you will find here some information that may help you :

What is the most common breast implant size ?

The most common breast implant sizes are generally between 350 and 500 CC.

This does not necessarily mean that you must opt for an implant in that size. It is important to make an appointment with a plastic surgeon who will advise you according to your case (morphology, skin type, general health…).

How do I know what size breast implant is right for me ?

The best way to know what size breast implant is right for you is to consider your natural body proportions and seek the advice of a plastic surgeon. Although there is no specific formula for calculating implant size, choosing the right implant size based on your height and weight can help.

Tips for choosing the right implant size for your body

Think about your body

Understanding your body shape, size and proportions is essential to choosing your breast implant size. There are many options when it comes to breast implants, and not everyone is able to handle larger implants.

While your measurements will help determine the best type of implants, the main area of focus is your chest. The shape of the chest wall differs from one person to another which will help you determine the width of the breast implant that will work best for you. If you want to get large implants, the other proportions of your body will help you know if you will be able to handle them. The larger the breast implant is, the more support it will need from the rest of your body.

Lifestyle

Beyond your body and the physical factors you need to consider, there are also external factors such as the lifestyle you lead and if it is compatible with breast implant surgery.

Think about the activities you enjoy doing. You may want to have breast implants for cosmetic reasons, but they could actually be uncomfortable if you lead a very active lifestyle. Those who enjoy strenuous exercise or who run regularly should avoid very large implants.

Be aware of your current breast size

Your current breast size is the reason you are considering breast augmentation. If you are not satisfied with your current size, simply consult your plastic surgeon to determine the breast implant size adapted for you.

Alternatively, if your breasts are sagging, a consultation with your cosmetic surgeon may offer you alternative options such as breast lift. You should also consider how much natural breast tissue you have. If you don’t have enough, large implants will not be a good option, as there is a risk of implant protrusion.

Aesthetics

If you are looking to achieve a more natural appearance, you will probably opt for small implants. On the other hand, if you want to have a larger breast or a more pronounced look, you will need larger implants. It all depends on your personal desires.

It is important to note that the choice of the breast implants’ size will be made with your plastic surgeon and this according to your morphology and after a complete evaluation of your state of health.
