When considering breast augmentation, one of the first (and most important) decisions you’ll face is choosing the right implant size. While both large and small breast implants can enhance your figure, each choice creates a very different look, feel, and lifestyle experience. The best size for you will depend on your anatomy, your personal goals, and the expertise of your surgeon.
Triple board-certified plastic surgeon and breast specialist Dr. Ali Sajjadian in Newport Beach, CA, has helped countless women achieve their ideal results with breast augmentation. Whether you’re drawn to the natural elegance of smaller implants or the dramatic curves of larger ones, his goal is to guide you toward a choice that feels authentic and beautiful for you.

Why Implant Size Matters
Breast implant size does more than change cup size. It influences balance, proportion, and how your figure is perceived overall. A slightly smaller implant can highlight subtle beauty and athletic proportions, while larger implants can create a bold, curvier silhouette. Both approaches have their merits, so it’s all about which look you’re going for and what will make you feel most confident.
The Appeal of Small Breast Implants
Small implants, often in the range of 150cc to 275cc, are becoming increasingly popular, especially among women who want natural-looking enhancement.
Benefits of Choosing Smaller Implants
- Natural Results: Small implants blend seamlessly with your anatomy, enhancing shape without drawing attention to the surgery.
- Athletic-Friendly: They won’t interfere as much with workouts, running, or upper body strength training.
- Less Weight, More Comfort: Smaller implants reduce the risk of back, shoulder, or neck discomfort over time.
- Refined Elegance: Many women appreciate the understated, sophisticated look that small implants create.
For women in Orange County who value subtlety and balance, small implants can be the perfect choice.
Why Women Choose Large Breast Implants
Large breast implants, usually above 300cc, remain a popular option for women seeking fuller cleavage and a dramatic figure.
Benefits of Choosing Larger Implants
- Fuller Curves: They provide a noticeable increase in size and shape, often creating an hourglass look.
- Enhanced Cleavage: Larger implants can fill out clothing and swimsuits more dramatically.
- Stronger Aesthetic Impact: Many women love the confidence boost that comes with bold, eye-catching proportions.
- More Upper Pole Fullness: Large implants add volume to the upper chest for a more lifted appearance.
In Newport Beach, where fashion and beach culture emphasize figure and curves, larger implants remain a top choice for women who want to make a statement.
How to Decide What’s Right for You
Choosing between small and large breast implants isn’t just about numbers—it’s about harmony with your body. Here are some factors Dr. Sajjadian considers during your consultation:
- Your Anatomy: Chest width, breast tissue, skin elasticity, and muscle tone influence how implants will look and feel.
- Lifestyle: Do you live an active lifestyle that might make smaller implants more practical? Or are you drawn to a more glamorous look?
- Aesthetic Goals: Do you want subtle enhancement, or are you hoping for a dramatic transformation?
- Long-Term Considerations: Larger implants may require more maintenance or revision down the road, while smaller implants are often easier to maintain.
Dr. Sajjadian uses advanced 3D imaging to help you visualize different implant sizes on your own body. This ensures that your decision is informed, realistic, and exciting.

Many of Dr. Sajjadian’s patients share that smaller implants gave them the elegance they wanted, while others say their larger implants completely reshaped their self-confidence. The key is that each patient worked closely with Dr. Sajjadian to find the size that best matched her vision.
