If you’re ready to get a breast augmentation in DC, size is one of the most important decisions you have to make.  It’s a deeply personal choice and there is more to consider than you may realize.   Here are a few things to think about when deciding on breast implant size.

Bra Size Does Not Equal Implant Size

Unfortunately, choosing a size isn’t quite as simple as telling your plastic surgeon what you’d like your bra size to be because the measurements are not the same.  However, a good rule of thumb is that 200cc is equivalent to one bra cup size.  If you’re curious about what most people opt for, 300-400cc is most common, giving patients a 1.5 to 2 cup increase.  Your personal goals may be for more or less than this.

Consider Proportions

Every body is created differently, so 400cc that is perfectly proportioned on one person may look too small or too large on another.  An experienced surgeon can help you consider your body shape, frame, and personal aesthetic goals when choosing the appropriate size.

Shape Matters

Not only do you need to consider the size of your implant, but also the shape.  The most popular options are round or teardrop.  A round implant will give you a fuller, more projected appearance.  If you opt for a teardrop, the shape mimics a natural breast, with more fullness at the bottom for a more natural contour.
