Breast Augmentation Sizing

Which Breast Implant Size Is Best For You?

The hardest thing for most women for breast augmentation in deciding what size to be.

Most women fear being too large and tend to underestimate the implant they need or want.

Many women come to Dr. Jacobsen with a particular size that they wish to have placed. They usually have done this mathematics and made this decision by basing it on their friends or the people that they know that have had a breast augmentation. They often say that their friend who had a 350 mL implant now as a double D so they want to be smaller. Oftentimes they neglect to understand that each patient is entirely different. The vertical height of the chest and the transverse dimension and measurements of the chest as well as the shoulder dimensions whether they are brought her narrow, or whether the patient is quite thick or thin or medium matters regarding the sizing of the breast implant as well. Also, the other factors may include the height and overall weight of the patient. Other factors include how much breast tissue the patient already has. Other factors include how much of the breast is in the lower part of the breast and how much of it is in the upper part of the breast. Other influences on the size of the breast that is required to give you your look is whether or not your breast has changed before, after having children. This softens the breast considerably and reduces the upper pole fullness.

The size of your brassiere is quite misleading. Depending on what manufacturer you go to to purchase your brassiere you will find that there is different sizes of the cups. A “D” size brassiere cup can be significantly different in each manufacturer in each department store were ever you get your brassieres. Because you fit into “D” brassiere I was certain manufacturer does not mean that that is exactly the same volume that you are with someone else that fits into that same brassiere.

It is better that you look the way you want to look and not necessarily fit into what bra has a certain labeled size.

Dr. Jacobsen gives to you implants to see of various sizes to use to get a basic idea by touching and feeling them.

But they are different in their shape and size and projection that they give you once they are inside your body then they are when they are outside your body.

Some women like to put the sample breast implants into their brassiere to see if it gives them the size or projection at they wish but normally this does not work to well. This shape of the implant when it is stuffed into the bra does not give the same volume and shape that you would normally see if it were placed under the breast tissue and muscle so it commonly missed leads ladies in trying to find the RIGHT size. But at least it gives her some idea.

The best way to most accurately get what you want is to show Dr. Jacobsen photographs of other women who have had breast augmentation and have a size and shape that you like. Once Dr. Jacobsen sees this size and the shape and the dimension and proportion he can usually calculate very accurately the implant that will give you the look that you want. In doing so you do not have to do the mathematics and choose the implant size that you wish.

Some surgeons well compel you to choose the milliliters or the cc of the implant you wish. This way you get what you get and whether you’re too big or too small you have chosen your size and then there you go. And you are left with what “ccs” you asked for whether it looks good or not.

I think it is better if you send pictures to Dr. Jacobsen and show us photographs of women that are your size and shape and body habitus. Women that are about your age about your weight about your height about your shoulder dimension and show us breasts that have this size and dimension that you prefer. Often women will send us photographs of ladies that are too far apart in the middle or too high or too low or too close in the middle or too big or too small this is also very helpful.

The more Dr. Jacobsen can see what you want to look like the more closely he can achieve your goal for your cosmetic enhancement.

Feel free to send these photos of other women that have the look you wish to achieve and then we can talk about the implant size that works for you. These photos can be found all over the Internet in various places. You may have to spend some time finding them. Send only photos of woman with no clothing over their breasts. Most brassieres and dresses and bikinis tend to hold the breasts upper in and then then to give the appearance of a larger breast.

Send photos to us at any time and we will keep them very private and secure for you. www.sendasecurephoto.com

Dr. Jacobsen always brings multiple size implants to the operating room so that he can sit you up while you are asleep and achieve the look that you are hoping for as close as possible.

The more you communicate with Dr. Jacobsen the more closely we will be able to give you the size that you wish.

  • Dr. J has an amazing personality and the surgery was quick, painless, and perfect. I didn’t even need to take any painkillers after I woke up. I look and feel so much better. Would highly recommend him to anyone considering surgery. The staff was also incredibly easy to work with. All around great office energy and the medical staff at the surgery center are so sweet.

