I Am 5' 6" and 117lbs Getting Silicone. Torn Between 300cc and 325cc. Dont Want Too Big! (photo)

A: Breast Implant Size

If you are considering 300cc's and 325 cc's I would recommend the 325cc's.  Any time women are vacillating between two similar sizes they will always wish they had used the larger size.  Just to put it in perspective, I can't remember using such small implants.  I have ladies try on implants, and most use between 400 and 500 cc's.  It doesn't look like you will be too big.

What Are The Health Risks Linked to Breast Implants.

I was inquiring about implants and really wanted to get them. However like most sensible people you will do your homework before jumping in head first. I have discovered alot of horror stories about womans health failing due to the breast enhancement. Alot of women showed extreme symptoms, such as hair loss, memory loss, lupus like symptoms, extreme fatigue, extreme joint pain, immune failure. Can you give me some insight as to why this happening and if there is a safe breast implant product?

A: Breast implant health risks

The silicone breast implant is the most extensively studied medical device on the market.  Years of study and statistical analysis were performed by several groups , including the FDA that showed there are no health risks to silicone implants.  There are pros and cons to using silicone implants but there is no known connection with the diseases and symptoms you have noted.  You should only do the procedure if you are comfortable with your choice.  I don't think anyone can tell you why this happens to some women, whether they have implants or not.

I'm 20 Years Old with One Child, I'm 5'6 and I Weight 153. What Size of Breast Implants Do I Need? (photo)

I'm 20 Years Old with One Child, I'm 5'6 and I Weight 153 Okay So my Question is What Size of Breast Implants Do I Need?

A: Implant size depends on your goals.

Hi Grace, you will need to determine how big you want to be.  You can get a lot of opinions as to an implant size but your opinion is the one that counts.  Work with a board certified plastic surgeon and try on implants to show him or her what size you like.  After you see the size of implant you like in your bra then you can get a better decision of the implant that you need.
