Which size implant would be best for my frame? Concerned about width (photo)

Choosing an implant size is a very complicated process and I think having patients select them after some measurements would be like building a house after measuring the lot size.

I would sit down with your plastic surgeon and discuss all of your options in terms of implant style and volume and width etc. I know patients want to pick their own implant, but in my experience over the years it is really difficult to for a patient to do that and it is much better to lean on your plastic surgeon's experience to help.

Dear amandaaa123,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
