Nowadays, there are many kinds of breast implants available. Faced with numerous brands, sizes, and shapes of implants, don't you feel a bit torn? For laymen, choosing the most suitable implant size for one's own breasts is not an easy task. [Christmas Event] Quanzhou Huamei Beauty Clinic offers great discounts on plastic surgery for Christmas. How do we choose the right size of breast implants? Let’s first look at the aesthetic standards for Oriental women's breasts: A pair of aesthetically pleasing breasts should be hemispherical or conical in shape, full and upright, soft yet elastic, symmetrical on both sides, located between the 2nd to 6th ribs, with the inner boundary being the parasternal line and the outer boundary being the anterior axillary line. The nipples should be slightly protruding outward, located at the top of the breast mound, with a rosy color for the nipple and areola complex. The nipples should be located between the 4th ribs, 1cm lateral to the midclavicular line, with harmonious proportions among the nipple, areola, and breast.

2. The diameter of the areola is 3.5-4.5 cm, the diameter of the nipple is 0.8-1.2 cm, and the height is 1.5-1.6 cm.
3. The distance from the sternal notch to the nipple is generally 18-24 cm, increasing by 3 cm when lying down. The distance from the inframammary fold to the nipple is 5-7 cm, and the distance between the two nipples is 18-24 cm, forming an equilateral triangle with the sternal notch.
In clinical practice, there are many methods to measure the customer's natural breast volume, then selecting implants based on this volume. Methods such as X-rays and MRI can be used, but I believe that measuring the actual breast volume has limited clinical significance and serves only as an auxiliary role. Ultimately, the decision on the implant size should be based on the individual's body shape, breast characteristics, and aesthetic parameters, combined with the surgeon's clinical experience and the patient's desires. Selecting implants according to individual differences is more practically significant. For example, if Zhou Chan and Alain have the same existing breast volume and ultimately receive the same size and shape of breast implants, will they both achieve satisfactory results? The answer is obviously no. If Zhou Chan's breast base is 12 cm, then the chosen implant diameter cannot exceed this measurement; otherwise, the edge of the implant will be clearly felt postoperatively, leading to a harder texture and unnatural appearance. On the other hand, if Alain chooses a smaller pair of implants simply based on personal preference, the breast shape may be suboptimal, with loose skin and an inability to achieve a full, natural, and perfect result.
