Bra cup sizes vary by manufacturer. This makes cup size a poor way to determine the proper size of your breast implants. During your breast augmentation consultation with Fairfax plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Desman, many factors will be considered to ensure ideal proportions. Cup size will not be among them.
 
Enhancing Your Unique Body
 
In choosing the right size implant, Dr. Desman will need to look at factors such as:
 

• The size and shape of your chest
• Your breasts in proportion to your natural curves
• Your breast anatomy and position

 
He will also take into serious consideration your final aesthetic desires. You can help Dr. Desman better understand what you hope to achieve by bringing in pictures of breasts you find attractive. Please also go through our before and after gallery for an idea of what can be achieved with breast augmentation.
 
Each woman has a different idea about what constitutes ideal beauty. For Dr. Desman to provide you with the results you most desire, your preferences will need to be clearly expressed. Our goal is to help you look and feel your absolute best. During your initial consultation, Dr. Desman will assess your frame, listen to your desires, and recommend the breast implant size most suited to meet your particular needs.

Will breast augmentation impact athletic performance? Do breast implants interfere with physical exertion? Can the placement of breast implants change the way in which you exercise? The answer to all of these questions is that it usually depends on several factors. It depends on your level of physical activity, it depends on your natural anatomy, and it depends on the breast augmentation options you and Fairfax breast surgeon Dr. Eric Desman decide on.
 
Breast Implants and Exercise
 
Breast implants will change more than just the size and shape of your breasts. They may impact things such as reach, range of motion, and speed. This is largely dependent on the size and placement of your breast implants.
 
Larger breast implants will impact your physical abilities the most, but equally limiting can be the placement of your implants. For example, if you have implants placed below your chest muscles, exercises such as weight lifting may cause implant rupture.
 
The goal of breast implants is to enhance your profile, not interfere with your life. It is important to discuss your exercise preferences with Dr. Desman prior to augmentation, allowing him to customize your procedure and ensure you can continue to exercise in whatever ways you like.
 
Dr. Desman is a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience. Listening carefully to your lifestyle choices and paying close attention to your natural anatomy, he can tailor your breast augmentation to help guard against potential complications and help you maintain your preferred lifestyle.

There are so many plastic surgeons in the Washington, DC area that finding the best one for your facelift can seem a bit daunting. However, when you know what to look for, choosing a Washington, DC facelift surgeon can be fast and easy.
 
Board Certification
Make sure you choose a facelift surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS.)

Experience and Results
A facelift is just as much art as it is science. Choose a plastic surgeon with sufficient experience to provide you with the most beautiful results. Experience alone may not be the best indication of abilities. Look also at your potential plastic surgeon’s facelift before and after gallery and seek out patient testimonials to get a better idea of what you can expect.

Make sure your plastic surgeon listens to your desires, provides a thorough evaluation of your facial features, and offers you a facelift option tailored to meet your exact needs.
