What Size Breast Implants Should I Get? The Guide to Getting It Right

"What size should I go?" It's the question every breast augmentation patient asks, and honestly, it's the wrong question. Here's why—and what you should be asking instead.

Why Cup Size Doesn't Tell the Whole Story

Forget everything you think you know about bra sizes. A 34C and a 38C are completely different volumes. Cup sizes vary dramatically between brands, and frankly, most women are wearing the wrong bra size anyway.

Instead, implants are measured in cubic centimetres (cc)—think of it as the actual volume of enhancement you're adding to your natural breast tissue.

The Factors That Actually Matter

Your Current Anatomy

• Chest Width: A narrow chest can't accommodate the same implant size as a broader frame
• Existing Breast Tissue: More natural tissue allows for larger implants without looking obviously augmented
• Skin Quality: Tight skin limits immediate size options
• Breast Base Width: Determines the maximum implant diameter that will look natural

Your Lifestyle Reality

• Professional Requirements: Some careers have unspoken expectations about appearance
• Activity Level: Large implants can affect sports performance and comfort
• Clothing Preferences: Consider what you actually wear, not just special occasions
• Sleep Position: Stomach sleepers often prefer moderate sizing

Your Proportional Goals

• Height and Frame: Petite frames suit different proportions than taller, broader builds
• Hip-to-Waist Ratio: Balance matters for overall silhouette
• Shoulder Width: Broader shoulders can typically accommodate larger implants
• Personal Style: Are you aiming for subtle enhancement or obvious curves?

Common Sizing Mistakes

• Going Too Big Too Fast: The "might as well go big" mentality often leads to regret. Your skin, muscles, and lifestyle need to accommodate your new size comfortably.
• Choosing Based on Others' Results: What looks amazing on your friend might look completely different on your body. Every person's anatomy is unique.
• Ignoring Long-Term Considerations: Larger implants create more strain on your tissues over time and may require more frequent revisions.
• Basing Decisions on Padded Bras: That push-up bra doesn't reflect how implants will actually look and feel on your body.
