It seems like the same big three questions pop up whenever a woman decides to embark on the breast implant journey - well, initially at least.
SIZE - How will I know what size breast implants to get?
RECOVERY - Is it gonna hurt? How much pain will I really be in?
COST - How much is this going to cost me?
SIZE
One of the most troubling thoughts in the early stages of a patient's research is how do I tell the surgeon what I want? What do I want my new breasts to look like? What new size can I have? Do I want fake or natural? How do you know???
Cup size is a mythical fashion abyss that can never be clinically, objectively identified and will totally lead patients into the bad lands of full C's vs small D's with no clear understanding in sight!
3D technology is great in the movies but terribly misleading for potential patients as you can do ANYTHING with a computer image these days, but can the surgeon really do that with your tissue, your body? 3DÂ imaging produces the highest level of false hope and misguided expectations.
Stuffing sizers, rice bags and socks into bras - these methods of planning an operation on a human body are in humane!! You can stuff anything into a bra and make the fabric conform - - human tissue is not as compliant or forgiving, I am afraid.
All of these common methods of trying to determine the size of breast implants you can get or you may want leave out the most important parameter - your BODY and what it will allow you to have.
Dr. Tebbetts developed and published The High Five System - a clinical  measurement system that will give the surgeon the area of the empty space in the breast - - it is a system that predictably gives the surgeon the correct amount of fill for each patient's breast - - the correct amount of fill yields the prettiest breast - every time.
The best thing about The High Five System and letting it plan the operation and the size for you is that it takes the worry, the doubt, the speculation and the trauma out of this part of the process of breast augmentation! Your body is self limiting - if your body makes the decision - it will never be the wrong size.
I think the hardest part about giving into this system is that for so long patients - your friends - and surgeons, have made it seem like you can just order up whatever breast you want (you can put any implant in any breast - but NOT without significant negative risks and tradeoffs!!) which in a safe, increase the longevity of your result and I want to look natural world, simply is not true. Let your body decide the size using The High Five System and it will always be right for you and your body and your result!
