In deciding which 'Appropriate or Adequate Implant Size' is fit to you when thinking of breast enlargement surgery, the followings are crucial 4 factors to consider:

１. The Method
２．Patient's Desiire of How Big It should be
３．The Chest Frame Measurement
４．Height

These might sound ordinary, but knowing them or not shows big difference in the outcome.

１．The Method　　　　　The most well-known method is the Implant Placement(Insertion) Procedure.









The other 2 are Lipoinjection and HA(hyaluronic acid) Injection.








Some might argue that there are other more, but the other more turn out to be fake when it comes to real enlargement of the breast.
'The other 2 injection procedures also are frauds', some might phrase this. Especially when talking about 'Adequate Implant Size', Lipoinjection and HA Injection are methods that cannot catch up with the 'really enlarged sizes'. But at this point, the only alternatives for Implant Method are these, so just mentioning them FYI.

Before proceeding to the core of this report, let me just state first why injection methods are not that reliable.
Lipoinjection has survival rate issue. Using stem cells from the fat can achieve 80% survival rate of the injected fat cells, is the tone of the false advertising lately. In reality, 30-40% might be achievabe when you are lucky, but mostly below 20% is the common gain.
'Then fill 'em up more', one might cry out such despair, but side effects such as infection and calcification(hardening like a stone) can be observed afterwards.

HA Injection dissolves 100% within a year, and above that, lumps and tissue damage might be observed if overinjected. So desired sizes of the breast is hard to attain , half a cup size might be the best accomplishment, the same as in Lipoinjection.

From these reasons, it is really hard to expect that much from the 2 injection procedures if 'adequate size’is the subject of discussion. Among 3 choices, Implant Placement Method seems to be the remaining best choice we have in achieving the goal.

Therefore, kindly bear in mind that the statements from this point are based only on Implant Placement Method, not under injaction methods.

By the way, breast implants had the silicone and saline(water) types, but saline implants are hardly produced lately because of their unpopularity.

Silicone implants have now the so-called cohesive type which silicone gel is like a gummy bear that even if it is broken it does not leak out of the bag.

２．Patient's Desired Size　　　Of course, the patient's desire has the priority to consider. But since most are not well informed about implant sizes, some might asked sometimes for unreachable requests. One may say that a friend had a 1000cc and wants a bigger size, but actual implant sizes produced have the maximum of 800cc, and it is so rare to have that size. In average, Westerners or Americans who have regular body sizes will have 350cc implant size in average, while Japanese or Asians have 250cc.

To be specific of what bra cup size you get with a certain implant size, 200cc implant gives 1 cup upgrade with American bra cup sizes, 100cc implant gives the same with Japanese bras. But usually additional volume is needed to get your target size because almost everyone, after surgery, is likely to crave for bigger ones, a mental state that some people regard as 'bust greed'.

Almost nobody inserts 100�t for enlargement. With a regular body size,a180�t in minimum、400�t in maximum can fit anyone, in the condition of a regular chest wall circumstances.

Therefore, upon saying your desired breast size、do not be more concrete about the actual implant size first. Instead inform you doctor first whether you just need a naturallly full breast size without big change of bra cup size、

or, you are willing to have a bigger breast size but natural、

or, you are after a as-humongous-as-you-can breast size、

Then proceed with your doctor to the detailed measurements and assessments of your body.

Specifically, besides patient's desire, measurements of the front chest frame and height are prerequisite in deciding the good size for the body.


３．Chest Wall Width（Front Chest Measurement）　　　　Chest wall measurement is the measuring of the horizontal width of the frontal chest inorder to assure what actual size can fit.
180�t to 400�t implants have diameters that range from 10〜13ｃｍ、so choosing one of these that can fit within your one side of the front chest wall gives you a naturally full breast size.

implant diameter 10.5�p



If bigger breast size but natural is the quest, implant that is within ５ｍｍ bigger than your chest frame is the choice, the size that gives just a little over-projection to the sides of the chest while fitting well in the breast without any unwanted stretching.



1 side chest width 12�p、
implant diameter 12.5�p



If a huge breast size unquestionably attracts your interest、implant that is 1�p or more bigger than your chest frame is the one that fulfills your dream, making breasts spread out a lot over side chest wall, and of course, bulging in the front to their limits that sometimes hide your lower body from yourself.

４．Height　　　　　　Two individuals that have the same chest frame and the same bra cup sizes, but have different heights, definitely show different fulness in their upper body appearances.To clarify this in extreme cases, the same C cup bra sizes might look more like D cups on a person with 5' 1'' height, while show less like A cups on a six footer.
So in choosing adequate sizes, someone who has lower height should be careful not to go higher but instead subtract a little from the sizes, while tall person has to choose a little bigger implants than those ones that seem to fit well.


Bottom line(actually lines), adequate implant size in Breast Enlargement is：

１. only achievable in Implant Placement Method
２．can be decided with the patient's desire（naturally full、ornaturally bigger、orhuge）
３. specified bychest wall measurement
４. influenced byheight (subtract a little if short or add a little if tall at the final decision)

By taking these points into consideration, successful outcome can be yours.
