My BWD is 12,5cm and my doctor chose motiva full round 335cc for me. However I realized that this implant has a diameter of 11,25 cm. I am scared that the implant will look like a "small rock in a large sock"

Answer: Breast augmentation One option is to use 3D breast implant imaging where you can choose the exact implant to simulate the appearance. In my opinion you'd be fine with the 335cc your doctor has picked out.

Answer: Size Yes, the implant diameter can be smaller than your base, but we prefer not larger than your base. A 1 centimeter difference is very small and your will not have the "rock in the sock."

Answer: Certainly Hello and thank you for your question. BWD gives a good guide when selecting the proper implant, however it is common to go larger or smaller than this exact number based on a variety of factors (e.g. implant volume, projection, body type, etc). Something very important for you as the patient to remember is that if the difference is between 12.5 cm and 11.25 cm, it's less than half an inch difference from the implant diameter and your breast base width, so even though the number can be concerning, the actual size difference is essentially negligible. I hope this helps!

Answer: 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 breast implants. 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 is right for them.
