How do surgeons determine the right breast implant size (cc) and profile for my body in breast augmentation?

#

Implant sizing is determined using High-Five tissue-based planning, which measures breast base diameter, chest wall width, tissue stretch (pinch test), and soft-tissue coverage rather than bra cup sizes.

What this means for you

Implant volume (ranging typically from 225 cc to 375 cc) must strictly match the anatomical base width of the natural breast to avoid lateral displacement or symmastia (uniboob). Implant profiles (moderate, moderate-plus, high, and ultra-high) determine forward projection from the chest wall. Anatomical sizers allow patients to preview proportionate results at the consultation.

Care and next steps

Harmonizing implant diameter with natural thoracic proportions guarantees long-term tissue support and avoids premature breast sagging.
