctors will not force an inappropriate implant size and will caution patients against trends. They will spend considerable time with patients discussing patients’ goals and lifestyles, medical risks, and even costs just to help patients make fully informed decisions.
