I'm trying to find my happy medium between the volume of the implant and the width. My concern is that for the size I would like that the base will appear too small on my chest.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Size Selection 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.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Size and Shape Thsi is a good question but there is no easy answer. Since implants today are often shaped and a the very least have a flat back, the dimensions of your chest and the implant are important but shape and your desired size alos play a role in determining the best implant for you.One of the best ways to determine a breast implant shape, size and projection is to allow you to chose it. That way there is no quessing as to what YOU want! With the gummy bear implants that we are using today, this is done by first measuring your chest wall to see what size implant would work in terms of dimensions, especially the implant diameter. After that, what we do at our office is to allow you to try on implants in a bra so you can decide what size range you like. From there we can chose an implant that has the right diameter at the base and the right projection to give you the size you are looking for. The shaped gummy bear implants produce a very natural looking breast that also feel very natural. This method works out very well and patients are very happy without having to get confused by all of the information about sizing that is here on the internet! Sientra gummy bear implants work very well above the muscle which allows for better positioning of the implants for patients who have breasts that are set quite wide apart. This allows us to get your breasts to look closer together so that you can have some cleavage. I have added a web reference and a video that should be of some helps for you. There is also information about 24 hour rapid recovery breast augmentation on the website that you may want to consider as well. I hope that helps. Best regards.
