How to Choose Breast Implant Size

It suggests a natural-looking breast has around 45% of its volume above the nipple and 55% below. It's used as a visual guide during consultation, based on Dr Tony Prochazka's approach, rather than a fixed rule applied to every patient.

Not necessarily — implant profile and your own chest width and tissue play a major role too. Two implants with the same cc volume can look quite different on the same person depending on profile, which is why size and profile are always discussed together.

Your consultation is the place to discuss this in detail with Dr Tony, including practical ways to visualise different sizing options for your frame. He'll talk you through what's available and most useful for your specific decision.

Yes, size and placement are considered together, not separately. Larger implants or those with limited natural tissue coverage may influence which placement and incision approach is most suitable — this is covered in our guide to implant placement options.

Yes — breast implants, particularly saline and rounder profiles, can shift and look different depending on position. This is normal and something Dr Tony can explain in the context of your chosen implant type during consultation.

Reference images of the general look you're hoping to achieve are often more useful than a specific cc number alone. Dr Tony can then translate that goal into a size and profile appropriate for your individual anatomy.
