Implant width bigger than breast? (photos)

September 30, 2016
Asked By:momma1986of3 in Pittsburgh, PA

The width of my breast is 12.8. The implant I like has a width of 13.2cm with a 4.6cm projection (435cc) The one below that is 12.5 cm in width, 4.5 cm projection (385cc). The implants are Sientra Smooth Rnd Mod+ . I have read on this site that the implant should always be smaller than the breast. There doesn't seem to be that big of a difference between the sizes. Should I call and ask for one size down or will the original implant I picked be ok.Don't want cleavage to touch. Or be to wide .
