MEET Dr. Brett Beber, MD, FRCS
Choosing the right size for breast enlargement surgery is not easy. You have to think about a lot of things that will affect how you look and how happy you will be in the long run. We know that choosing the right size is one of the most important decisions people make when planning their surgery. At Beber Plastic Surgery, we make this decision carefully, considering each patient’s body type, lifestyle and cosmetic goals to suggest sizes that will give them beautiful, balanced results.
The first step in the size selection process is to take detailed measurements of the breast tissue, chest wall and skin quality. We look at how different implant sizes will work with the patient’s natural anatomy to make educated guesses about what will happen. This thorough evaluation helps figure out what size ranges will work best for each patient’s body type. Knowing these anatomical factors stops people from having unrealistic expectations and ensures they get what they want.
Patients can try on several volumes with physical sizing tools before making their final decision. We have many sizers that patients can use with different types of clothing to see how each size will look every day. This hands-on approach helps patients feel good about their decision and see how the results will fit into their life. This hands-on experience is more helpful for many patients than just looking at pictures or measurements.
Our recommendations are based on the principle of proportionality which helps us choose sizes that will give balanced, harmonious results that enhance natural beauty. When we advise size ranges, we look at the relationship between shoulder width, chest size, hip size and height. These proportional rules will give you results that look good and natural from every angle. Most of the time, following these rules will give you more satisfaction with the improvement results in the long run.
Lifestyle variables are a big part of determining what size is best for each patient based on their needs and wants. We talk about things like exercise levels, job requirements, dress preferences and future goals that may affect size choice. Patients who are active may want sizes that are more modest so they don’t get in the way of sports or exercise. Professional factors are also important as different jobs may affect what size range is best for the patient’s work environment.
The starting anatomy has a big impact on how much difference different implant sizes will make so it’s important to have realistic expectations about the end results. Patients who don’t have a lot of tissue to begin with may see big changes with smaller implants while patients who have more natural volume may need bigger implants to see the same changes. We educate patients on how their baseline affects what different sizes can do. This education ensures what people expect matches what will really happen.
Depending on the size of the implant chosen, recovery may be different. Larger implants may need longer adjustment periods and more discomfort at first. During consultations we talk about these changes so patients can prepare for their recovery journey. Patients can make informed decisions about how much temporary pain they can handle if they know how size affects recovery. Preparation makes recovery smoother.
Computer imaging technology helps patients see what may happen with different size options. However we always stress that actual results may not match what the computer shows. These tools can help you make decisions but you should also look at physical measurements and anatomical assessments. We use imaging as one part of the whole size selection process instead of just relying on it. When used with other ways to evaluate, imaging helps patients feel more confident about their decisions.
Patients who want to make big changes to their appearance after major life events need to know how to do Gender-affirming top surgery treatments that give natural-looking, proportionate chest shapes. We know each patient has different goals so we size with their needs and wants in mind. This individualized approach ensures the results match each patient’s idea of what their body should look like.
Toronto has many types of people and their cultural backgrounds and aesthetic tastes may affect their size choices. This multicultural environment has helped us learn more about different ideas of beauty and become experts at getting results that fit with a wide range of aesthetic aspirations. We are happy to serve a community that values natural-looking improvement and respect for each person’s aesthetic preferences.
Studies that look at long-term satisfaction show that patients who choose moderate sizes based on their anatomy and lifestyle are usually happier than those who chose sizes based on getting the most volume. We share this information with patients during consultations so they can make decisions they will be happy with for a long time.
