Breast Implant Sizing: How to Choose the Right Fit for Your Body

Choosing to have breast augmentation is a highly personal decision, and selecting the right implant size is one of the most important steps in that process. At The Face & Body Center in Flowood, MS, our team is committed to helping patients make confident, informed choices that align with their vision, body proportions, and lifestyle. 

Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic change, finding your ideal fit starts with understanding the factors that really matter, which don't always include cup size. Here, you'll find a helpful guide on how to choose breast implant size, including evaluating your body type, understanding breast implant size vs. volume, and more. 

 

Is choosing a cup size for breast implants the right approach? 

Cup size might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about breast implants, but it's far from the most reliable guide. Bra sizes can vary significantly between brands, and they don't account for your body's unique shape or structure. Rather than aiming for a specific breast implant cup size, we focus on creating balance and proportion that complements your frame. Your ideal size may look very different from someone else's — even if you share similar measurements. 

 

What should be considered when selecting implant size? 

We take a comprehensive approach to sizing of breast implants, factoring in both physical and personal preferences. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your anatomy and discuss your goals to help you select an implant size that suits you. Key considerations for choosing breast implant sizes include:  

• Your height and shoulder width 
• The width of your chest and rib cage 
• The amount of existing breast tissue 
• Your skin's elasticity and ability to support the implant 
• Your desired level of projection and volume 

This personalized approach helps ensure that your results look natural and feel like you. 

 

What does implant profile vs. volume mean? 

While implant volume (measured in cubic centimeters or cc) gets a lot of attention, profile can play an equally important role in shaping breast augmentation results. Profile in breast implants refers to how far the implant projects outward from the chest. For example:  

• Low-profile implants tend to be wider and flatter 
• Moderate-profile implants provide balanced width and projection 
• High-profile implants are narrower but offer more outward projection 

You might have two implants with the same volume, but they can create very different looks based on the profile. During your visit, we'll help you understand how these factors work together to create your ideal shape. 

 

Should I go bigger with implants or choose a smaller size? 

There's no right or wrong answer in terms of breast implant sizing. Generally speaking, the correct breast implant size is the one that feels aligned with your goals and lifestyle. Some patients prefer a more understated enhancement, while others are looking for a bolder, fuller look. Our job is not to push you in either direction but instead to help you weigh your options for breast augmentation, understand the possibilities, and make a decision that feels right for you now and in the long run.
