The Complete Guide to Choosing Breast Implant Size
One of the biggest concerns women have is choosing the right size – not too big, not too small, but perfect for their body. Here’s everything you need to know:
Understanding Implant Measurements
Volume (CC – Cubic Centimetres):
- Implants measured in CC, not cup sizes
- Common range: 200cc to 500cc for most women
- Each 150-200cc typically equals one cup size increase
- Your surgeon recommends based on your goals and anatomy
Important Reality: Cup sizes vary dramatically between bra brands. A C-cup in one brand might be a D-cup in another. That’s why plastic surgeons use CC measurements for precision and consistency.
Factors That Determine Your Ideal Size
Your Body Frame and Height:
- Petite women (under 5’2″): Usually 200-350cc looks proportionate
- Average height (5’3″-5’6″): Typically 300-450cc suits most
- Taller women (5’7″+): Can accommodate 400-550cc+ comfortably
Your Chest Width:
- Narrow chest: Smaller implants avoid unnatural appearance
- Average chest: More flexibility in sizing
- Broad chest: Can accommodate larger implants naturally
Existing Breast Tissue:
- Very little tissue: Smaller implants often look better
- Moderate tissue: More sizing options available
- Good amount of tissue: Can support larger implants
Your Lifestyle:
- Active, athletic: May prefer a moderate, comfortable size
- Professional requirements: Consider appropriate appearance
- Personal style: Subtle vs more obvious enhancement
Skin Elasticity:
- Good elasticity: Can accommodate size changes better
- Tight skin: Gradual sizing may be needed
- Loose skin: May need lift with a smaller implant
The “Too Big” Problem
Many women later regret going too large. Common issues include:
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain from weight
- Difficulty finding well-fitting clothes
- Looking obviously augmented rather than natural
- Implants interfering with physical activities
- Unwanted attention and comments
- Regret and desire for downsizing surgery
Dr. Singh’s Recommendation: “I always advise patients to choose a size that looks natural and proportionate for their body. Going slightly smaller than your initial wish often leads to the highest long-term satisfaction. You want people to notice how beautiful you look, not to notice your implants.”

Implant Safety: Addressing Your Concerns
Safety is naturally a top concern. Let’s address the most common questions about breast implant safety in India:
Are Modern Breast Implants Safe?
Yes, with Important Context:
Modern Implants are Highly Tested:
- Undergo rigorous testing before approval
- Multiple generations of improvements
- FDA-approved breast implants are available in India
- Millions have been safely used worldwide
- Long track record of safety data
Fifth Generation Silicone:
- Current implants are far safer than older versions
- Cohesive gel that stays in place even if the shell breaks
- Reduced rupture rates
- Better longevity
- Lower complication risks
Regular Monitoring Recommended:
- Not “fit and forget” devices
- Regular check-ups with your surgeon
- An occasional ultrasound or MRI may be advised
- Early detection of any issues
- Prompt management if problems arise
What About Breast Implant Illness (BII)?
The Current Understanding:
- Some women report symptoms they attribute to implants
- Symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and rashes
- Scientific evidence is still being gathered
- No definitive proven link has been established yet
- Removal sometimes improves symptoms
Dr. Singh’s Approach:
- Thorough pre-operative screening
- Only using the highest quality, approved implants
- Complete informed consent about current knowledge
- Long-term monitoring and support
- Prompt attention to any concerns
- Removal option always available if desired
Capsular Contracture: What You Should Know
What It Is:
- Scar tissue is forming around the implant, tightening excessively
- Makes the breast feel hard or appear distorted
- Can cause discomfort in severe cases
- One of the most common complications (still relatively rare)
Risk Factors:
- Bacterial contamination during surgery
- Bleeding/hematoma after surgery
- Implant placement above the muscle
- Genetics and individual healing
Prevention:
- Meticulous surgical technique (Dr. Singh’s strength)
- Antibiotic protocols
- Submuscular placement when appropriate
- Proper post-op care and massage
If It Occurs:
- Usually develops 6-12 months after surgery
- Ranges from mild to severe (graded I-IV)
- Treatment options available, including revision surgery
- Dr. Singh has experience managing this issue
Implant Rupture and Leakage
Silicone Implants:
- Modern cohesive gel stays in place even if the shell breaks
- “Silent rupture” – may not notice immediately
- Detected through imaging (ultrasound, MRI)
- Requires surgical removal and replacement
- Not an emergency, can be a planned procedure
Saline Implants:
- Obvious deflation if rupture occurs
- Saline is safely absorbed by the body
- The breast appears noticeably smaller
- Requires replacement surgery
- Safe but cosmetically disappointing
Minimising Risk:
- Choosing an experienced surgeon (proper technique)
- Quality implants from reputable manufacturers
- Avoiding trauma to the breasts
- Regular monitoring
- Following post-op instructions carefully

Making Your Decision: Is Now the Right Time?

- Financial Preparedness: Can afford procedure without financial stress
- Schedule Allows: Have 1-2 weeks for recovery
- Support Available: Someone to help you during initial recovery
Times to Wait
- Planning Pregnancy Soon: Better to wait until after completing the family
- Active Weight Loss: Reach goal weight first, maintain for 6 months

- Pressure from Others: The Decision should be for yourself, not to please someone else
- Unrealistic Expectations: If expecting surgery to solve relationship/life problems

- Active Infection/Illness: Need to be in good health for surgery

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do I know if I’m choosing the right breast implant size?
The right size looks natural and proportionate on YOUR body, not based on what size someone else chose. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh uses 3D imaging, physical sizers, your measurements, and his extensive experience to guide you. Trust his professional recommendation – he’s seen thousands of results and knows what works long-term. Most regret comes from going too large, rarely too small.
2. What’s the difference between a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon?
Plastic surgeon is a recognised medical speciality requiring M.Ch degree with 3+ years dedicated training after MS. “Cosmetic surgeon” is not a recognised speciality in India – it’s often a marketing term used by doctors from various backgrounds who’ve done short courses. Always choose an M.Ch-qualified plastic surgeon like Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh for breast surgery.
3. Can breast implants look and feel natural?
Absolutely! With proper implant selection, placement technique, and an experienced surgeon like Dr. Singh, results are beautifully natural. Key factors: choosing an appropriate size for your frame, submuscular placement, high-quality silicone implants, and adequate existing breast tissue. Most people won’t know you have implants unless you tell them.
4. Are breast implants covered by insurance in India?
Typically no, as breast augmentation is considered cosmetic. However, if done for reconstructive purposes (after mastectomy, congenital deformity, severe asymmetry), some insurance may provide coverage. Check your policy and discuss with Dr. Singh’s team. Most patients pay out-of-pocket for cosmetic breast augmentation.
5. What happens if I don’t like my breast implant results?
Revision surgery is possible, though best avoided through careful planning initially. If size is the issue, implants can be exchanged (waiting 3-6 months for tissue healing). If position or shape is the problem, corrective surgery can address it. Dr. Singh’s thorough consultation process and conservative sizing recommendations minimise the chances of dissatisfaction.
6. How often do breast implants need to be replaced?
Modern implants can last 15-20+ years or longer. They’re not lifetime devices but don’t have an “expiration date.” Replacement is needed only if: rupture occurs, capsular contracture develops, you desire a size change, or implant-related problems arise. Many women keep their implants for 20-30 years without issues. Regular monitoring helps detect problems early.
