Will breast implants affect my body fat % results?
Styku Phoenix doesn't use the chest region to determine body fat %, so your chest shape will not affect the results.
Breast implants will not affect the Styku body fat % calculation because we don’t use the chest measurement to calculate body fat % for women. It could certainly impact another method of calculating body fat, though, and the results may be different in one of the other systems than in Styku’s, certainly. For example, the Jackson-Pollock method for determining body fat % via calipers uses a chest skinfold that could definitely be impacted by implants. The resulting caliper-based body fat % value would be different as a result.
