How do you know what size to ask for

Hi, I have my e-consult on Tuesday and feel a bit silly asking her this question as its probably a really stupid 1 haha! I am already quite large in the boob area and wear a 36D. After pregnancy and 6 stone weight loss altho I have the tissue there still i have completely lost all firmness. I know most people would suggest I go for an uplift but i actually want bigger boobs.

At the consultation is there a way of trying different implants or bras or anything to gauge the right size for you and how big you want them or do you just have to go with what the consultant suggests?

Don’t feel silly at all!!
For me the first thing they asked was what size was I after (before giving the spiel that they can never guarantee a size) then they exam you to see what size your breast pocket width is to see exactly what they can fit in there.
For each width there is typically about 4 projections of implant that can be offered, low, moderate plus, high and ultra high. You then get to try on the sizers that correspond to this.
For me, I said I wanted to be a C from an A so I only tried on the moderate and high implants for my size which were 255cc and 315cc. If I’d wanted to be bigger, the largest I could have would of been high profile 380cc, as any bigger wouldn’t of fitted in my pocket. So essentially it’s what the consultant measures your body as, and then your preference in projection plus a possible bit of leeway.
Hope all that makes sense?

hey

Exactly what poppy said
Your surgeon will offer you a size what’s based on your measurements
if they don’t allow any bigger then what you wanted then t’s only down to the measurements your surgeon got from your breast width
It’s not safe to put in the wrong size implant
for your body unless it’s a 2nd breast argumentation because your pocket would have stretched out more from your first breast argumentation to accommodate a bigger implant xx

Thank you both so much for your replies, that definitely makes sense and that’s made me feel a lit more comfortable about going along to a consultation now I know what to expect so thank you for the replies 🙂 xxx
