Since people are different sizes, it is only fitting that the breast augmentation procedure offer women the chance to change the size and shape of their breasts. That is why implants are made in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Not every woman is going to want to be the same chest size or shape as another. The many varieties of implants allow women to choose how they want their chest to look. No matter what kind of shape or size implant that is chosen, the goal is the same; to increase the size, shape and appeal of a woman's chest. If you are considering cosmetic surgery to increase your bra size, you should schedule a consultation and talk to a surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation before you have any work done.

As with any medical procedure, there are some factors that need to be taken into consideration before a decision can be made about what kind of implant is going to be best for your body. Even though you may have a particular shape and outcome in mind, your surgeon will be able to determine which implants and implantation method will give you the results you want.

The most popular implant that is used for breast augmentation is the round one. It comes in a variety of projections, this is the way the implant sits leaning away from the chest. High projection implants work well for women who want larger and more voluptuous boobs. The round implant gives the impression of a fuller chest. More cleavage and lift can also be created with the round implants. Keep in mind that this type of implant can give the chest a slightly unnatural appearance due to the fact that the boobs are more round than tear drop shaped. They also are much more affordable than other implants.
If you want more realistic looking boobs, you should consider tear drop shaped implants. The curved and slightly sloped shape causes the chest to appear fuller on the bottom. Because of their more realistic shape, this type of implant costs more than any other implant. If money is not a concern and you want a natural looking chest, the tear shaped implants might work best for you.
Before you get a breast augmentation, it is a good idea that you take some time to learn about the pros and cons of the different implants so you can choose the kind that will give you the results you want. You should also discuss in great detail what options you have and what can be done to give you the chest of your dreams. Make sure that you talk to a surgeon who specializes in breast augmentations. They can help you get the curves you desire and teach you how to maintain them.
