How Is Implant Size Determined?

Breast augmentation offers a unique opportunity to scientifically "customize" the shape of the breast rather than just bra size. You may want to wear an outfit that reveals more cleavage, change your wardrobe style, or simply create the proper balance between your breasts and hips. Generally, the larger you want your cup size, the larger the breast implant the surgeon will consider (measured in cubic centimeters, or cc's).

The Allergan BioDIMENSIONAL® Planning System is used with the Style 468 Shaped Breast Implants to help provide more consistent and predictable results. With this unique planning system, you and your surgeon can consider important dimensions like breast width, height and lateral protrusion to establish the ideal implant size and shape to complement your figure. Breast width is significant, because it figures prominently in both cleavage and lateral (sideways from the body) protrusion. No other system provides such exacting techniques to determine what breast implant will work best for you.
