WOOA Plastic Surgery › Frequently asked questions
How is breast implant size (cc) decided?
The WOOA website states that height, weight, chest width, skin elasticity and breast spacing are measured, breast ultrasound checks the gland and muscle, and a simulation with actual surgical implants is done to decide implant size, height and projection. With Motiva Preservé the implant is limited to a maximum of 315 cc; for standard implant augmentation the website gives no numeric cc range, so it is confirmed at consultation.

How implant size is decided (per the clinic)
- Body measurements: height, weight, chest width, skin elasticity and breast spacing are analysed.
- Breast ultrasound: gland and muscle condition and implant suitability are checked.
- Simulation: volume and contour are previewed with actual surgical implants.
- Implant selection: even for the same cup size, implant size, height and projection are chosen according to body shape and skin elasticity.
- Design: the clinic designs the outer breast line within 1 cm of the armpit line.
Size-related guidance by method and implant
| Method / implant | Size-related clinic guidance |
|---|---|
| Implant augmentation (standard) | No numeric cc range stated — size, height and projection chosen from measurements, ultrasound and simulation |
| Motiva Preservé | Implant maximum 315 cc; suits those who want an increase of about 1–2 cup sizes, or a natural size rather than a large one of D cup or above |

| Mentor Boost / Mentor Smooth | Memory-gel implants (size range not stated on the website) |

What to confirm at consultation
- The volume you want (by cup size) and your current body shape and skin elasticity
- Breast ultrasound results (gland and muscle condition, implant suitability)
- If you want Preservé, the 315 cc limit and candidate criteria
- Mentor's manufacturer lifetime warranty policy: per the clinic, implants are replaced under certain conditions, such as dissatisfaction with size at revision, for products implanted in Korea; confirm the detailed conditions at consultation.
