How do doctors measure the patients chest wall diameter for breast implants? (photo)

Thank you for your question.  It is not the diameter of your chest wall that your surgeon is measuring, but the base diameter of each breast.  From your pictures and your measurements/weight/height, it does appear that you have a base diameter approximating 9 cm.  This would restrict you somewhat to high profile implants depending on the volume you are seeking.  High profile implants generally give you greater volume and projection with a lower base diameter.  It is inadvisable to use an implant whose base diameter is significantly larger than the diameter of the breast itself.  

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
First I want to congratulate you for making this important decision. Deciding to get an aesthetic procedure to change your body and get a new life style is a big step!

Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get a breast augmentation with implants. The size of the implant will depend of what you want and what your body support; the results of this procedure are beautiful, giving you and excellent shape of the inner and outer pole of the breast. 

Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. For us your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!

Dr. JPG
