How to Choose the Right Breast Implant Size for Your Body Type

Breast augmentation is a life-changing decision that requires careful consideration. Choosing the right implant size is one of the most crucial aspects of this journey. At Tara Healthcare, Bangalore’s leading plastic surgery hospital, we ensure that every patient receives personalized guidance to select the best breast implant size that complements their body proportions, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Led by Dr. Karan Shetty, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 10 years of experience, our team provides expert care tailored to your unique needs. 

In this blog, we’ll explore how to choose the right breast implant size for your body type, ensuring natural, proportionate, and beautiful results. 

Understanding Breast Implant Sizing 

Breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc) rather than traditional bra cup sizes. The implant size you choose will determine the volume and projection of your breasts. Here are some key factors to consider: 

Volume (CCs) – Implants typically range from 150cc to 800cc. A small increase (150-250cc) gives subtle enhancement, while a larger implant (400cc+) creates more dramatic changes. 

 ✅ Projection (Profile) – Implants come in low, moderate, and high profiles, which determine how far they project from the chest. 

 ✅ Base Width – The implant should match your chest width to ensure a balanced look. 

At Tara Healthcare, we use FDI-approved breast implants to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality. We work with top implant brands, including Sebbin, to offer the best options for our patients. 

Additionally, during your consultation, we utilize the 3D consultation tool, Crisalix, which allows you to visualize your potential results before surgery. This advanced technology helps set realistic expectations and ensures you make an informed decision about your breast augmentation journey. 

Factors That Influence the Right Implant Size for You 

1️⃣ Your Body Frame & Chest Width 

  • Petite women with narrow chests may need smaller, high-profile implants for proportion. 
  • Women with broader chests can opt for wider base implants for a more balanced look. 

2️⃣ Your Natural Breast Tissue 

  • If you have little breast tissue, overly large implants may look unnatural. 
  • If you have more tissue, you can choose a wider range of sizes. 

3️⃣ Your Lifestyle & Activity Level 

  • If you’re athletic, a moderate-sized implant may be better to avoid interference with workouts. 
  • If you prefer a more dramatic transformation, a higher-volume implant may be suitable. 

4️⃣ Desired Look: Natural vs. Voluminous 

  • A moderate or high-profile implant creates a fuller cleavage. 
  • A teardrop (anatomical) implant provides a more natural slope. 

5️⃣ Long-Term Considerations 

  • Bigger implants may cause more strain on skin and tissues over time. 
  • Revision surgeries may be needed in the future, depending on implant wear and lifestyle changes. 

Silicone vs. Saline: Choosing the Right Type 

🔹 Silicone Implants: Offer a natural feel, preferred by most patients. 

 🔹 Saline Implants: Can be adjusted in volume and require a smaller incision. 

 🔹 Round vs. Teardrop: Round implants provide more fullness, while teardrop implants mimic a natural breast slope.
