I would like an implant that covers my frame. I like the side boob sticking out a bit so it gives my figure that curvy figure.. so I want my implant to be wide enough that it covers my frame. Will this always be achievable if I choose an implant that has a width that is greater than my breast base width? Eg. My bwd is 12.5 and I chose a 360cc moderate that had a width of 12.75. See pic of what I mean by the implants cover the frame and is wide enough. Thank you!
Answer: Implant Your surgeon will measure you and guide you to the size that best fits your frame and tissue. The base of the implant should not be wider than your breast base. If your implant is too large for your base, it does not fit well long term. You will still have breast projection on the side with the proper size.

Answer: Side boob and breast implant size Thanks for your question. Choosing an implant size involves many factors including your breast measurements, the quality of your breast skin and tissue, and your desired appearance. Without doing an in person exam, it seems that the implant you described should fit your frame well based on your described measurements. Make sure you have an in depth conversation with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: C520 Thank you for your question and providing a photo. You can easily achieve what you desire by using an implant with a wider base dimension. I have been in practice for over 25 years and found you can easily go 1 cm wider than your base dimension. I do believe choosing an implant that fits dimensionally well is very important. Your PS should measure your internal BD at surgery ( which may be different from the external BD), and choose the best implant dimension and profile to achieve what you want. I hope this helps

Answer: Breast implant width vs. upper body frame Hi. It looks like the photo is what you desire as oppose to your current situation. You need to be very careful that in your quest to have "side boob" the dissection is not overdone laterally. If it is, the implant may displace to the side of your chest creating a very large and unsightly gap in the middle of your chest. Good luck. Dr. PG
