Thebreast augmentation with implants is a surgical operation performed by Dr Djian in Paris, which can restore, embellish or restore increase volume of the chest. But beyond the operative gesture, determine size The ideal prosthesis remains the most strategic step. Several factors influencing such as morphology, thoracic proportion, aesthetic preferences, or even the’physical activity. It's not a matter of aiming for a cc number or a mathematical correspondence with a support bonnet, but from’achieve a result a harmonious, long-lasting end result. This comprehensive guide helps you to see things clearly, with concrete examples, clear explanatory charts and reliable medical information.
Before aiming for a cap C or a large size, it's important to understand what size really means when it comes to breast prostheses. It's neither a simple measurement in cc, nor a universal equivalence with the support bonnet. It's the interaction between several anatomical and technical points.
The size of’breast implant is defined by 4 main dimensions, which influence the final render as much as the volume of the breast prosthesis.
Example two 300 cc models can have a final result radically different if one is high profile (projecting more) and the other moderate (more discreet). So there's a real difference in perception, even at equivalent volumes.
Many people think that a 300 cc implant always corresponds to a cap C, or that 500 cc will get you to an E cup. This simplistic equation is misleading. Visit volume of a breast prosthesis is not a single, reliable indicator of the expected result.
The final appearance depends on several factors that influence the perception of volume:
Estimated correspondence table between volume and cup size according to morphology :
| Volume (cc) | Fine morphology (1m50 / 45-50 kg) |
Medium morphology (1m65 / 55-60 kg) |
Wide morphology (>1m75 / >65 kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 | Bonnet B | Small B | A to B |
| 300 | Small C | Cups B to C | Bonnet B |
| 350 | Bonnet C | Bonnet C | Cups B to C |
| 400 | Bonnet D | Cup C to D | Bonnet C |
| 500 | Bonnet E | Bonnet D | Cup C to D |
This is an indicative visualization: implants are intended to modify the shape, projection and proportions of the breast, but the final result depends on several factors such as morphology, the type of implant chosen, its projection and the elasticity of the skin.
Key information to remember It's the overall balance of the bust that takes precedence over the simple square centimetre figure.
The choice of a breast implant is never based solely on a desire or a before-and-after photo. It's a multifactorial assessment, combining medical, aesthetic, functional and personal elements. To achieve a harmonious result and avoid breast augmentation missed, There are 3 key factors to consider, right from the initial consultation.
The patient's body characteristics play a decisive role in the choice of prostheses:
Please note Motiva Ergonomix implants are often recommended for very thin patients. Their soft texture and supple gel are better suited to delicate skin.
The visual aspect is often linked to individual preferences, to the way in which the patient projects herself in her future silhouette, but also to her social or professional environment.
Example a patient wishing to increase her chest circumference while maintaining a natural shape can opt for a average profile, a diameter adapted to its thoracic base, and a progressive volume from 280 to 320 cc.
The surgeon's role is to identify the real possibilities based on technical constraints:
Before any surgical operation, several techniques can be used to determine size of the implants and visualize the final result expected. These tools help you make an informed decision, combining precise measurement, morphological estimation and realistic projection.
During the consultation, Dr Djian suggests a fitting with test prostheses, inserted in the bra.
This simulation process makes it possible to :
Example between a 295cc moderate profile implant and a 310cc high profile, The difference is not always visible on the scale, but can be seen in the final look and impression of curvature.
Some firms offer 3D simulation tools or correspondence matrices between :
These elements enable a structured assessment, particularly when it comes to’increase volume without excess, or to choose between several types of implants.
Board It's often more reliable to base your calculations on before/after images of patients with a similar morphology than on an isolated «ideal» image.
During the’surgical operation, Dr. Djian performs an intraoperative adaptation. This involves :
This method increases the chances of’achieve a result based on a real-time assessment of the company's current chest wall, and natural rendering.
The choice of breast enlargement breast implant is not only based on anatomical elements. It also reflects deep-seated expectations, a quest for personal harmony, a desire for bodily satisfaction and a desire to align oneself with an often long-constructed self-image.
Many patients talk about models from social networks, French or European beauty standards, or personal complexes linked to a particular gender. little hat, a breast ptosis or a failed operation following a breast cancer.
Some women are strongly influenced by :
Women often want something subtle that suits their personality. lifestyle assets or a demanding professional role (e.g. sportswomen, dancers). Others are looking for a more pronounced change, in line with a new phase in their personal journey (separation, new career, end of an old complex...).
The choice of implants also reflects a personal intention: to regain confidence, reappropriate one's body or mark a turning point in one's life. It's not just a question of aesthetics, but of alignment between self-image, deep-seated aspirations and lifestyle.
Here are some concrete tips to help you make a more aligned choice:

10 common mistakes when choosing a breast implant size
Choosing the right breast implant is more than just a matter of cubic centimetres. It's based on an overall vision that combines :
The right size is the one that :
A poorly chosen prosthesis can lead to premature ptosis, discomfort or a disappointing appearance. Hence the importance of making the right choices at the first consultation.
Dr. Djian, plastic surgeon in Paris, is committed to building a customized project. Thanks to his expertise and a keen ear for your expectations, he offers support based on balance, precision and coherence between your body and your self-image.
A good result isn't just measured in terms of image: it's experienced on a daily basis, in the freedom of movement, the pleasure of getting dressed, and the precision felt in front of the mirror.
Questions about implants are among the most common during the pre-operative appointment. Some are practical concerns, others social comparisons, or fears about the expected outcome.
Yes, but not without conditions. Such a bonnet increase depends on the’skin elasticity, the flexibility of the mammary gland. If the amount of projection or the size of the prosthesis is too great at one time, a breast lift or a prosthesis may be necessary. surgical operation may be necessary.
Yes, this often happens, especially when the decision has been taken without hindsight or a concrete visual overview.
In both situations, it's essential to clearly define your aesthetic preferences with your surgeon, using trials, comparisons or personalized projections.
No, that's a common misconception. Modern implants, such as those from Motiva, are far more durable than older models.
As long as the breast prosthesis remains intact, without rupture or complication, and you are satisfied with the result, no replacement is necessary.

In most cases, yes. However, it is essential to :
The most popular models are between 280 and 350 cc, This generally corresponds to a full B or C cup, depending on morphology. Larger implants are rarer and often reserved for very specific requests.
Yes, it is possible to remove breast implants permanently. during explantation. After removal, some patients opt for breast reconstruction (by lipofilling, for example), while others prefer to leave their breasts natural.
Breast implants, especially large ones, can complicate the interpretation of mammograms by masking part of the breast tissue. It is crucial to inform the radiologist of the presence of implants, so that he or she can use appropriate imaging techniques for effective screening.
