Does your height effect how implants will look?

Your height plays a huge role in how breast implants will look on your frame.  Taller patients can get away with larger implants because proportionately the implants will look smaller than they will for a patient who is shorter.  In addition, how wide your breasts are, how much you weigh, as well as any asymmetry should also be taken into account when choosing an implant size. 

This is why it is so critical to choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon experienced in the area of breast enhancement.   Augmentation involves much more than simply making an incision and placing an implant.  Most of the planning for your surgery should take place before your surgery.  To achieve this, careful measurements must be taken to determine not only which size is appropriate for you but also which style. 

I hope this helps!

A person’s height does have an impact on the appearance of the size. A person who is taller is likely able to carry a larger implant without it overwhelming her frame. A 300cc implant may look smaller on a person that is 5’10 versus the person who is 5’5. The diameter of the person’s chest and shoulders, as well as current breast size are generally the determining factors when it comes down to choosing a size. Your doctor will be able to give you a range of implant sizes to achieve the appropriate breast size.
