Breast implant is a prosthesis used in breast augmentation to increase breast size and volume of breasts and give them a fuller appearance. However, determining the ideal implant size to achieve the desired breast size can be a perplexing task.

There are certain things to understand about breast implants size to achieve natural-looking results with breast augmentation.

Understanding Breast Implants Size and Types: Finding Your Ideal Fit

Let’s address the differences between breast implants size (measured in cc) and cup size, along with exploring the various types of breast implants. We’re here to help you find the ideal implant fit for your needs and desired results.

1. Bigger isn’t always better

Breast implants size matters! Keep in mind that choosing a larger implant can have drawbacks, such as restrictions in daily activities and the potential for sagging breasts and discomfort. It may even require a future breast lift to address these issues.

2. Your implant and breast size aren’t the same

Understanding the distinction: Breast implants size (measured in cc) is not the same as cup size. Discover more about different types of breast implants to make informed decisions for your augmentation journey.

3. How does implant size affect your cup size?

 The choice of breast implants size will influence your cup size, but the relationship between the two is not a direct correlation. Factors such as your existing breast tissue and body proportions will also impact the final outcome.

4. How to choose your ideal breast implant for natural-looking breasts?

Before understanding the selection of breast implants size, it’s important to learn a few more things about implants.

a). Different sizes of breast implants: volume, diameter, and profile

  • Breast implants size vary to suit different body types and preferences. The size is determined by volume (cc), diameter, and profile.
  • Volume: Implants range from 150-200cc for smaller sizes, 300-350cc for popular sizes, and over 400cc for larger sizes.
  • Diameter: The base width of the implant affects breast shape and varies from 7.4cm to 17.2cm.
  • Profile: Implant projection from the chest wall differs. Low/moderate profiles offer minimal projection, moderate profiles provide a natural look, and high profiles offer maximum projection.

Understanding these measurements is crucial when selecting the right implant fit for your needs and consulting with a plastic surgeon is recommended.

b). Importance of implant profiles in breast’s appearance.

Implant profile plays a significant role in achieving the desired breast appearance:

  • Low Profile Implants: These implants have a flatter appearance with minimal projection. They are ideal for wider chests, as they slightly push the central part of the breast outward, creating a softer and flatter look.
  • Moderate Profile Implants: These implants provide a natural-looking projection and are suitable for smaller or narrower chests. They offer a balanced enhancement that complements the body proportions.
  • High Profile Implants: These implants offer maximum projection, resulting in very round and prominent breasts. They are ideal for narrow chests, as they push the central and lower parts of the breast the most, creating a more pointed and rounded shape.

c). The principle of projection also applies to different implant diameters. As the volume of the implant increases, so does the level of projection. It’s important to consider both the implant profile and diameter to achieve the desired breast shape and overall aesthetic outcome.
