Posted on May 31, 2018 under Breast Implants

Breast augmentation is one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgery procedures among women today in the US. Ever since the FDA approved silicone breast implants, and previously saline implants, the popularity of this procedure has consistently risen year after year. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), 77% of all breast implant procedures today use silicone implants and the remaining 23% saline implants.

However, success in breast implant procedures also depends on choosing the right size of implants. Board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Franklin Richards and Dr. Dean Jabs provide state-of-the-art breast augmentation and other procedures through their practice, Cosmetic Surgery Associates.

The practice, having offices in McLean VA, and Bethesda MD, receives patients from Northern Virginia, Fairfax, Alexandria, VA, Chevy Chase, Rockville, MD, and nearby areas. The practice offers Mentor implants, among other options.

Breast Implant Sizing System

Patient satisfaction in an aesthetic procedure such as breast augmentation surgery can be achieved by a skilled surgeon when the right choice of implants and implant size is made. High-precision sizing techniques are necessary to determine the most appropriate breast implant size that matches the unique breast anatomy and personal aesthetic requirements of a patient. Cosmetic Surgery Associates provides the advanced Mentor Volume Sizing System for best results.

Mentor Sizing System includes 18 unique volume sizers (nine for each breast), which are designed to provide a highly accurate preview of the desired breast size. With the help of this sizing system, the breast surgeon can simulate 24 different volumes ranging from 150 ccs to 775 ccs. The process engages the patient and ensures her involvement in the final size choice.

Patient satisfaction rates will be typically higher when such an advanced sizing system is used. Over 80% of surgeons report successful results after using this system. Higher precision through this system also helps bring down the chances of revision surgery related to size issues.

Types of Sizers

MemoryGel Implant Sizer

This sizer can be used during the surgical procedure to determine the appropriate shape and size of the breast implants.
