My implant width is over 6cm less than my BDW - should I have had wider Breast Implants? (photos)

Asked By:Calm131873 in England, United Kingdom

I had a breast augmentation in April 2021 with no lift. My BDW was 18cm. My implants fitted under the muscle have a diameter of 11.75 cm (475cc Motiva ultra high profile). I have bottoming out mostly in the left breast and animation deformity in both. There was a gap between my breasts before surgery which is evident now. My surgeon has said he didn’t need to use a wider implant as I have 3cm of muscle and breast tissue either side to contribute to breast width. Was this the correct approach?
