I am 5'2, 119lbs, and my BWD is 11.2cm. I want to get Natrelle inspira soft low plus implants, but their diameter is 12cm. I'm concerned that getting implants with a wider diameter than my actual breasts will make me look wide and matronly. I used the Vectra 3D imaging to compare low plus and moderate implants, but I wasn't really able to tell them apart. Most people I spoke to said their augmentation didn't look like what they saw on their Vectra. Should I use a moderate profile instead?
Answer: Implant diameter I agree with your concern that an implant wider than your breast diameter will be a problem. The implant's diameter should not exceed your breast diameter. Vectra 3D imaging helps but should not by itself be used for implant selection. Trying on sample implants of various projections and volumes would be more helpful in your case. Based on what your desired volume is, it seems that you will need at least moderate profile, and possibly even full-profile, implants (hard to say without an in-person examination). Also, based on your anatomic characteristics I see in your photograph, you may be a better candidate for the cohesive style implant rather than the soft-touch.

Answer: Is just too wide? Is just too wide?Online, it is not possible to actually give a recommendation about a particular with an implant. However, my best guess is the 12 cm breast implant will actually not be too wide for your frame. However I still recommend that you see at least one more plastic surgeon and get a second opinion about which is the best recommendation for you!Best wishes on your upcoming surgery! Dr. Aldo

Answer: Implants should not be wider than the breasts If your base diameter is 11.2 and you use implants that are wider, the pocket for the implants will have to go beyond the natural boundaries of the breast. This can lead to problems such as thinning, rippling, and bottoming out. Go with the moderate profile implant. You are correct BTW that the VECTRA system is helpful but not 100% accurate, so we use that in addition to trying samples in a bra of the desired cup size.

Answer: Would 12cm diameter Natrelle Inspira Soft, low plus, 250cc, be too wide? My BWD is 11.2. It's true that vectra representations don't really show what the final result will actually look like. 12cm implants for an 11.2cm base width is right on the line of what will still look natural. You may have a few millimetres of implant protruding towards the armpit, however this is a curve that a lot of women are asking for. I'd suggest booking an appointment with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and come up with a plan based on their in-person assessment of your body. Hope that helps!
