For anyone considering breast augmentation, preparing for plastic surgery is essential. Choosing the right breast implant size plays a significant role in achieving the desired look and ensuring lasting satisfaction. With a structured approach, patients can make informed decisions that align with their body type and personal preferences. As a leading plastic surgeon in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Zoran Potparic discusses implant options with patients to ensure they make choices they’ll feel confident in.

Understanding Breast Implant Sizes

Breast implants for breast augmentation are typically measured in cubic centimeters (cc), not traditional cup sizes. They range from 100cc to 800cc, with many patients selecting breast implant sizes between 300cc and 400cc. A specific implant size may appear differently in each person, as factors like chest width and existing breast tissue influence the outcome.

Patients should review the different options with their plastic surgeon to determine what implant size best suits their body and aesthetic goals. A well-chosen implant size complements natural proportions and avoids an overly enhanced or underwhelming look.

Key Factors That Influence Choice of Implant Size

Several factors can help patients choose the right breast implant size for their body. Here are some essential points Dr. Potparic discusses with patients at his South Florida plastic surgery center:

• Body Shape and Proportion: Choosing an implant size that complements a patient’s body frame is key to achieving natural-looking results. For example, a more petite frame may look more balanced with a modest implant, while a broader chest may allow for a larger implant size.
• Lifestyle Considerations: A patient’s active lifestyle can affect the implant size they choose. Dr. Potparic considers these preferences and choices during consultations, helping patients select an implant size that fits their routines and comfort level.
• Personal Aesthetic Goals: Defining their ideal look will help patients choose the right breast implant size for their body. Dr. Potparic encourages patients to bring reference photos to their consultation, as this helps clarify aesthetic goals, making it easier to select a size that aligns with their vision for cosmetic surgery in Fort Lauderdale.

The Consultation and Sizing Process

Each patient at our South Florida cosmetic surgery center schedules a personalized consultation to choose an implant size confidently. During this meeting, Dr. Potparic reviews the patient’s medical history, discusses aesthetic goals, and conducts a physical assessment.

Dr. Potparic may also use advanced 3D imaging technology, allowing patients to see how different breast implant sizes will look on their bodies. This imaging gives patients a realistic view of their potential outcomes.

Types of Breast Implants

In addition to selecting the appropriate size breast implants, patients also need to think about the type of implants they prefer. Dr. Potparic explains the unique benefits of each option so that patients can make the best choice for their needs:

• Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and feel firmer and less natural than silicone. If ruptured, they deflate quickly, making the rupture noticeable. These implants can be inserted through a smaller incision since they are filled after placement. They are typically less expensive than silicone implants. 
• Silicone gel implants are filled with a thick, cohesive silicone gel so they feel more like natural breast tissue. They won’t deflate as quickly if they’re ruptured, which means patients must regularly monitor their implants to detect leaks. Silicone gel implants require a slightly larger incision for placement, as they are pre-filled. They are generally more expensive than saline implants.

Each type of breast implant has distinct features patients should consider. Dr. Potparic guides patients in choosing the implant type that best meets their lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
