Here’s what you need to know about choosing the right implant size and how the process is customized for you.
Understanding Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of the most requested cosmetic surgeries in the United States, helping women enhance volume, correct asymmetry, or restore fullness lost from pregnancy, aging, or weight changes. At Westside Plastic Surgery, Dr. Goggin blends advanced surgical skill with an artistic approach, ensuring outcomes that complement your natural proportions. From your first consultation onward, you’ll have the chance to review your options and gain a clear understanding of how the procedure will be tailored to your body.
Factors That Influence Implant Sizing
Selecting the right implant size is a thoughtful, collaborative process. Dr. Goggin will guide you through each consideration to ensure your results look and feel right for you. Important factors include:
- Body frame: Height, weight, chest width, and the amount of natural breast tissue all influence how implants will appear.
- Lifestyle: Athletic or highly active women may choose sizes that maintain comfort and balance during physical activity.
- Personal goals: Some patients prefer subtle enhancement, while others desire a more noticeable transformation.
- Skin elasticity: Your skin’s flexibility plays a role in determining safe and comfortable implant sizes.
During consultation, you may also try implant sizers or use 3D imaging technology to help visualize potential results.
Types of Breast Implants
Modern implants give patients more options than ever. At Westside Plastic Surgery, you can choose:
- Silicone implants: Filled with cohesive gel for a soft, natural feel. The latest “gummy bear” implants hold their shape even if the shell is compromised, offering durability and reduced risk of rippling.
- Saline implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, inserted empty, and adjusted after placement. These allow for smaller incisions and fine-tuning of volume during surgery.
Implant Placement and Incisions
Placement and incision type influence both appearance and recovery. Dr. Goggin will review which method best suits your goals:
- Inframammary incision: Hidden in the breast crease for excellent access and discreet scarring.
- Periareolar incision: Made around the lower edge of the areola, where natural pigmentation helps conceal scars.
- Transaxillary incision: Placed in the armpit, leaving no scar on the breast itself.
Implants may be positioned above the chest muscle (subglandular) for quicker recovery, or beneath the muscle (submuscular) for a more natural contour and lower risk of rippling. The right choice depends on your anatomy and desired outcome.
