What size implants?

Your photo shows that your breasts are wide apart. You will need to make some choice because I don't think that there is a perfect implant or procedure that will give you the " perfect" look.if you pick an implant that is wider it will help fill out your entire chest better and give you a better chance at getting some cleavage. The only problem is that it may cause your nipples to look a little MRI pushed out to the side because the nipples probably won't be centered beneath the implant (or... more

Questions about implant size

Providing an exact answer for an implant size is impossible using photos alone. A meticulous examination would be warranted to help provide you with the best possible outcome. With that said and the configutation of your breasts and chest wall, it appears that high profile implants would be a better choice. I would strongly recommend silicone ones versus saline. The ultimate size would also depend on the general cup size/appearance that you desire.

Implant choice

Choosing the right implant for you really requires a physical exam and a discussion of your goals. I have actually never measured anyone at 15 cms BWD, but you could be the first.

Breast implant sizing

Clear communication with your surgeon is very important in maximizing the chances of achieving your desired breast size. Demonstrating your goals in front of a full-length mirror is helpful. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is also very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” means different things to different people and therefore... more

Large Volume Breast Augmentation

I agree that because of your height and chest wall circumference ideally large implants would be more suitable, but there are other things to consider. The largest size implant that will fit depends on base width diameter of your breast but also on the distance from your nipple to breast fold and the amount of loose skin available to stretch. Based on your photos, I think it will be very difficult to get a 600-650 implant to fit. You made need to accept something more along the lines of... more

Implant type

Emma- I could be more specific if you post better photos- Especially one from the side. That said, it looks to me like your tall and small, yet your breast is wide. You have to define a bit better what you mean by natural and give a sense of the size you desire. I think an implant in the size range you mention will bring you to the mid-C's although, with your nipple on the left appearing very much to the side (don't know if that's just because it's a poor... more

High profile breast implants with a wide chest

For the most natural breast augmentation the implant must be centered under the nipple, and move and flow with the breast. When the chest is wide a narrower diameter and projecting breast implant such as a high profile or ultra high profile may tend to accentuate the wide space in the middle an produce a round projecting breast, leaning outward. A full implant in a lower profile may do better. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

What sized implant

I am not sure how the 2 base diameter measurements are so different from each other. I would usually not use an implant larger than the 450cc range in most people. You being 6 feel tall allows some room due to the large surface area on your chest and abdomen. High profile implants are typically for narrow women who want to go large. I would think that a 6 foot tall woman would do better with mod profile based implant. go on line and look at photos of taller women, who start with your size... more

What size, shape implant?

I think it a big decision to make when it comes to the size and shape of the implants. In general, it depends on several factors, what you desire in terms of shape and size; this can be addressed by bringing photos of what you like to look like. the other factor is based on what your breast can accommodate. In many cases, I use a sizer during surgery to determine the appropriate implant.

It sounds like you have a thoughtful surgeon

Everything that you mention is a consideration. Base diameter is very important and the truth is, the larger your implant the less natural it will look. Actually, most women getting breast augmentation are happy with the fullness they get in the upper 1/2 of the breast with an implant. This is not a natural look, but it makes the breast look better because it improves the naturally flat upper pole of the breast. The implant gives a natural push up bra look to the... more

Breast Implant Size

Hello and thank you for the question. It would be difficult to give you a precise estimate on the ideal implant size and dimension for you based solely on photographs. Additionally, while the BWD (breast width diameter) is a helpful measure in determining the implant size, it is only one of several determinents. Others include nipple-to-inframammary fold distance, and breast soft-tissue laxity. The combination of these three parameters generally provides the requisite... more

Larger high profile implants for augmentation

Because you are very tall with a generally larger frame, you can handle larger implants and maintain good proportions. Mid 500 devices would be reasonable. Breast diameter is certainly the crucial measurement to determine which profile would be ideal. Getting into implants in the 600 range would likely produce a less natural result.

Augmentation mammoplasty improving cleavage ?

Thanks for giving detailed information regarding your measurements, including your weight, height...and posting your photos. There are not significant differences between these two implants that your plastic surgeons are recommending for you. I agree that silicone implants, under the muscles would give you the best possible results. With moderate implants you are going to have more balanced breast enhancement with a nice cleavage, however high profile implants are going to give you more... more

Bigger implants ,higher complication rate

You are tall and big implants would fit your chest. My concern is your breast tissue and I do not think any implant bigger than 400cc would have enough soft tissue coverage.
