Breast augmentation sizes are a very personal and important choice when you are considering breast augmentation.  Since over one-third of all breast augmentation revision procedures are to change breast augmentation size alone, it is clear that the breast augmentation size decision is not an easy one.  In fact, two recent studies have determined that the leading cause for breast augmentation re-operations is not for rupture or capsulure contracture, but rather for changing the breast augmentation size.

 
In most cases, women report that they are happy with their breast augmentation procedure.  Nearly half of these breast augmentation patients report they wish they had chosen a different breast agumentation size, most of which wish they had chosen a larger breast implant size.

Why do women often regret their breast augmentation size choice?  While there are no readily available studies on the matter, there are theories as to why women tend to choose a breast augmentation size that is not right for them.
 
One theory suggests that women often choose a breast augmentation size that will minimize the impact of their altered appearance.  In other words, women often choose a breast augmentation size that is smaller than they actually want because they feel self-conscious about the social impacts of their procedure.
 
For other women such as Real Housewives star, Tamra Barney, the choice for a larger breast augmentation size attracted attention that she did not want.  As a result she was one of the patients who decided to undergo a re-operation for a different breast augmentation size.
 
Considering the costs and attendant risks of surgery, what can you do to ensure you are picking the right breast augmenation size?
 
Previous methods have included looking at breast augmentation size before and after photos on the internet, or computer software images of a model with various breast augmentation sizes, but have resulted in a high re-operation rate.
 
One new answer to the problem is The Purlz Breast Sizing System, which helps women make a three-dimensional decision.  The system is designed to be lightweight, comfortable, and fun to wear.  It is the first system of its kind which looks natural, even in form-fitting clothing.
 
The premise of The Purlz Breast Sizing System is simple:  by wearing various breast augmentation sizes over a period of time, you will be able to experience your feelings about each size resulting in an informed decision.
 
The company who designed they system, L.W. Gatz, asserts that the breast augmentation size decision goes beyond simple appearance.  Stuffing a bra and standing in front of a mirror simply does not give you enough information to make a sound decision.  By wearing various breast augmentation sizes over a period of time in normal daily activities you are more likely to decide on a breast augmentation size that is right for you.
