Implant Size and Breast Width Diameter? (photo)

Breast implant sizing is difficult and always takes the most time.
You should always go with the size that you feel most comfortable with as long as the implant fits you.
In general going smaller is not a problem and practically speaking there is not a significant difference between these two implants.
We use 3D imaging to help with these decisions and find it exceptionally useful.

It sounds like you and your surgeon have a good plan. Using dimensional planning is an important approach to narrow down your options to implant sizes that not only will look more natural but will lower your risk of complications. There is no perfect implant size for each patient but rather a general goal and desire. There will be very little visible difference between implants that are within 30 cc of each other. Something that I fine helpful for my patients is to remind them that 1 tablespoon = 15 cc. A less wide implant will slightly reduce the width of your final breast and thereby reduce the implant edge feel and visibility. Both devices will project forward about the same amount.  Have these discussions with your surgeon, decide together and agree on the plan. Good Luck.
