Many people come into breast augmentation planning thinking mainly about cup size. In reality, choosing the right implant is about fit: your frame, your tissue, your lifestyle, and how you want the result to age with you. In Scottsdale, Arizona, breast augmentation at Sean T. Lille, MD, PC is planned with those details in mind. Dr. Sean Lille brings board certification and advanced aesthetic fellowship training to his Scottsdale plastic surgery practice.

Implant Size Is Not Just a Cup Size

Cup size can be useful when describing the look you like, but it is not a precise surgical measurement. Bra sizing changes from brand to brand, and the same cup size can look very different depending on your chest width and body proportions.

Breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters, often shortened to ccs. Even then, volume is only one part of the decision. The final look also depends on:

• Chest width
• Breast base diameter
• Skin elasticity
• Existing breast tissue
• Shoulder and hip proportions
• Implant profile
• Placement above or below the muscle

This is where an in-person exam becomes important. We can look at your anatomy and help you understand which implant dimensions are likely to look balanced on your body.

Think About Proportion, Not Just Volume

A size that looks appealing in a photo may not feel right during workouts, travel, daily movement, or in the clothing you wear most. Some people want a subtle increase in fullness. Others prefer a more noticeable change. The better question is not “What size is best?” but “What size fits me?”

Looking through Dr. Lille’s breast augmentation before-and-after gallery can help you compare body-frame examples and proportions. Photos are helpful for communicating preferences, but your plan should still be based on your own anatomy.

When Implant Size Alone Is Not Enough

Breast implants add volume, but they do not always correct breast position. If the breasts sit low on the chest, the nipples point downward, or the skin has stretched, choosing a larger implant may not create the shape you want.

In that situation, breast augmentation with a breast lift may be a better option. This combination can add fullness while also improving breast position.
