Why is BWD used as a limiter for implant size?

March 17, 2023
Asked By:orange0324 in Canada

In particular for people who have little natural breast tissue; the risk of rippling is already inherently higher. Additionally, BWD is not a measurement set in stone. For instance, with the same chest walls, pectoral muscles and weight, I could have hormonal changes which cause my boobs to grow, resulting in a higher BWD. So why would a doctor be strict about not exceeding my BWD even by just 4mm, for example? What if I want less boob gap, and/or more side boob?
