The right size is
measured, not guessed.
Breast implant size is chosen in CC (cubic centimetres) from your chest base width, tissue quality and proportions — not from a cup-size wish. Dr Saba Al Marush's sizing method lets you see and feel the outcome with sizers before you ever decide.
How implant sizing really works.
Every breast has a footprint — the base width of your chest wall. An implant wider than that footprint can't sit naturally, no matter what the CC number says. That's rule one, and it's non-negotiable in Dr Saba's method.
Within your width, volume (CC) and profile (projection) shape the outcome: roughly 150–200cc adds one cup size, and a higher profile pushes volume forward instead of sideways. Your tissue quality decides how much weight the result carries gracefully over the years.
At consultation you'll try real sizers in a bra, see your options in 3D where relevant, and leave knowing your number — not hoping for it. Shape comes next: see round vs shaped.
What each CC range typically gives.
| Volume | Typical Outcome | Approx. Change | Best Suited Frame |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200–275cc | Subtle, refined enhancement | ~1 cup size | Petite frames, minimal-change goals |
| 280–350cc | Balanced, clearly fuller silhouette | 1–1.5 cup sizes | Most patients — the most chosen range |
| 355–425cc | Noticeable volume with soft movement | 1.5–2 cup sizes | Medium to broader frames |
| 430–500cc+ | Dramatic transformation | 2+ cup sizes | Broader frames, selected cases only |
Cup-size changes are approximations — bra sizing varies by brand, and the same volume looks different on different frames. Your measurements decide.

How is breast implant size chosen?
Implant size is chosen from measurements — primarily your chest base width, tissue quality and existing breast volume — then refined with your aesthetic goals. Dr Saba Al Marush uses this proportion-first method with sizers and 3D assessment so the result fits your frame naturally.
What does CC mean in breast implants?
CC stands for cubic centimetres — the volume of the implant. Implants typically range from about 200cc to 500cc+. Roughly 150–200cc adds one cup size, but the visual effect depends on your frame: the same 300cc looks different on a petite and a broad chest.
Can I just choose my cup size?
Cup size is a useful conversation starter but not a surgical measurement — bra sizing varies between brands. Dr Saba translates the look you want into CC volume matched to your base width, then lets you try sizers so you can see the outcome before deciding.
What is the most popular breast implant size?
Most patients choose between 280cc and 400cc — enough for a clearly fuller, balanced silhouette that still moves naturally. In Dubai, Dr Saba's patients most often land in this range, but the right number is always the one your measurements support. See the full breast augmentation guide.
Can breast implants be too big?
Yes — an implant wider than your natural base or too heavy for your tissue raises the risk of stretching, visible edges and earlier revision. Dr Saba's French philosophy caps size at what your anatomy carries well, protecting both the look and the long-term result. Pricing by size is covered in the cost guide.
