How does the bwd size affect the choice of implant size? PS said I am around 12.8cm so according to the implant sizing chart I should get 375cc mod profile. But thats much bigger than what I want.
Answer: Size You can go smaller and even choose a lower profile, but I do not advise going larger than what your base will easily accommodate.

Answer: How does the breast width diameter size affect the choice of implant size? Hi. To appropriately discuss implant size and choice, you really need an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon with good experience with breast augmentation. Obviously, you've met with a surgeon. Opinions and preferences will vary somewhat from one surgeon to another surgeon. Personally I start with the base width of the patient as the starting point for the footprint of the future implant. Even with the base width though, there are different opinions on that and it is not as exact as a lot of people make it out to be. If you are wanting to be smaller than 375 cc then definitely go smaller. If you have any hesitation on the process so far then certainly consider getting a second opinion. Tissue characteristics, and desired postoperative size, and patient anatomy all factor in to the proper selection of implant volume as well as profile. I go over all of that all in detail with my patients at the time of their consultation.

Answer: Breast width snd implants Breast width allows for range of implant sizes. Usually, the implant diameter will be smaller than the breast diameter, but does not have to max out- you can’t put an implant that is wider than the breast width.

Answer: Breast Width and Implant Size -When you choose an implant that is wider than your breast width, you can expect to have more "sideboob" post-operatively.

Answer: Implant size I don’t use breast width diameter. I always thought it was just a gimmick to make the surgeon look like he or she is scientific about implant size. 375 makes most women a full C. After performing enough breast augmentations the surgeon should know off the top
