Hello, My surgeon and I are discussing implant sizes and me getting an implant with a 10.50 cm diameter on the right, and a 10.25 cm diameter on the left. But I worry, will that difference in diameter be noticeable? Thanks
Answer: Size That tiny difference will not be noticeable, but your surgeon is trying to match very slightly uneven breasts.

Answer: In my opinion, no; Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you 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.

Answer: Impalnt size Dear Minibreastaug,different size implants can help with asymmetry. 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.

Answer: Asymmetry We are all asymmetrical to some degree and this includes our breasts! The difference in diameter won't be as noticeable once the implant is in the body, however the fit of the implant may be a better for the space. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon to better understand the rationale behind selecting differently sized widths.
