Small Base Width on wide chest - What size implant is best? (Photos)

May 23, 2025
Asked By:User1234K in Nashville, Tennessee

It is my understanding that I have a smaller base width diameter (11.5) on a wider chest (internipple distance 20). I am starting at 32AA and looking for subtle natural looking implants. To avoid the “stuck on” appearance as well as avoiding having the implants look too lateral given my wider chest, is it best to maximize the diameter of the implant available to me? I.e. go with an 11.5cm moderate profile implant?

Zoran Potparic, MD says:

The only way to get nipple/areola higher in your chest wall is through breast lift. Implant augmentation should be done after that with a goal to preserve current position of IMF. It can be done in a single or two surgery procedures. This is something you need to discuss with your surgeon ahead...
