Answer: Base Width Base width is an important consideration for breast implant selection. We don't want it too wide or too narrow. But there is some wiggle room one way or the other. A breast lift can narrow the breast a little - depending on technique, anatomy - so a narrow implant is reasonable. If you have more breast tissue that is frequently subtracted from the base width measurement.

Answer: Breast width Hi- thank you for your question. Implant profile is determined by the size you want and your chest wall diameter. You ideally want the implant to fit the chest wall. If its too wide, you get side boob. If its too small/ narrow- the implant doesnt have as much effect and can float in the pocket under the breast. It won't have as much effect and can shift in the sub pectoral pocket. Its a goldilocks approach of finding the implant of best fit. Best to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon. All the best,

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.

Answer: For patients with a broad chest, the moderate plus profile is a good option for breast augmentation. For patients with a wide chest, the moderate plus profile implant works well. Of course, the implant volume depends on your existing breast size and the desired size. When doing a lift, breast tissue is removed from the bottom of your breast to help cinch the lower pole and correct sagging, so the breast is made a little smaller just by doing the lift. (A vertical lift is best. Other methods such as the anchor scar method tend to leave lower pole tissue behind, making the lift less effective). The most common implant shape in my practice is high profile to avoid "side boob." Usually, women with a broad chest select large implants to fit their body frame and provide a good cleavage.
