I am 29 years old, 5'4", 112 lbs, no children. My breast tissue width is 10.9cm wide. I have some breast tissue but really not enough to fit in an A cup bra. I am also into fitness and run a lot. I am having trouble deciding between the 250cc and 300cc silicone implants. I really need to know if 300cc is pushing it too far. If the width of a 300cc high profile implant is 11.1cm then it is wider than my breast tissue of 10.9 but is it too much? Thank you!

Answer: Sizing I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:1.Dimensional planning2.Gel Implant Sizing systemDimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. Hope this helps.Best wishes,Dr. Basu
