How big will you go? Turns out, it depends on where you live

Just like accents (water vs. wooder), food preferences (red clam chowder vs. white) and clothing styles (Sperry vs. Ed Hardy), there are distinct differences amongst Americans depending on which part of the country they are from. 

Usually an accent is the first give-away as to where a person originated from (I pawqt my caw...), but in case no words are exchanged, there's a new way to determine what part of the country a new [female] acquaintance is from... (and I'm not referring to a tell-tale hairstyle.) 

Recent studies show that although breast implants are popular across the nation, different styles of boobs are preferred per region. 

In New York city, where high fashion meets fast-paced lifestyles, smaller implants are the norm, with the average implant size being in the 200-cc range. (Just about one cup size increase.) 

In the Mid-West, the most popular breast implant is the one that doesn't look like a breast implant-- women are requesting naturally proportioned breasts that balance out their bodies. 
The expression that "everything is bigger in Texas" especially holds true when it comes to their breast implant trends... Texas comes in #1 for having the largest breast implants, with the average woman wanting at least a size D. (Most patients come in and want to increase their breast size by at least 3 cup sizes.)

In areas that are always warm, such as L.A., Las Vegas, and Miami, big boobs are also in style... however these women show slightly more restraint when it comes to their breast size than their Texan counter-parts. As opposed to increasing their current size by 3 cups, these women usually prefer a 2 cup increase instead. (About 350-cc.) 
 
Women get breast implants for the same reason anyone does anything cosmetic; to look and feel better about themselves. However, not every body is built to accommodate large implants. If implants are too large, there are a variety of unpleasant side effects involved; such as rippling, wrinkling, stretch marks, pressure atrophy, and possibly corrective surgeries will be needed in the future. 

The size of implant that is chosen should not be based on local trends, although it is interesting to take note of. For the best results (now, and 10 years from now) make sure your doctor takes into consideration the build of your body, and the condition of your current breast tissue.
