After receiving feedback and doing my own research I know I do not want ultra high profile. My question now is how important is Breast Width Diameter and staying under or right at it with the implant I choose? Im getting Natrelle soft touch high profile implants. My breast width diameter is 11.5. Would it be a bad idea to get the 345cc (11.75) or the 365cc (12)? Right now its being recommended that I get 325cc (11.4).

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. BWD is one piece of the puzzle. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Answer: It's not just about breast width Biodimensional analysis is important to determine a hypothetical maximum anatomic capacity. Everyone, including many plastic surgeons, are focused only on breast width when there is another measurement that is just as important: nipple to fold distance on stretch. I can see that the surgeon who created this photo marked 6 cm on the right and 5.5 cm on the left. I am assuming that that was not on stretch, but if it was, then you are going to have problems (low nipple position or worse, double bubble) with using an implant greater than around 275 cc. For an implant that is 350 to 375 range, the distance should be 8 to 8.5 cm. To answer your question, choosing an implant greater than the breast base will put you at risk for implant palpability and wrinkling.
