Choosing the right size implant

Choosing the right size implant is based on your exact body and chest measurements and tissue type. The base width of your chest is only one factor in deciding your implant size. You also have to consider how thick or thin your tissue is that is going to provide coverage for the implant and how loose or tight the skin is. These are all factors that your surgeon should go over with you. From the measurements you have provided the implant size is likely larger than your body can tolerate over the long term. Remember that the more you stretch your skin and breast tissue with a heavier implant than necessary, you will notice sagging of your breasts over time. You have to balance short term and long term effects before choosing an implant size that is right for you. You have to let your surgeon know what your goals are for the surgery. If you are only concerned about being as large as possible, then the implant you mention will be satisfactory. If you want more of a natural appearance, then a smaller implant would be better. Your surgeon should guide your implant selection process.
