Increasing your bust size may be something you\'ve always wanted to do, but actually going through with it is a different story. Making a major change to your body like breast implants can be intimidating and scary. Even if you know that it\'s what you want, you may still need some help and support in committing.

Here are some good steps to take that should make you feel confident and excited about your final decision:

1. Research the actual procedure. This is major surgery and the decision to get breast implants should not be made on a whim. It is important to learn about the procedure so that you know what to expect.

2. Experiment with sizes in the privacy of your home. Fill plastic bags with rice and add or take out to get an idea of what you look like with different sizes. How do your clothes look? What makes you feel the most comfortable?

3. Involve your significant other, if you have one, in the process. The final decision is all yours, but this person knows you well and will have an opinion. Take it under advisement when you decide. Don\'t do it just for him though. This is your body and you should only go under the knife if it is what you want.

4. Invite the girls over for a fashion of sorts. This can be a lot of fun. Gather your closest girlfriends, some food and drink and then model different sizes. You know your girls will tell you the truth!

5. Find women who have breast implants. You might be surprised how many you know that are sporting silicone or saline. Respect their privacy, but if they don\'t mind talking about it, ask what their experience was and has been like. Is there something they would have done differently? If they are happy with their results, find out what surgeon they used.

6. Consult with a plastic surgeon. While you are consulting with the surgeon, you will go over sizes and what will work for your body type. Take your rice bags with you to show him what kind of results you were hoping for and he will advise you on what makes sense for your body.

If you have any lingering doubts or questions about the procedure, make sure to ask during the consultation. At this point, you are ready to commit one way or the other. During your consultation with the surgeon, you are in the final phase of the decision process, but you are also interviewing him for the job. Don\'t just ask questions about the procedure, but ask about him as well.

On his office wall there should be a certificate from the American Board of Plastic Surgery that shows he is board certified. If not, ask him or research it on the Internet. Ask about his experience with breast implants and other augmentation procedures. Look at his portfolio and ask for references.

You have made your decision about the surgery, now you have to decide if you are comfortable with this surgeon performing the procedure. If you are thoughtful in the process, you can be confident you are making the right decision. The only thing you have to do now is to get ready for the new you that will emerge after the procedure.
