What Size Breast Implants is Rigth for me?
You already know your breast size, and you might have some idea of how much larger you want to go in terms of cup size. But implants are measured in cubic centimeters (or cc’s for short). For every 150 to 200 cc’s or so, you can expect breast size to increase by one to one and a half cup sizes.

Understanding Silicone Vs Saline
Silicone Implants
The outer layer of all implants is made of silicone. Inside, the silicone layer is filled with a silicone gel that gives a natural feel and texture while being extremely durable. Silicone inserts can form into an anatomic (tear drop) style to give a natural line. The newest implant known as the Gummy Bear Implant is all the rage right now and offers durability with long-lasting, safer results.
Saline Implants
Though still available but not as commonly used today, saline implants are Implants filled with saline and are adjustable to the size and style that you want but they have a more rounded appearance. Since saline implants are filled with sterile salt water, they are safer for your body should there be a leak. Saline implants are also easier to notice if they do rupture.
