Many of you have probably heard the popular phrase, “Bigger is better.” But is bigger really always better? In the case of breast implants, I’m here to tell you: “not necessarily.”

Choosing your breast implant size can be one of the most challenging aspects of a breast augmentation. The right size depends on your body frame, anatomy, and other important considerations. What will look best for one patient may not look great for another. Many women wonder, “How big should I go?” One of the best ways to determine the right size of implants is to meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon. He or she can help determine the appropriate size for you.

In general, bigger does not necessarily mean it will look better. While one obvious goal of a breast augmentation is to increase the size of your breasts, getting implants that are too large for your body shape may cause the breasts to appear out of proportion with the rest of your frame and look unnatural. Take into consideration your natural breast size as well as your body frame. After you and your plastic surgeon have decided on an appropriate size for you, you can enjoy your new, beautiful Los Angeles breast implants!
