What Size Breast Implants Should I Choose?

Breast Implant Profiles

Low-Profile Breast Implants

Low-profile breast implants are ideal for women who want to increase their breast volume and already have naturally larger breasts. Using low-profile implants allows for a good result after breast augmentation, thanks to a moderate increase in volume.

Similarly, for women wishing to undergo a breast lift, the use of low-profile breast implants is recommended, which will increase the volume of their breasts and give them a generally more compact appearance.

Low-profile breast implants are not recommended if the patient wishes to achieve a significant increase in breast volume through breast augmentation. They are also not recommended in cases where the breasts are excessively saggy.

Medium-Profile Breast Implants

With medium-profile breast implants, the implants have an average projection and are suitable for those who want a very natural effect. If you have decided to undergo breast augmentation, but still want to maintain a natural effect, remember to consider the characteristics of the breast implants you wish to have placed. The important thing is to obtain a natural result, as recommended by the plastic surgeon you choose to consult. An essential factor is to choose an experienced doctor, a cosmetic surgeon who can guarantee professional work.

High-Profile Breast Implants

The use of high-profile breast implants is recommended for women with small breasts because, when placed, they overlap little or no granular tissue. High-profile breast implants allow for a significant increase in breast size while maintaining a natural appearance. In cases where the patient has naturally large breasts and desires a very voluminous result, using high-profile implants could also be the best option.

Even women whose breasts exhibit a significant degree of ptosis will find the appropriate remedy thanks to the use of high-profile breast implants, because with this profile, it is possible to obtain the tension the mammary area needs to have an attractive appearance.

Very High-Profile Breast Implants

With very high-profile breast implants, considerable projection can be obtained during cosmetic breast surgery; this is useful when breasts are very small or if you desire a very voluminous effect.

Breast Implant Volume

A considerable percentage of women who have undergone breast augmentation wish to further increase the volume of their breasts, and many undergo a second, or even a third operation.

Many factors prevent a large increase in breast volume in a single operation, including insufficient skin and excessive tension on the pectoral muscle, especially when aiming for a large breast volume from a small gland and small amount of tissue.

Today, cosmetic surgeons have additional measurements to help them define the most suitable implant for their patients: implant catalogs generally give measurements for base width, base height, and projection.

If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, a first way to get an idea of the size you want is to fill water or rice bags, which you insert into a sports bra. Fill or empty the bags until you find the right size for your body (and your wardrobe!). Then empty the contents into a glass and measure the volume. This will give you an idea to use as a starting point before seeing the cosmetic surgeon during the pre-operative consultation.

What Breast Implant Volume to Choose to Determine a Bra Cup Increase?

The most frequent question when discussing breast augmentation in cosmetic surgery is which bra size or cup size corresponds to a certain breast implant size. Regardless of the unit of measurement used to define the size of a breast implant, it is not possible to establish a direct equivalence between the volume or weight of the implants and the achievable bra cup. Many cosmetic surgeons tend to say, very generally, that an additional bra cup requires approximately 150 cc of volume. This is an approximation that could have been considered valid many years ago, when silicone gel breast implants were not available in today's range of shapes and projections, and which certainly cannot be considered adequate for particularly large bra sizes. The cup size mainly depends on the projection of the nipples, so high-profile implants tend, for the same size, to produce larger bra sizes. An experienced cosmetic surgeon should be able to give you a rough idea of the bra size you will obtain after breast augmentation, but this indication should never be taken literally.

We would like to remind you that operations involving the placement of breast implants can be cosmetic (therefore for a personal desire and to improve one's self-image) or as part of reconstructive surgery (placement of breast implants after a mastectomy). Only operations as part of reconstructive surgery can be covered by social security.
