round breast implants before and after
welcome back. one of the most common questions that patients routinely ask is how to choose the right breast implant. how big you can go or what is the most appropriate implant for you. i have created a series of five videos that will explain step by step how to choose your breast implant. in this first video, we are going to discuss how to choose the breast implant diameter that is appropriate for you. we are not going to discuss anatomical-shape
implants, but round implants. round breast implants are almost circular in shape. the diameter of a round implant is the most important measurement; it measurement how wide the implant is if we draw a line through its center. implant size changes the body of the implant, so the larger the diameter of the implant, the more volume the implant will have.
so, what implant diameter will be the bestfor you? there is one basic measurement that you can do at home to determine this. this measurement is called the breast base, or the width of the breast. in this diagram, the yellow line shows the width of the breast. the width of the breast is measured from exactly where the breast starts, close to the midline, all the way to the side. so, you can take
a ruler and measure your breast base. the width of the implant you choose should be similar to your breast base measurement. for example, in this diagram you can see that the circle is the implant. the implant width should closely match the yellow line that indicates the breast base or breast width. once you have measured your breast width, you will have a clearer idea of the range of breast implant
dimensions that will fit your breast and chest anatomy. now we are going to use mentor implants as an example. they have a table with all the implant sizes. you can find the tables in my websites the address is linked under this video clip and in the description of this video below. i recommend that you print this table and use it while you watch the videos. the first thing you see at the top of the table is
whether the implant is silicone or saline. in this particular table, we have assumed that you decided on silicone implants, but the same concept applies to saline implants. in the next row, what is the implant profile? i will discuss this in the third video, but let’s assume that you choose a high-profile implant. now we will zoom this table. as you can see, there are three columns. on the left side is the implant volume.
then there is the implant diameter, and then there is the implant projection. don’t worry about the last one; let’s talk about the first two. let’s assume that you measured your breast diameter and the measurement is around 11.4 cm. remember, you can do this very easily with a ruler by measuring basically the width of your breast. once you have this number, you go to the table
that you downloaded from my website and look for the implant diameter that closely matches this number. for a diameter of 11.4, the implant that is recommended is a 325 cc implant. now, this is not necessarily an absolute number, since we can vary this volume. in this particular patient, we can go 50 cc to 75 cc in both directions; in othersthere may be a range of 250 cc to 400 cc. in this video, we have discussed the implant dimension
range that will closely match your breast diameter based on your anatomy and breast base. in the next video, we will talk about how to determine if you can add more volume beyond what is recommended for your breast based on your skin elasticity, desired look and desired cup size.
