800cc
Breast Augmentation Translating the Jargon and Getting the Breasts
You Want.
Many
women say that they would like bigger breasts without really considering
precisely what bigger means to them. Even the ones who know exactly
the look they aspire to - and have seen it modelled perfectly
on their favorite celebrity - think in the terms that have been
familiar to women since they bought their first training bra:
cup size. But when it comes down to the nitty gritty of breast
augmentation, surgeons generally use different terminology, and
while the words 800cc breast augmentations means something very
specific to a plastic surgeon, the women that the things are going
into are thinking What on earth.
Many
women, when contemplating breast surgery, have a particular vision
of what they would like to look like post operation, but achieving
the desired look is not always straightforward. While women will
think in terms of cup size, the implants that a surgeon will use
to augment your breasts do not operate according to this kind
of measurement. Implants are filled with liquid, usually saline
or silicone gel, and so they are measured accordingly. It is estimated
that each cup size you would like to increase is worth approximately
236cc, but unfortunately, this is not the exact science we might
imagine it to be.
An
800cc breast augmentation, for example, will not result in the
same look when implanted in different women. While an implant
of that size will unquestionably result in a breast of significant
size, there are many other factors that will contribute to the
overall look of the augmentation. Apart from the different types
of implant that are available, including shapes that can be round
or teardrop shape, much of the final look will depend on the woman
herself, and her original shape. For this reason, it is important
to choose a breast implant based on cc measurements alone - the
same implant can look vastly different when inserted into different
women, depending on many factors including the patient's
weight, the amount of original breast tissue present, and the
shape of the patient's chest cavity. This is why it is immensely
important to take seriously the opinion of your surgeon. He or
she is a medical professional who, through experience, will be
best qualified to indicate the implant most likely to achieve
the look you want.
If
you have a precise image of how you would like your breasts to
look post surgery, it is best to provide your surgeon with visual
aids, as words can create vastly different images for different
people. Before your surgery, collect photos of breasts that look
the way you would like to appear, so that your doctor can translate
this into the material, shape and ccs that give you the breasts
you've always wanted.
