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 .

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Size Selection Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Implant diameter should not exceed breast diameter If the implant is wider than the breast, then the pocket has to go beyond the anatomic boundaries of the breast. This can lead to thinning of the tissue envelope which in turn increases the risk of visible rippling and implant bottoming out. These are particularly important issues for a thin person like you. There are several different implant profiles so that the size can be increased by projection or diameter.
