Breast implant measurements.

Weigh the risks of selecting large breast implant sizes the larger the implant the heavier it is. Most surgeons recommend an implant that is slightly narrower or the same width as your current breast width. A lot of women may get hung up on cc s without giving thought to such individual variables as body and tissue type. The breast implant manufacturers usually offer variety of sizes for their implants.

In general the sizing of breast implant is typically being estimated to a 130cc to 150cc when going up one cup size increase in the size of your breasts. Once your breast width diameter is measured your surgeon will present you with several breast implant sizes that work for you. The diameter of a round breast implant is the same measurement as the implant width and height. When your plastic surgeon is measuring you preoperatively the chest diameter will figure into what is the proper breast implant base.

A general rule of thumb when choosing the right breasty implant size is to use an implant that is within 1cm of your natural measurement. Breast implant sizes are measured in cubic centimeters cc s and run the gamut from 120 cc s to 850 cc s. If your breast width measures 13 cm then an implant with a diameter of 13 cm or slightly less such as 12 5 cm is a good fit. A 450 ml implant weighs about 1 pound.
