How to Choose the Right Breast Implant Size

18 Jan

Dr Jen Law Female Plastic Surgeon Breast Augmentation North Shore East

Choosing a breast implant size is one of the decisions you’ll make together with your surgeon when considering breast augmentation. While cup size is often the first thing people think about, there are other factors that help achieve your desired result.

1 - Consider your body proportions

Your height, weight, chest width, and breast tissue will influence what a particular implant will look like on you. An implant that looks good on one person may look very different on another person.

2 - Consider your lifestyle and goals

Your daily activities, work, and exercise habits can all play a role in deciding what implant size will feel comfortable long-term.

3 - Implant sizers and simulation imaging

Trying on implant sizers in a bra or using 3D imaging during your consultation with Dr Law can help you visualise different sizes and better understand how they may look on your body. External implant sizers and simulation imaging are both available in our clinic.

4 - Consult with your surgeon

Dr Law will consider your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to recommend a safe range of implant sizes that will give you the best long-term result.
