When you start thinking about breast augmentation, size is often the first thing you wonder about. But finding the right fit goes beyond numbers. It involves proportion, comfort, and how you want to feel in your skin.

For many patients in Long Island and Melville, the goal isn’t a dramatic transformation. It’s about choosing a shape and size that fits their body, reflects their lifestyle, and feels like them. That kind of decision starts with the right conversation.

Start with Proportion, Not Just Size

Implants aren’t sized by cup, but by volume. That means a 300cc can look very different depending on your height, rib cage, and frame. What looks subtle on one person may appear fuller on another.

We’ll look at your proportions during your breast augmentation consultation and help you visualize outcomes using sizers and photo examples. You’ll get a clearer sense of what each size might look like, not just what it sounds like.

Think About Your Routine

How you live day-to-day can affect what size feels most natural. If you’re active or involved in sports, you might prefer a moderate-profile implant that feels lighter and more balanced. Larger implants can sometimes impact movement or comfort during exercise.

This is something we cover during breast augmentation planning, so your results work with your lifestyle rather than complicating it.

Your Tissue and Skin Elasticity Matter

Every body is different. If your skin is firm and your tissue dense, you may have more flexibility with implant size. If you’ve had children, experienced weight changes, or lost volume over time, we may recommend combining implants with a breast lift to improve shape and support.

We may also discuss options like fat grafting to smooth transitions or enhance subtle areas of volume. These decisions are based on your anatomy and goals, not just numbers.

Planning for Now and Later

Your needs and preferences can shift over time. If you ever want to change size or correct a previous procedure, breast revision surgery is possible. It’s something we offer to both first-time and returning patients.

We also offer reconstructive options, including DIEP flap and nipple surgery techniques, for those seeking restorative or post-mastectomy care.

Choosing a Surgeon Who Gets It

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to breast enhancement. That’s why it helps to work with a surgeon who specializes in these procedures and understands the nuances of proportion and aesthetics.

Dr. John Layliev is known throughout Long Island as a thoughtful, precise, and patient-focused plastic surgeon. He offers a range of comprehensive breast procedures and works closely with each patient to achieve results that feel true to their goals.

You can also view before and after photos to get a sense of how different implant sizes look on real patients.

Talk It Through with a Specialist

Choosing an implant size is a collaborative process. You don’t have to know exactly what you want before you walk in. We’ll guide you through every option.
