Implant Sizing for Wide Chest?

The use of sizers in your bra  preoperatively does not accurately correlate with the size of breasts achieved with sub muscular implants. I think that it is very important that you communicate clearly with your surgeon to maximize the chances of achieving your desired breast size.

In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.

Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.

I use  intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.

I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.

I hope this helps.

I always prefer to use the moderate profile plus saline implants. The reason is that they are adjustable on the table to a large degree. The moderate profile plus implants and usually be "over filled" by approximately 80cc. I you go with an implant in the 450cc range than it can be fill to over 500cc with added projection. Your surgeon can adjust them on the table.

Hello,
This is a dimensional assessment that you need to do with your surgeon at pre-op to figure your best implant dimensions As each surgeon has his or her own way of doing things, you will only get confused reading options on this topic here.
Enjoy your new look.
