In 3 weeks I'll have my breast surgery.I was informed about my narrow chest which is limiting to go for visibly bigger size,the doctor mentioned something about the high profile but suggested me to not go for it because of 'fake' look.I'd really like them to be much bigger,did my own research, found ladies with small breast and narrow chest,they were suggested to go for high or ultra high profile +, results were absolutely stunning. What should I go for? My measurements are 10.8cm wide. Thanks!
Answer: Narrow chest - which implants? It is hard to determine the best implant size and shape for you without an in-person examination. Narrow chests will indeed create some limitations to the maximum breast size you could have, as each implant volume depends on your chest wall measurements, tissue elasticity and your desired results. It would be best to schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a personal consultation.

Answer: Narrow chest Hi there, thanks for your question.You are correct in that you do have a small chest and you will find that the implant size, shape and profile available to you will be limited by your chest width. It depends what result you wish to acheive, an ultra high profile implant will give you a more prominent result compared to a high profile implant. Traditionally high profile implants are associated with a 'fake look' but this may be because they are placed on women who may have a wider chest. I often recommend high profile implants to patients who are petite with a narrow chest wall and they are pleased with the results. I would recommend visiting your surgeon to discuss the implant sizes again and maybe ask if they offer a 3D scan which will be able to show you a simulation of what different implant sizes and profiles will look like on yourself. It may also be worth asking about the position of the implant as under the muscle will give you additional padding over the implant which can help reduce the 'fake' look.Hope this helps, wishing you all the best with your future surgery.
