Choosing your breast implant size is the most important decision you’ll make on your breast augmentation journey. While selecting a size based solely on aesthetics or a celebrity’s look may be tempting, achieving the most satisfying and natural-looking results comes down to balance, proportion, and personal lifestyle. Here’s how to make the right choice for your body.
Dr. Trenton C. Jones, voted one of Utah’s top plastic surgeons, brings over 25 years of experience helping patients choose the perfect breast implant size for their body and lifestyle. Known for his innovative Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation, Dr. Jones combines precision, the latest techniques, and a passion for perfection to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Start with Your Body Frame
Your body’s unique shape and proportions are critical in selecting the appropriate implant size. Factors such as shoulder width, chest diameter, rib cage shape, and natural breast tissue affect how implants will look on your frame. For example, someone with a petite build may appear overly augmented with implants that look natural on a taller person.
Understand Implant Measurements
Breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc), not bra cup sizes. Typically, every 150–200cc equals an increase of about one cup size, but this varies between individuals and implant profiles. High-profile implants add more projection with a narrower base, while moderate or low profiles offer a wider, more subtle shape. Dr. Jones can show you how different sizes and profiles will look on your frame.
Think About Your Lifestyle
If you’re active in sports, have young children, or prefer low-maintenance fashion choices, overly large implants may interfere with your day-to-day comfort. Balancing your cosmetic goals with your long-term lifestyle and activity level is important.
Use 3D Imaging or Sizers
With 3D imaging or try-on sizers, you visualize how different implant sizes will look on your body. These tools provide a more accurate preview than relying on bra sizes or photos alone.
