Natrelle Style 45 HP for 12 BWD and 28 Inch Ribcage?

Tags: A to C cup, BWD, high profile, implant size, Natrelle

I had a consult with a PS who suggests Natrelle Style 45 HP 320 or 360 to go from a 32A to a 32 full C or small D. My breast width is 12 and my ribcage is 28 inches. I am 5'2" and 104 lbs. I am concerned that I won't have cleavage or side-boob with this narrow of an implant. If I want this, should I go with a wider diameter implant or is it better to keep the diameter less than your actual BWD? The 360s are 10.8cm wide and 5.1cm projection, so is 10.8 too narrow for my breast width?

Breast implant sizing

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree... more

Breast implant size choice

In general the breast implant should remain within the diameter of the breast. Choosing a larger implant risks visible folds and wrinkles. Higher profile implants tend to have less rippling but more projection. I prefer the intermediate pofile implants. untess the breast is signficantly narrow or the paitent requestis this look.

Style 45 breast implants

These are the super high profile very "fake" looking implants.  The diameter you can have really depends on examining you in person.  If you go too wide, you run the risk of a uni-boob and that's very hard to ever fix.

Moderate profile is the way to go

The high profile implant does have the narrow footprint and is very projecting within the breast. We feel the implants look rather round and unlike the natural breast. The moderate profile is the way to go. The upper edge will flow better into the breast and not be visible. The implants will not stand up when you lie on your back. And you can worry less about thinning of the breast tissue over time. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

You need further in person discussions with your chosen surgeon. So you fully understand the options. It is called informed consent. I recommend slightly increase to the 400 cc range. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski

Choosing the right implants

Without a proper exam it is very difficult to offer suggestions for the appropriate implants for you. This is done after careful discussion during consultation.

Natrelle 45 Implants

The style 45 implants by Allergan ( branded Natrelle) are very round appearing with alot of projection.  In someone who is 5'2 and 105lbs, I would be worried that they would appear too round, like baseballs.  With a BWD of 12cm, I would recommend going with a 15-339 ( 12.4width) or a Mentor moderate plus 325 ( 12.5cm).  If you want to get a little closer to your BWD, then a style 20-375 (11.7) or a Mentor HP 375 ( 11.8).  Any of those should work with your... more
