Hi there, I'm looking at implant profiles and wondering if an implant is .2cm wider than my breast base width would make a noticeable difference compared to one that fits my base width exactly. Thanks!
Answer: Base width It is unlikely that 2mm will make much of a difference. But, with any changes to the implant profile and size, it is best to talk to your surgeon to see if it will work with your body and your goals. Hope that helps.

Answer: Implant The .2 cm difference will still fit your base. If you have a wide gap between your breasts, this will work well. If you are very narrow between your breasts, this might be too tight.

Answer: Breast width It is unlikely that a difference in width of 0.2cm will make much of a difference once the implant is in the body. It is always best though to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. She/He has had the opportunity to examine you and discuss your surgical goals.

Answer: Probably Okay While it’s difficult to say for sure without examining you, 0.2cm of difference should not be a major issue as long as your surgeon plans your pocket accordingly. It should also be less of an issue for someone with a base width of 13 compared to someone with a base width of 10 as the relative difference would be less.

Answer: What implant works best? Thanks for your question. The short answer to your question is: probably not. Implant choice is a tough part of breast augmentation. All plastic surgeons have different approaches to making the implant selection. For the most part, most such approaches are valid. My personal choice is to begin by size choice. You know how you want to look. You have to make the surgeon understand your preference. The use of breast and implant dimension is very important, but has to be made within the context of your desires. In my experience, three dimensional photographic simulation is often the best part of the consultation. Make sure that you are in synch with the surgeon you choose. Keep in mind that 0.2 cm is two millimeters, that's pretty small.
