600 CC implants

600 cc implants are very large, especially if you are currently a B cup. However, without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice. Also, 600 cc for one person may be large, but just a drop in the bucket for a larger person. So, it really has to do with more than the size of the implant - the size of the patient, measurements, tissue thickness and quality all affect proper implant choice. Good Luck.

Silicone Implands, Breast Augmentation

600cc is considered a very large implant and not used as often as implants in the 300-450cc size range. Implant volumes do not correlate directly with cup size, it really depends on your ribcage size and overall body size and shape. Breast implants, just like real breast tissue, are not well supported and with time may create a drooping older look to the breast. It might be a good idea to apeak with more than one surgeon.

Is a 600 cc implant to big

You need to discuss with your surgeon what your desires are. Look on line for photos of women who start with your present size breasts and look for someone you like and what size they had placed. Personally for a straight augmentation 600 cc is too large for a woman starting with a b cup.

Breast augmentation surgery

It is difficult to answer your question because I don't know what your "goals" are. Clear communication with your plastic surgeon is important in achieving the desired goals of the patient. I like to communicate with patients with “goal” pictures. During surgery, I use temporary sizers to determine the size/profile that will give the patient the look she is looking for. Trying to predict the size of the implant preoperatively is not ideal. I... more

Breast implants should be matched to your chest and breast size

For optimal results after breast augmentation, it is important that the breast implant placed be matched to your chest and breast size. The relation of the width of the implant to the width and height of your breast is much more important than the actual volume that is chosen (although they are related). Do not be too focused on a specific volume; make sure that the breast implant "fits" you.

600 cc implants are BIG implants.

A 600cc implant is likely to make you much larger than a D cup. That is a very large implant. My recommendation is to see a few other board certified plastic surgeons to see what they recommend.

All the posted responses can only assume you might need a larger implant. But no photo was posted so very hard to advise.

600 cc implants are in general large implants. I rarely recommend that volume of implant for a breast augmentation.

Implant choice

What is the right size for you? 600 cc implants are quite large. I choose implants based upon the patient's anatomy and their goals of surgery.

When are Breast Implants Too Large

The size breast implant that your body will accomodate depends on the width of your breast base and the amount of available skin. Within these boundaries, your personal preferences are the most important factor. Having said that, 600cc silicone implants are very large for almost anybody although exceptions might exist. Although it involves a little guesswork without photos, if you fill out a B cup now, you should be able to reach a D cup without using such large implants. BE sure that you... more

How big is 600cc breast implant

Certainly a 600cc breast implant is a very large and full implant. Is it too big? That can depend on the look you wish for after breast augmentation. Consider that the 'average' breast augmentation is about 350cc, and the very full implant questions referred to on this site are in the 400 to 550cc range, usually HP. The 600cc is 'out there' and if you do not live in an area where augmentations are very large, think La Vegas, do your homework before you jump in. Best of... more

Breast implant sizing is important

A 600 cc implant is 'big' for any patient. Big implants cause problems. Consider seeking a second and third opinion and find a plastic surgeon that wants to help you achieve the 'look' that you are interested in.
