SCOTTSDALE, AZ, April 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Once you have decided to undergo breast augmentation, you will find yourself inundated with many other important choices regarding your new implants. One of the most important decisions you will have to make will deal with the size of your breast implants.
Ultimately, this is a highly personal decision, and it is important that you - not your spouse, significant other, friends, or family members - feel comfortable with this decision. Approximately one third of all breast augmentation revision procedures are performed to address dissatisfaction in the breast implant size. Therefore, it is in your best interest to make the right decision up-front in order to avoid a needless revision procedure.
Bigger is not Always Better
When it comes to choosing your breast implant size, bigger is not always better. It is important to consider your body type when making this decision. If you have a very petite frame, then you might want to consider a more modestly sized implant. Very large breast implants can often seem out of proportion on petite women.
You will also want to consider how your new breast implants will impact your lifestyle. If you are very athletic and physically active, a large breast implant may hinder your athletic endeavors. You will also want to take into account how the additional implant weight will affect you. If you decide to go too big, you may end up saddled with back problems.
Ultimately, you will get the most natural looking results by choosing a breast implant size that complements your body type. Factors to consider are your:
- Frame
- Chest dimensions
- Natural breast size
- Skin elasticity
Listen to your Plastic Surgeon
Your plastic surgeon is one of your best resources when debating potential breast implant sizes. Most likely, your surgeon will have performed many breast augmentation procedures on women with similar body types to yours. He will have a wealth of experience regarding the appropriate size to give you the results you are looking for.
At your initial consultation, discuss your aesthetic goals with your plastic surgeon. It may be helpful to bring in some pictures of breasts that look similar to your desired result. This will help your plastic surgeon get a better feel for the look you desire.
It is important to understand that the breast implant size you choose will impact more than just the way your new breasts look. It will also impact several other factors in your procedure, such as:
- Breast augmentation incision location
- Breast implant placement
- Breast implant type
Your plastic surgeon will consider these factors when recommending the ideal size for your body type. Sometimes, your procedure may go more smoothly and you may achieve more natural looking results by choosing an implant size that accounts for these other factors. While the decision is ultimately yours to make, it is always wise to listen to the recommendations of your surgeon.

Breathalyzer Tests and Problem DUI Enforcement Strategies
2011-04-02
Breathalyzers have gained considerable scrutiny across the United States as more defendants challenge the accuracy of blood alcohol test results. Breathalyzer machines are used by scores of law enforcement agencies to measure the level of alcohol in a person's blood. If a driver's BAC is above .08, he or she could be arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI).
Specifically, defendants and advocacy groups have long questioned whether the machines were properly calibrated to accurately measure blood-alcohol content. Last ...
Calculations with 14 quantum bits
2011-04-02
This release is available in German.
The term entanglement was introduced by the Austrian Nobel laureate Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, and it describes a quantum mechanical phenomenon that while it can clearly be demonstrated experimentally, is not understood completely. Entangled particles cannot be defined as single particles with defined states but rather as a whole system. By entangling single quantum bits, a quantum computer will solve problems considerably faster than conventional computers. "It becomes even more difficult to understand entanglement when there are ...
New Jersey Rated 2nd in the Nation for Highway Safety Laws
2011-04-02
A report issued in January 2011, rated New Jersey the second safest in the nation, based on the laws designed to promote highway safety. Only the District of Columbia ranked in front of New Jersey.
Motor vehicle crashes impose a significant financial burden on society. According to the NHTSA, the total economic cost of motor vehicle crashes in 2000 was more than $230 billion.
The Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety issued its eighth annual roadmap to state highway safety laws. The report ranks the states on fifteen criteria that promote highway safety:

UGA studies explain spread of invasive ladybugs
2011-04-02
Athens, Ga. – A University of Georgia researcher studying invasive ladybugs has developed new models that help explain how these insects have spread so quickly and their potential impacts on native species.
In recent years, some people have noticed swarms of ladybugs amassing in the fall, even infesting their homes. These are Asian lady beetles, insects native to eastern Asia, introduced to the U.S. as a biocontrol for aphids and have since spread throughout the country and into Canada. When he found the beetles in his own home, Assistant Research Scientist Richard Hall, ...

Proposed Legislation Would Require Alcohol Monitors for DWI Probation
2011-04-02
Senate Bill 232 -- introduced in November by state senator Jane Nelson and currently being debated by the Criminal Justice Committee of the Texas State Senate -- recommends that every person put on probation following a conviction of driving while intoxicated (DWI) wear an alcohol-sensing monitor.
The most common of these monitors is known as a secure continuous remote alcohol monitor (SCRAM). SCRAM bracelets -- manufactured by Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc. -- have gained notoriety due to high-profile DWI cases involving Hollywood celebrities. They are the most common ...
Skywalker ensures optimal communication between neurons
2011-04-02
"I hope that unraveling the way Skywalker works will not only teach us more about the way neurons communicate with each other but will also lead to new diagnostics and therapies for neurological diseases such as Parkinson's," says Verstreken.
Communication between brain cells
Brain disorders take a major toll on society. More than 8% of the population in the West depends on analgesics. Twenty per cent suffers from a mental disturbance and the number of people suffering from the effects of neurological diseases is estimated at 1 billion. Many of these problems are caused ...
When food is scarce, hungry female spiders alter mating preferences
2011-04-02
New research from the University of Cincinnati provides food for thought.
The research examined how short-term and long-term hunger affected mate selection and aggression in female wolf spiders (Schizocosa ocreata) commonly found in the eastern United States and Canada. These female spiders are potentially aggressive and cannibalistic when approached by a courting male.
The research is published in the April 2011 print issue of the journal, "Animal Behavior." It was carried out by George Uetz, UC professor of biology, and former UC doctoral student Brian Moskalik, ...
EOBR Rule Aims to Keep Truckers Honest
2011-04-02
More than half of the commercial vehicle drivers who responded to United Safety Alliance, Inc.'s online survey admitted to deliberately violating federal Hours of Service (HOS) regulations. Those regulations aim to keep highways safe by limiting driving time so commercial vehicle drivers get enough rest.
Currently, HOS compliance is monitored through paper logs and supporting documentation such as toll receipts. However, paper logs allow for falsification. For that reason, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is looking to shift to an automated means ...
Short rotation energy crops could help meet UK's renewable energy targets
2011-04-02
Planting short rotation energy crops on England's unused agricultural land could produce enough biomass to meet renewable energy targets without disrupting the food industry or the environment, according to research led by Professor Gail Taylor from the University of Southampton.
The study, funded by the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC), is a rare investigation into energy crop supply which looks at the potential of planting short rotation coppice (poplar and willow) in England, taking into account social, economic and environmental constraints. It found that with efficient ...
