I read John Tebbett’s book Augmentation Mammaplasty and in it the High Five method of tissue-based planning. For “natural” results can you go right up to the BWD with the implant diameter? Or is it optimal to go smaller than BWD? If so, by how much? My BWD was measured at 12cm (but may be closer to 13cm) and I’m trying to decide between Mod+ Xtra implant of 11.5cm diameter (295cc) or 11.9cm diameter (325cc). I’m 36 yrs old 5’8” 165lb. No ptosis. 0 gravida. Good skin quality, no laxity.
Answer: Implant diameter can be slightly smaller than BWD The decision on the optimal implant diameter relative to breast width for a natural-looking result can vary depending on a patient's individual factors and goals. However, generally, for a natural look, it is often recommended to choose an implant diameter that is slightly smaller than the breast width. Based on your BWD measurement of 12-13cm, the 11.5cm diameter (295cc) implant you are considering are within the range of your BWD. However, the final decision should be made in consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can take into account your specific anatomy and goals. It's important to note that implant diameter is just one factor to consider when choosing breast implants. Other factors such as implant projection, implant shape, and type of implant (saline or silicone) also play important roles in achieving a desired outcome.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast Implant Diameter relative to Breast Width? Thank you for your question. You have excellent breast anatomy and should achieve a very nice result. Because your breasts are slightly widely placed on your chest I would choose the wider implant to help improve your cleavage and "side boob". Choosing implant that is as wide as your base with at even a small that wider is acceptable. Your plastic surgeon will provide an accurate measurement of your base with and help you decide on the base with of your implant.

Answer: Size Your surgeon who has much more knowledge and experience than you can help you select the best fitting implant for your tissue and frame. It is more involved than just selecting the base width. You will be paying for that knowledge.

Answer: Breast Width Diameter and Breast Implants - We commonly place breast implants that are the same width of our breast augmentation patients' base diameter. You can still look natural if you go up to that natural base diameter, or breast width, that you have. - As you might expect, the more you exceed the width beyond your own base diameter, the more "side boob" you'll have after your breast augmentation. - You would look great with either implant size you have listed above. - Best of luck to you, and thanks for sharing!

Answer: Natural-looking breast implants There are a number of factors to consider when your goals are a natural- looking breast augmentation. Generally using smaller volume, lower profile (also known as projection) is the best way to achieve a more natural appearance. It may also be worth considering using fat transfer (also known as fat grafting) in addition to an implant to add natural volume and customizable cleavage. This helps to soften aesthetic lines and hide the borders of the implant in thin women. It is important to respect the base width diameter, as this is the measure of your breast 'footprint'. Not respecting this and using and implant that is either way to narrow or way to wide can distort your breast aesthetics. In general i think it acceptable to use an implant that measures up to 1 cm less than your base width diameter and up to one half of a centimetre wider and still maintain breast aesthetics.
