This study presents a straightforward method for selecting breast augmentation prosthesis size. It utilizes prepacked 25-ml sachets to match a patient's desired bra cup size for accurate implant sizing.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Determining optimal breast prosthesis size in augmentation mammaplasty can be challenging.
  • Accurate sizing is crucial for aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple and effective method for prosthesis size determination in augmentation mammaplasty.
  • To provide a practical approach for matching implant volume to patient aesthetic preferences.

Main Methods:

  • The described method involves using prepacked 25-ml sachets.
  • These sachets are inserted into a patient-selected brassiere to simulate the desired cup size.
  • The number of sachets required indicates the appropriate prosthesis volume.
