Why You Should Avoid Oversized Breast Implants for Your Frame

💡 Let's talk about breast surgery! 🩺

In the world of implants, there's a concept known as being "top-heavy" 🤯, where the implants might look too big for the patient’s frame. 🏋️♀️ But what does that mean?🔍

Most think it’s when the chest looks too big compared to the rest of the body. However, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes, even smaller implants can look oversized on certain frames! 🤷♀️👩🔬

So, what’s the secret? It’s all about matching the implant size to your frame! 🖼️ Specifically, let’s talk about:

- *Square frames* (short, wide torso) 📏

- *Rectangular frames* (long torso) 📐👙

The goal is to have the breast width proportionate to the chest width. Too small or too wide, and it looks off! 🚫⚖️

For implants, we’re dealing with circles where the width is close to the height. 🟠

Let’s visualize:

1️. On a long, rectangular torso: balanced and proportionate.

2️. On a short, square torso: suddenly looks too big and disproportionate. 😳📏

Adding more volume for projection can easily tip the scales, making it look even more top-heavy. ⚖️🔔

**Key Takeaway**: For square frames, a double D cup size is often the tipping point where it starts to look too large. ⚠️ Balance volume and projection to avoid this!
