Breast implants for a wide chest wall/ barrel chest? (Photo)

Your surgeon needs to measure the width of your chest and breasts to determine what implant size to use, but what you are hoping for sounds achievable. 3D simulation imaging is also helpful to give you an idea of the likely result. Regards, Dr Steve Merte, Sydney

Hi there,
Unfortunately without any preoperative photos of yourself, it'll be impossible to advice what is appropriate for you. Either Round or Anatomical shaped implants can potentially achieve the result that you desire. A wider based implants will probably give you better match to your wide chest wall in creating better cleavage and side boobs accordingly. Size & profile determination will be guided by your specific breast & chest wall dimensions.
It'll be best for you to seek an in person consultation with a specialist plastic surgeon for further assessment and advice.
Best wishes

Hi. It is impossible to give you specific advice without a photo and a base width measurement. However it looks like a round implant would suit you better. Regards Damien

Thanks so much for this question. Based on the photos you have posted, I believe round breast implants will work the best to achieve this look. To reduce the gap between the breasts, I suggest you consider implants slightly wider than you natural breast width diameter. Consult with an experienced plastic surgeon for best results. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Its impossible to give you any advice without your own photographs to review.  You need an in person consultation to take your individual measurements and discuss your lifestyle and surgical goals before accurate advice can be given.

Thank you for the thoughtful question.  There are many variables that come into play when determining the specific aesthetic outcome achieved with breast augmentation surgery.  The patient's starting point, for example will determine to a great degree what can be achieved but surgical maneuvers can also play a significant role.  Exactly how/where the breast implant "pocket" is dissected and which breast implant size/profile is selected may play a big role when it comes to final aesthetic outcome achieved.
 My best suggestion: select your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully as well.  The use of goal photographs and computer image may be very helpful during the communication process. After doing so, your plastic surgeon will be able to tell you whether or not the desired outcome is realistic, given your specific anatomic starting point.
 Best wishes.
