Frequently Asked Questions -
Choosing Your Breast Size
Can you achieve my size goal?
Dr. Zevon will strive to achieve your goal if it is realistic for your anatomy.
How do you determine how many cc's to use to achieve desired results?
During your consultation, Dr. Zevon will talk with you about your desired breast size. You will "try on" different sizes of implants. Taking into account many physical factors, including your height, weight, existing breast volume, shoulder width, chest wall, body fat, breast position, nipple position, asymmetries, spacing between the breasts, laxity of skin, as well as your desired bra size, Dr. Zevon will recommend an implant size for you. There are many options available in size and style to help you achieve your desired outcome.
How long does it take for the implants to soften and settle? In other words how long before what you see is what you get?
It takes 6 months for the implants to soften and settle completely. Most of the settling occurs during the first 2 months.
Explain to me the difference between smooth and textured implants.
The shell of round implants is smooth. In anatomical implants, the manufacturers roughen the shell, giving it a texture similar to velcro. The rougher texture minimizes implant movement.
Tell me the difference between round anatomical (tear drop) implants.
Round implants have been the traditional shape since breast augmentation began. Anatomical implants have a tear drop shape, with less upper quadrant fullness than round implants. Anatomical implants cost about $500 more than round implants. Dr. Zevon will make a recommendation for your optimal implant style during your visit.
