00:00:00.580 --> 00:00:02.460
<v ->A lot of patients ask me,</v>

2
00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:05.980
how do you make a determination about breast implant size?

3
00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:08.210
And it's probably one of the most important questions

4
00:00:08.210 --> 00:00:10.880
that has to do with breast augmentations.

5
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:12.720
And from my standpoint, I think that the key

6
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.360
is that the patient has to have an idea

7
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:15.920
of what they really want.

8
00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:18.634
The first step that we do is that we use sizers.

9
00:00:18.634 --> 00:00:20.210
And what the hell is a sizer?

10
00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:22.000
Well, this is a sizer.

11
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.140
What this is is this is a device

12
00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:28.210
that has about a volume of approximately 375 CCs.

13
00:00:29.398 --> 00:00:34.398
Interestingly, this is an implant that has 360.

14
00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:36.220
They're not the same,

15
00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:39.870
but the issue is how will you look with this inside of you,

16
00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:43.820
actually pretty to how this looks inside of clothing.

17
00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:46.530
So what we do is that we use this, this gives you an idea

18
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:48.310
of what kind of volume you really want

19
00:00:48.310 --> 00:00:49.550
and what works for you.

20
00:00:49.550 --> 00:00:51.060
And you can see yourself in the mirror,

21
00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:52.880
you can try different sizes on.

22
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:53.713
It doesn't hurt.

23
00:00:53.713 --> 00:00:54.546
It's easy.

24
00:00:54.546 --> 00:00:55.500
You can play around with it.

25
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:58.860
See what's too big, what's too small or what's just right.

26
00:00:58.860 --> 00:01:00.420
But then I take it one step further

27
00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:02.450
and it's a device that's sitting behind me.

28
00:01:02.450 --> 00:01:05.700
I use the Vectra three-dimensional photographic system.

29
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.100
It takes a three dimensional image of you,

30
00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:10.410
and it allows me to take that image

31
00:01:10.410 --> 00:01:12.840
and put the implants inside of you.

32
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.100
And you can see what we're talking about.

33
00:01:15.100 --> 00:01:17.460
Simply putting these things into a bra

34
00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:20.010
and imagining this is gonna be what's gonna give you

35
00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:23.590
that look is somewhat naive because it doesn't,

36
00:01:23.590 --> 00:01:26.020
this is the implant itself,

37
00:01:26.020 --> 00:01:27.750
but it's not a representation

38
00:01:27.750 --> 00:01:30.510
of what you are going to look like.

39
00:01:30.510 --> 00:01:32.367
And I think that the key is do your homework,

40
00:01:32.367 --> 00:01:33.470
take your time.

41
00:01:33.470 --> 00:01:35.280
And when you're ready, give us a call

42
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.375
because I think that we can make your process

43
00:01:37.375 --> 00:01:39.400
pretty straightforward.

44
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:40.233
Thanks a lot.
