Proportion and Balance
Every patient’s body is different, which is why implant sizing goes far beyond choosing a cup size. During your consultation, measurements such as chest width, breast footprint, and tissue thickness are carefully evaluated. These details provide the foundation for determining implant sizes that look natural while fitting safely within your anatomy.
A size that appears balanced on one patient may look too prominent or too subtle on someone else. The goal is harmony—choosing an implant that adds fullness while maintaining flattering upper-body proportions.
How Implant Profiles Influence Your Look
Implant profile refers to how far the implant projects from the chest wall, and this can dramatically influence your final appearance.
- Low-profile implants provide gentle projection and work well for broader chests.
- Moderate-profile implants offer a versatile, natural result suited to many body types.
- High-profile implants offer greater projection and are often chosen by patients seeking a fuller, rounder look.
Dr. Krau considers both size and profile when designing results that look cohesive with the rest of your figure.
Lifestyle and Personal Goals Matter
Your everyday life plays a key role in selecting an implant. Patients who lead active lifestyles or engage in high-impact sports often prefer smaller implants that allow for comfort and freedom of movement. Others may desire a more dramatic enhancement that adds contour and fullness to the upper body.
Choosing the right size means thinking about what will feel natural to you, not only aesthetically but also functionally.
Visualizing Your Results
Sizing sessions are an important part of the decision-making process. Using implant sizers inside a bra or digital imaging tools, you can preview how different volumes may look on your frame. This step helps ensure confidence in your choice and allows you to compare subtle differences between implant options.
