Dr. Shuster believes the most beautiful and natural results are achieved by selecting an implant that is proportional to a woman's body. When there is harmony between the size of the implant and the breasts it will look like as if it has always been there. Specifically, to achieve this, Dr. Shuster matches the diameter of the breast implant to the diameter of each woman’s breasts.

While much of the discussion regarding breast implant size will tend to focus on bra size or implant volume (cc’s) there are a couple of considerations which Dr. Shuster believes are more relevant. First, is the type of look a woman would prefer. Some women want a result that is subtle. These women may not want other to think they had an augmentation at all. Others may prefer more fullness while maintaining a natural result. These are women who do not mind if some people wonder if they had an augmentation but are not sure. A third group prefers even more fullness and do not mind at all if others can tell they had

surgery. Time spent between Dr. Shuster and his patients discussing these options helps guide his selection of which breast implant size will produce to best result.

Once Dr. Shuster has learned his patient’s preference there are 2 considerations to selecting the right match. The first is measuring a woman’s desired Base Width Diameter (BWD) and the second is projection. BWD is the distance from the inner edge of the breast to the side of the chest. This is a detailed measurement. Based on this number and his patient’s preferences, Dr. Shuster will select a narrow range of breast implant sizes that will produce the results his patient is looking to achieve.

During each breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Shuster will devote much time to this process. He has the full range of implant sizes and styles so his patients can actually feel the implants a see how well they match with their body.
