Getting the Look You Want: Breast Augmentation Consultation

If you are just beginning to learn more about breast augmentation, it can be difficult to communicate the results you are hoping for. With so many options, describing the look you want from breast augmentation results can quickly become overwhelming. Dr. Cruise has simplified this process with the Look You Want, a system of determining exactly what each patient’s unique goals are to ensure you can achieve your desired results.

Dr. Cruise’s Breast Augmentation Consultation Process

Like most breast augmentation consultations, Dr. Cruise will discuss considerations like your health and goals for your procedure to see if this is the right surgery for you. However, Dr. Cruise also uses software to create an image of the “Look You Want.” This interactive program allows you to select fine details of your goal results, taking into consideration not just the size of your implants but the cleavage, position, shape, and other factors.

Before your consultation, you can also follow Dr. Cruise’s “The Look I Want” interactive diagram to select the images that best meet your preferred look with details such as the nipple position and fullness of the breasts. This information is then sent to Dr. Cruise to review during your consultation, ensuring that you are on the same page regarding your goal results.

By understanding clearly the “Look You Want,” Dr. Cruise can then create a personalized surgical plan for your breast augmentation, making recommendations regarding implant type, incision pattern, implant placement, and other factors.

What Are My Breast Implant Options?

After reviewing the “Look You Want” and taking necessary measurements of your breasts and chest wall, Dr. Cruise will then make recommendations regarding the best implant type option for you. Your implant options include saline and silicone implants in varying shapes and sizes. Saline implants tend to be firmer and less natural feeling, with results that typically appear more dramatic. Silicone implants typically have a more natural look and feel, but often require more noticeable incision patterns to place. Saline implants can be filled after placing them in the breasts, in some cases through a peri-areolar or belly button incision, which also means that their size can be adjusted slightly during the surgery.

Generally speaking, most patients prefer silicone implants for their natural look, which is also particularly beneficial for patients with less natural breast tissue. Dr. Cruise also typically recommends placing implants below the muscle, but subglandular or partial muscle coverage options are also possible.

What Choices Do I Have for Breast Augmentation Results?

Through Dr. Cruise’s “The Look I Want” interactive diagram, you will choose from the following options:

• Overall size (slight, conservative, moderate, fuller, or dramatic increase)
• Cleavage (neutral, close, or very close)
• Upper and lower breast fullness (soft, moderate, or round shape)
• Nipple position (lower, medial, or high)

In addition, you will select from a gallery of model photos to indicate the results that you prefer.
