How Large Can I Go With Breast Implants?

Breast augmentation operations are surgical procedures in which the size of breasts are increased and their shapes can be changed with the help of various implants. One of the important decision-making stages related to breast augmentation surgeries is the selection of implants. The majority of the decision on implant selection belongs to the patient. But of course, the surgeon who will perform the surgery also has a great contribution. Each patient has a different anatomy, and this is a major factor in choosing implants for a breast augmentation. In accordance with the wishes of the patient, the surgeon will assess the needs of the patient and inform them about the options in mutual understanding.

Each patient has a different anatomy and different tissue structure, with different potentials. The amount and distribution of the breast tissue is a factor in choosing implants for the desired results. It is important to know what type and size of implants will be effective in providing the desired results. The shape of the implants are also important. There can be implants that are smaller than others but have more projection and a more prominent appearance. The maximum size of breast implants that a patient can get, can be estimated according to their present anatomical capacity such their present breast tissue, height, weight, chest and shoulder widths. But of course this does not mean that a patient should get the maximum size that their body can handle. For beautiful and natural results, the patient’s body should be evaluated as a whole, and the appropriate size of implants should be selected.

The patient’s lifestyle can also be a factor when choosing implants. For example, a person with intense physical activity in their life and/or who is interested in upper body focused sports should make a choice by taking into account whether their movements would be limited by the implants they choose.

Additionally, women who are genetically inclined to develop stretch marks in their skin should refrain from getting breast implants that are large. Because women with this type of skin structure are not only at risk for the stretch marks that may occur, but also for the sagging and loosening of the breasts and the breast skin after breast augmentation. However, women with this type of skin structure may have breast augmentation surgeries without having to experience any sagging or loosening if they prefer smaller implants.
