My bwd is 11.5, will 375cc moderate plus profile implants be too big for my frame?

Breast width measurement is just a gimmicky way to choose implant size and often end up going too small when applying it. 375 cc is not going to be a problem.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

While there is a little leeway, generally I would not advise putting in an implant that is much wider than your breast because of the risks of implant palpability/visibility and implant displacement (ending up where it shouldn't be). To go larger in volume, I would typically use a higher profile implant that stays true to your base width. For base width of 11.5cm, there are implant sizes up to 445cc that would be an option for you, depending on your goals and the look you like. If you are referring to a gap between your breasts that you don't like, it is better to improve that with fat grafting than to use implants that are too wide for your breast.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You can utilize implants ranging in size from 255 to 445cc. Without photos or a physical exam, it is hard to say what would fit your frame well and give you a natural vs noticeable result.

Dear lonebunny,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
