Implant Diameter relative to Breast Width? (Photo)

March 1, 2023
Asked By:Modest400975 in Tyler, Alabama

I read John Tebbett’s book Augmentation Mammaplasty and in it the High Five method of tissue-based planning. For “natural” results can you go right up to the BWD with the implant diameter? Or is it optimal to go smaller than BWD? If so, by how much? My BWD was measured at 12cm (but may be closer to 13cm) and I’m trying to decide between Mod+ Xtra implant of 11.5cm diameter (295cc) or 11.9cm diameter (325cc). I’m 36 yrs old 5’8” 165lb. No ptosis. 0 gravida. Good skin quality, no laxity.
