For many women, cosmetic surgery can boost their self-confidence and provide them with a more proportionate figure. So, how do you know the right size breast implants for breast augmentation? If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure about which size to choose, don't worry — you're not alone. Our professionals at Lubbock Plastic Surgery Institute can guide you through the process.

During a consultation in Lubbock, TX, we can provide breast augmentation before and after photos, as well as use special sizing tools to help you visualize the results. In this guide, we'll provide useful tips to help you make the decision for your body. Whether you want to increase cup size or address asymmetrical breasts, we've got you covered with our state-of-the-art breast implant procedure.

Understanding breast implant sizes

Breast implants are not measured in traditional "cups" but in cubic centimeters (cc). They range in size from 100cc to about 800cc. Saline implants, for example, can be filled with varying amounts of saline solution to achieve the desired size and shape. Silicone implants come pre-filled by the manufacturer but also offer a range of sizes. Our providers can help you understand the pros and cons of each type.

Factors to consider when choosing an implant size

So, how do you choose the right size implant? Here are some factors to consider:

  • Body proportions: One of the key goals of a breast implant procedure is to create a balanced and proportionate figure. Your implants should complement your overall shape and address common issues such as asymmetrical breasts. The outcomes should not look too drastic or unnatural.
  • Current bra size: While cup size isn't the best way to measure implants, it can give you a general idea of how much volume you want to add. Bring your current bra size to your consultation so we can better understand your desired outcomes.
  • Lifestyle: Your lifestyle and activities can also play a role in the size of your breast implants. For example, if you are very active or participate in sports, you may not want to increase your cup size too much. It's better to choose smaller implants that won't hinder movement or cause discomfort.
  • Desired look: It's important to have realistic expectations when it comes to cosmetic surgery. Bringing photos of your desired results can be helpful, but keep in mind that everyone has a different body, and certain implant sizes may not work for everyone.

At Lubbock Plastic Surgery Institute, we offer a thorough assessment to help you pick the right size breast implants. This may include:

I recently had a consultation with Dr Mooty and I could not have been more impressed with his professionalism. He offered amazing bedside manner and TRULY listened to my concerns as a patient.... At no point did I feel rushed or as if I could not ask any & every question possible. I went into the appointment feeling anxious & he truly helped me feel comfortable enough to discuss every concern I had. His staff was also extremely helpful, friendly, & caring.... Without a doubt the best medical office staff I have EVER come across in Midland!!I would highly recommend his practice to my family & friends!