  • I’m 9 days post op and I’m very happy with the results so far (still healing). Dr. J is easy to talk to. I went in for a consult and was able to schedule the procedure for the very next week. All went very well. I was so afraid to remove the bandages - I was expecting a bloody/bruised mess. I was pleasantly surprised to see tiny incisions with no scabbing or bruising. I’m very impressed.

  • Enjoyed meeting and working with Dr. J. I had an eye lift and it was a pleasant experience from start to finish. Dr. J’s bed side manner is very personable and genuine. He explained everything step by step and made the procedure very painless. Even though I’m from Minnesota - I will be coming to Dr. J for any future cosmetic surgical needs. I cannot recommend Dr. J enough.

  • What a brilliant human! I’m so thankful for finding this amazing genius. I’ve struggled with skin sagging since my weight loss surgery. My arms were my nemesis, I have other skin removal surgeries to have in the future but my arms were really my starting point and I had went to try to freeze the remaining stubborn fat and skin to hopefully shrink. Yeah that didn’t work. Then I found this guy, he’s awesome, his staff is awesome and professional and I cannot say thank you enough to this life changing leap into the rest of my journey. I truly and blessed to have had the opportunity to be able to experience the joy he has for his craft. He has truly changed my life. Thank you Dr. J.

  • I, Theresa Buschbacher, prepared this review and submitted it on my husband,s account. Superb, Excellent, Caring, Compassionate, Knowledgeable, Experienced, these are all descriptive terms that one must earn. Dr.J has completely filled the requirements of each and every of these terms and they can all equally be applied to him. His knowledge immediately puts you at ease (and when what he says will happen does actually happen, you get a big smile inside and you know you have a relationship with an excellent doctor)! Now for the support staff, they relate to you and express a genuine concern for what you are going through. They work with you and put you at ease while accomplishing what is needed for the “business end” of the doctor’s office. This is a WINNER!!

  • This will be a long review but worth the read! I'm beyond impressed with the overall quality, cleanliness, prices, customer service and results. First impressions, their branding of their classy theme provided an elegance that I felt right at home. I felt like a king who was going to get the best treatment! Secondly, very clean... I mean this place was immaculate! You can tell these folks worked hard to build their business and put in the work to upkeep it! As a business owner myself I applaud the way they conduct their business and never loose their family values, that caring, compassionate, family oriented value that most businesses start off with but loose over time. I can tell that money is not their passion. Their customers results are, the smiles and cries one has when they see their results. I was terrified of anesthesia, and when I expressed my concerns about my PTSD the surgeon, anesthesiologist and staff all took the time to sit with me and listen to me then proceed with a break down of how well they were going to take care of me and make sure I have the best experience possible. In which I certainly did! And best part I didn't wake up out of it, scared, panicking or anything like that. I was a little tired of course, but I went live for my fans soon as I got in the car. I felt comfortable the entire time I was waiting and when my nerves were really high I was honest and told them. They put in the extra love to make sure I was ok. When I went back and they gave me whatever magical cocktail, I felt as my procedure was 4 seconds. I didn't wake up during surgery, didn't hear anything nor wake up in pain! Everything they could have possibly done right they absolutely did! I felt safe too. And when I had questions after they were great about responding and following up. The cleanliness was great, and they took all precautions during this time of COVID-19. I knew the day I met Dr. Jacobson during my consultation that he had to be my surgeon! I hope this review helps viewers make that final decision on choosing Dr. Jacobson as their surgeon and if anyone has questions you are more then welcome to ask and I will answer to the best of my abilities? Thank you Dr. Jacobson and your staff?? my results are incredible! And I'm not even fully healed yet and I can't stop staring at my chest! It's a dream come true and it wouldn't have be possible without you and your staff. God bless!

  • Dr J is absolutely brilliant. His office and staff are out of this world and his demeanor is so friendly and up beat. He makes you feel like you are in the best possible hands... And you are! The Surgeon I met with before I saw Dr J told me I would need a general anesthetic for my surgery and likely a skin graft. I was terrified. Went to Dr J for a second opinion and he was totally nonchalant about what needed to be done. He did it a week later in his office with just some local freezing and it was amazing! No problems at all. I would never see another Dr for surgery. Dr J is truly above the rest! Even his peers give him awards. His office is full of them! Big hugs to him and his staff for turning this in a happy ending from a scary start.
