Choosing the right implant size is a pivotal decision when planning for augmentation mastopexy, as it can profoundly affect your overall look and satisfaction with the procedure. At Chesterfield Plastic Surgery, we understand the importance of this choice and are dedicated to guiding you through the process. Let’s delve into the key factors that play a role in determining the best breast implant size for achieving natural-looking results.

Understanding Augmentation Mastopexy

Augmentation mastopexy combines breast augmentation and mastopexy (breast lift) procedures. This dual approach enhances breast volume and improves shape and position. By understanding the unique aspects of these procedures, you can better appreciate how implant size impacts your outcome.

Implants Sizes and Shapes

Breast implants come in various sizes and shapes:

  • Sizes: Implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc). Common sizes range from 200cc to 800cc, with options beyond this range available. The right size will depend on your body type, breast tissue, and desired outcome.
  • Shapes: Implants are available in two main shapes:
  • Round: These implants provide fullness in the upper breast and are often chosen for a more prominent look.
  • Anatomical (Teardrop): These implants are shaped like a natural breast and provide a subtle slope. They are designed to mimic the natural contour of the breast.

Factors Influencing Implant Size Selection

  1. Body Type and Proportions
    Your body type plays a significant role in determining the right implant size. Consider your overall proportions and how they will complement your new breast shape. Our board-certified surgeon will assess your anatomy, including your frame and breast tissue, to recommend an appropriate size that enhances your silhouette while maintaining balance.
  2. Breast Shape
    The natural shape of your breasts is another vital consideration. Different implant shapes—round or anatomical—will create varying effects. A thorough discussion with your surgeon will help clarify how each option affects your appearance and which would suit your body best.
  3. Patient Goals
    Your personal aesthetic goals are paramount in the decision-making process. Do you desire a more natural look, or are you aiming for a fuller appearance? Articulating your vision to your surgeon will guide you toward the appropriate implant size that aligns with your expectations.

Collaborating with Your Surgeon
