Size matters — but not in the way most people think.
The “right” breast implant isn’t about chasing a certain look or keeping up with the hottest trends. It’s about you. It’s about finding the right proportion, balance, and how you want to look and feel when you walk out into the world.
Dr. David Liland is a Dallas native and a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience. He’s helped countless patients across Texas choose implant sizes that reflect their lifestyle and body, not someone else’s idea of beauty.
Why It’s Important to Consider Your Implant Size
When implants are too small, patients often feel underwhelmed, which is not something you want to experience after going through with breast implant surgery.
But if your implants are too large, daily comfort can suffer. Most women simply want to feel confident in and out of clothes, and that starts with selecting a size that fits their shape, not just a cup size.
Factors That Influence the Right Size
Your Frame and Chest Shape
The width of your chest and ribcage, and the amount of natural breast tissue you have, determine what implant sizes will sit properly and look balanced. Implants that are too wide or too narrow can affect how natural the outcome looks.
Your Personal Aesthetic Preferences
Some patients want a “barely-there” boost. Others are after more volume.
Neither is wrong — it just depends on your style. During your consult, you’ll look at examples, try sizers, and discuss what “natural” means to you.
Your Daily Routine
If you’re highly active or athletic, that might guide you toward smaller implants with a moderate profile. Heavier implants can impact posture or feel cumbersome during workouts, especially long-term.
What About Implant Profile?
Profile refers to how far the implant projects from the chest wall.
A high-profile implant may give you more projection and upper fullness, while a low- or moderate-profile option may look more natural, especially on wider chests.
Is Bigger Always Better?
Implants over 700–800cc are considered large, and while they’re right for some, they’re not for everyone. Larger implants can feel heavy, stretch the skin, and increase the risk of revision surgery.
Dr. Liland will help you weigh the pros and cons of “going big” — and whether it’s worth it for your frame and lifestyle.
Saline or Silicone?
Saline implants can be adjusted during surgery and may feel firmer. Silicone implants, often preferred for their softness, come in many sizes and cohesiveness levels. Both can be safe and beautiful when placed properly—your choice depends on personal feel and your surgeon’s recommendations.
Revision is Always Possible
Choosing the wrong size is one of the most common reasons patients seek revision surgery. That’s why Dr. Liland takes the time to guide you through sizing, visuals, and options before you commit. If needed later, a size change or implant removal is possible.
