Myth No.10 I Can Choose Whatever Bra Cup Size I Want

It is possible to find hundreds of different types, size and quality implants on the market but the size should be decided according to the person’s overall body structure, height and weight. If a patient with low breast tissue chooses a large prosthesis, this leads to an unnatural appearance. At the same time, it makes the prosthesis understandable from the outside and decreases the comfort of life. When choosing a prosthesis, care should be taken to remain as natural as possible. One of the main goals is that the prosthesis will not be apparent and must feel as natural when touched.  In order to choose the most suitable prosthesis, the physician makes a number of measurements and determines the ideal size range according to the general shape of your body. You can choose from a range of dentures in this range.

Breast augmentation surgery provides significant physical and emotional benefits for women who are eligible for surgery. With the developing technology, both natural and long-term results are provided. As in every operation, the communication between the doctor and the patient is very important in aesthetic operations.You should be realistic and if your expectations are realistic, decide implementation.
