If you’re interested in receiving breast implants, there are many breast implant sizes you can choose from. The breast implant sizes and shapes can accommodate different bodies and achieve different looks. It’s important to consult with your board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best breast augmentation implant size before your plastic surgery.
Breast implants sizes are measured in cubic centimeters (ccs). Each breast implant needs to fit the width of the woman’s chest and breast size. For each width, there is a specific recommended breast implant fill volumes for saline implants. Silicone breast implants are prefilled.
For instance, a ‘300cc’ saline breast implant will likely have a fill range of 300cc to 330cc or up to 350cc depending on the manufacturer and style of the implant. It is recommended that the implant not be too large for the woman’s chest. This will likely make it visible through the skin and may cause an array of problems.
Different Shapes of Breast Implants
The profile or projection of the implant should also be considered. This refers to how flat or raised the implant will be.
Low profile implants have a flatter shape and are not often used. Medium or moderate profile implants are commonly used. High profile or large implants use more saline to fill them, producing a narrower implant volume that is not typically considered a natural shape or desirable. It really depends on the person’s anatomy and preferences.
Choose the Correct Breast Implant.
While every woman is unique, adding between 175 and 200 ccs will generally increase one’s breast about one bra cup size. This may not hold true for all body shapes or body types, however, so it’s important to speak with your plastic surgeon to determine which implant size will help you achieve your goals.
