Choosing the Right Size and Shape for MTF Boobs

When considering MTF breast augmentation, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is the size and shape of your implants. This choice not only affects your overall silhouette but also how natural and harmonious your results appear.

At Manchester Private Hospital, we understand that every transgender woman’s journey is unique—and so should be her aesthetic outcome.

Understanding Implant Sizes

Implant sizes are measured in cubic centimetres (cc) rather than cup sizes. While cup size is commonly used in bras, it can vary widely between brands and doesn’t account for body proportions.

During your consultation, your surgeon will help you try on implant sizers to find what looks and feels most natural for your frame, chest width, and personal goals.

Factors That Influence Size Choice

When choosing implant size, several factors come into play:

• Chest width and ribcage dimensions
• Existing breast tissue
• Skin elasticity
• Desired level of projection and fullness

Our goal is to strike a balance between your body’s natural proportions and your desired breast size. Bigger isn’t always better—it’s about what looks and feels best for you.

Exploring Implant Shapes

There are two primary implant shapes:

• Round implants: These provide uniform fullness and a more enhanced look, often favoured for their cleavage-enhancing effect.
• Teardrop (anatomical) implants: These mimic the natural breast slope, with more volume at the bottom, and are ideal for a more subtle, natural appearance.

Each shape offers different aesthetic outcomes, and your choice will depend on whether you want a more dramatic or natural enhancement.

Importance of Personalised Consultation

Choosing the right implant isn’t something you have to do alone. At Manchester Private Hospital, our experienced surgeons take time to understand your goals, assess your anatomy, and guide you toward a personalized recommendation.

We also offer visual aids and patient galleries to help you visualise results before making a decision.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re looking for subtle curves or a more defined, fuller chest, MTF breast augmentation is a deeply personal journey. Taking time to carefully choose your implant size and shape is essential to achieving results that align with your identity and make you feel your most confident self.
