I am 125lbs, 5'6", have a BWD of 12cm, and currently wear a 34A. My breasts are fairly widely spaced and my nipples project slightly laterally. I am wondering what the best implant profile would be for me? I am hoping for a very natural look and am thinking of going somewhere in the 250-275cc range. I am hoping for a little bit of cleavage. I will of course consult a board certified plastic surgeon but just wanted more insight from a larger community.
Answer: Implant Profile Hello, Based on your measurements and wish photo I would suggest the Mentor Smooth Round Moderate Plus Xtra profile. They give a nice natural look but also would help add the cleavage you are looking for. Always have your surgeon measure your BWD to be as measurements can differ.

Answer: Implant profile Dear Practical689604, 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: Profile When selecting an implant it is always best to meet in person with your board certified plastic surgeon. She/He will measure your breasts, discuss your goals, for surgery, and assist in selecting the right implant to help meet those goals. For a more natural look with conservatively sized implants you may consider a moderate plus profile implant. I've included a video on implant selection that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Size Measurements are needed to determine the best range of size for your tissue and frame. However, the range you are suggesting should look very nice and natural for you. Probably the moderate plus profile would work well.
