When is breast augmentation with large implants contraindicated?
- Short distance from the areola to the inframammary fold;
- Small base of the mammary gland and lack of its own volume;

What are the breast sizes?
Breast size is the measurement most often encountered when choosing a bra or in everyday life. To determine it, you need to use a centimeter tape to measure the circumference of your chest at the most protruding points. Then measure the circumference of the chest along the line of the inframammary fold (under the breast). Subtracting the second from the first value, we get a value in the range from 10 to 23 and find your bust size in the table:
The following bra cup sizes correspond to breast sizes in units:
However, we note that plastic surgeons have completely different standards. When selecting implants for mammary gland enlargement, with the help of which new harmonious shapes will be created, the doctor does not focus on centimeters of girth. Of course, the patient’s wishes are alpha and omega, but the doctor also takes into account other parameters: anatomical, aesthetic and medical. The volume of implants is measured in ml, cm3 or mcg.
There is an average opinion according to which modern silicone implants with a volume of 200 ml are equal to 1 breast size. But for patients with different initial parameters, the result will be different. For example, a girl of small stature (155 - 165 cm) with the original first size and a narrow chest will have implants with a volume of 200 ml, then visually the breast size will be even larger than the second. We should also not forget that in addition to volume, implants also have a number of other characteristics: shape and profile, which also affects the size of the breast after mammoplasty and the final aesthetic result.
