How Do You Choose the Right Size Breast Implant for Your Body?​​​​​​​

Choosing the right breast implant size is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning your breast augmentation. The goal is to create a look that complements your natural proportions, reflects your aesthetic goals, and feels comfortable for your lifestyle. While it might be tempting to focus on cup size alone, a thoughtful approach guided by your surgeon ensures results that are both beautiful and balanced.
 

Your Body Frame and Anatomy

Your height, weight, shoulder width, chest width, and natural breast tissue all affect which implant sizes will look most natural on you. For example, a 350cc implant may look subtle on a taller, broad-shouldered person but more prominent on someone petite with a narrow chest.
 

Desired Look and Lifestyle

Some patients want a subtle enhancement, while others prefer a more dramatic transformation. Your everyday activities also play a role. If you’re highly active in sports or fitness, a slightly smaller implant may feel more comfortable long-term.
 

Implant Profile and Shape

It’s not just about the volume. The profile (how far the implant projects from the chest) and the shape (round or anatomical) will influence the final appearance. Your surgeon will help you visualize how these factors affect proportion and cleavage.
 

Skin and Tissue Characteristics

The elasticity of your skin and the amount of breast tissue you already have determine how well your body can accommodate certain implant sizes without overstretching the skin or causing rippling.
 

What to Expect During Your Breast Augmentation Consultation

A breast augmentation consultation with Dr. Potter is a collaborative process designed to help you make an informed choice:

  • In-Depth Discussion of Goals - You’ll talk about your aesthetic preferences, from subtle volume to a fuller, more prominent look.

  • Physical Measurements and Assessment - Dr. Potter will take precise measurements of your chest wall, breast base width, and tissue quality.

  • Implant Sizer Trial - You’ll have the opportunity to try on different implant sizers in a specialized bra, allowing you to see how different sizes may look on your body.

  • Review of Implant Options -You’ll discuss saline vs. silicone, implant profiles, and placement options (above or below the muscle).

  • Customized Recommendations - Based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and desired outcome, Dr. Potter will recommend a size range that balances your vision with a natural, proportionate appearance.
