Breast Implant Cup Size Guide
One of the most important decisions you have to make about your breast augmentation is what size of breast implants you desire. The size of breast implants will determine the results you get from your procedure. The size of your breast implants is also crucial for getting long-lasting results with a low risk of complications, and Dr. John A. Kotis always strives to balance getting the best results with ensuring your procedure is safe and complication-free.
The most important factor in determining what size breast implants are right for you depends on the measurements of your chest and breasts and an assessment of your breast tissue. This page gives some general information, but to get personalized recommendations, please email or call us at 1(847) 577-6400 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kotis today.
Breast Implant Size General Considerations
Breast implant sizes are measured in cubic centimeters (cc’s), and one study found that on average 189 cc translates to about one cup size increase. However, the size of implant necessary to transform your breasts varies depending on the size of your breasts in three dimensions. It’s also important to remember that breast cup sizes are not standardized. There is not even one standard method for measuring your breasts to calculate cup size. We use cup size as a rough guide, but for making decisions, Dr. Kotis always relies on the measurements of your breasts and other factors.
Making Your Breast Implant Size Decision
The factors that go into making your breast implant size decision are:
- Breast tissue type (thin, fatty, tuberous, fibrous)
- Breast measurements (distance from the fold below the breast to the nipple, the base width of the breast, and others)
- Current cup size
- Your cosmetic goals compared to current and past breast size
One of the reasons why Dr. Kotis has been successful in getting great breast augmentation results without a single complaint of capsular contracture in 13 years of surgery is his strict adherence to a policy of only using breast implants that are the right size for his patients’ bodies. To determine the right size of breast implants, there are two main factors, the type of breast tissue and the current measurements of the breast. “The measurements tell you everything,” says Dr. Kotis, and he performs exacting measurements to determine the appropriate range of breast implant sizes for every patient.
In selecting the best implants for getting the breasts you want, he also listens to your aesthetic goals and compares them to the history of your breast size, such as what it might have been during pregnancy or periods of weight gain, if applicable. He then compares them to your current breast size and decides on the right breast implants to transform your breasts into the ones you desire.
