Most Common Breast Implant Size
Jan 24, 2025 | Dr. Edouard Coeugniet
Choosing the right breast implant to get your preferred breast size can sometimes be very confusing.
When understanding the breast implant size for you, you need to select the shape, volume, and implant profile that suits your unique body. Breast augmentation professionals work in what is known as cubic centiliters (cc), and as bra manufacturers only deal in cup sizes, it's important to know the right breast implant size for you based on your bra size.
What Are the Different Sizes of Breast Implants?
How Are Breast Implants Measured?
Many people assume that breast implants are measured by bra cup size. This is a common misconception. Breast implants are instead measured using the term CCs, which refers to the volume of the implant measured in cubic centimeters. The higher the CC count, the larger the breast implant.
- Typically, the most common breast implant size ranges between 300cc and 500cc.
- 400cc tends to be the single most common implant.
- 300cc to 360cc size implants are typically enough to give women a fuller shape without significantly altering their frame.
To give you a better understanding of this concept, it will help to know that 5 CCs equals around 1 teaspoon of liquid. 15 CCs equals one tablespoon, and 355 CCs is the equivalent of a 12-ounce soda.
If you are considering breast augmentation, you will need to consider a number of factors, such as body size and weight, current breast shape and measurement of your breasts, and the characteristics of your chest wall and breast tissue.
“ The decision to undergo breast augmentation or reconstruction is a personal patient decision. Each woman has different reasons for seeking the procedure, such as wanting a larger size, helping the breasts look as they did before pregnancy and breastfeeding, and reconstructing the breasts after a mastectomy. ”
Important Factors to Consider When Choosing Breast Implants
Breast Augmentation surgery is performed if you want to alter the shape and size of your breasts. Aside from breast implant sizes, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet has to factor in a few more things before deciding on the best breast implant for you.
- Aesthetic preferences: Getting a breast augmentation is a personal decision. You may want implants that put you a few sizes up from where you are now, or you may opt for a larger size that alters your breast shape and your figure.
- Implant Shape: We could use different breast implant shapes to alter the look of your breasts. A round implant can give you more cleavage and a rounder look, while a teardrop implant or anatomical implant can give you a different look.
- Body Shape: Your existing proportions play a significant role in determining your breast implant. Implants with a higher profile can make your breasts look fuller if you have a shorter waist or a narrow chest. On the other hand, if you’re taller or long-waisted, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet may suggest implants with a wider diameter.
- Age: Younger patients have more elasticity to their skin, making it easier to adjust to a new breast profile. If you are older and your skin is descending or prone to descending, you might need to add breast lift surgery and choose high-profile implants.
- Your Lifestyle: – Exercise and Sports If you live a physically active life, we recommend only a slight increase in implant size. Larger breast implants, and larger breasts, can interfere with your daily routine and activities. Sports and exercises can be challenging to manage and can even be uncomfortable.
