Posted November 15, 2025 in Breast Augmentation
When it comes to breast augmentation, choosing the right implant size is one of the most personal and impactful decisions you’ll make. Many patients initially think a larger size will deliver the best results, but that’s not always the case. Finding the perfect balance between proportion, comfort, and aesthetics is key to achieving beautiful, natural-looking outcomes.
Dr. Scott Green, a renowned, board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic breast procedures, helps women in and around Sacramento, CA make confident, well-informed choices tailored to their goals and anatomy.
Finding the Right Proportion
A common misconception is that bigger implants automatically create better curves. In reality, your body’s natural proportions (such as chest width, shoulder shape, and torso length) play a major role in how implants look. Implants that are too large can overwhelm your frame, cause discomfort, and even draw attention away from your overall figure. Dr. Green takes precise measurements during consultation to recommend sizes that complement your unique body shape while maintaining balance and harmony.
Lifestyle Considerations Matter
Beyond appearance, it’s important to consider your day-to-day life. Active patients, for example, may prefer moderate-sized implants that won’t interfere with exercise or cause strain during high-impact activities. A lighter implant can also reduce the risk of back or shoulder discomfort over time. Dr. Green works closely with each patient to understand lifestyle needs and ensure that the chosen implant size aligns with both aesthetic goals and physical comfort.
Long-Term Results Depend on Size Choice
Larger implants may look dramatic initially, but they also carry long-term considerations. Heavier implants can stretch the skin and breast tissue, potentially leading to sagging or requiring future revision surgery. Choosing an implant that fits your frame naturally helps preserve your results longer and supports healthy breast tissue.
Visualizing Your Results
During your consultation, Dr. Green uses advanced sizing techniques and 3D imaging to help you visualize potential outcomes before surgery. This personalized approach ensures that the chosen implant size enhances your natural beauty while matching your expectations. Many patients are surprised to find that a moderate size often provides the most elegant, natural result.
