650 cc implant

Usually for an A cup patient it is hard to get a large implant like that in to look good. That is a very large implant. You may want to go with something 1/2 or 2/3's that volumje first, and perhaps later on once the tissues have expanded go with a larger one. I could not be sure without an exam.

Breast Implant size

650 cc implants are quite large. It would be very helpful to see pictures of your chest or get an idea of what the base diameter of your breasts in centimeters is. Each sized implant has a given diameter (this depends on its volume and profile). For instance, a 350 cc moderate profile implant has a diameter of around 13.5 centimeters. A 650 will be much wider. If you breass base diameter is very wide, then you can tolerate the larger implant. If you are more narrow (i.e 12-14 cm)then the... more

Large Implants

I would consider an implant over 600cc as very large. In most patients this can carry an increased long term risk. Without photos and and examination it is difficult to say if that is too large for you. However, based on your height and weight, I would think that 650cc implant might work. A thoughful and skilled surgeon should never put an implant that is too large, simply to satisfy the patients size.

Big implant small breast cup

Thank you for your question. The actual volume of the implant is not as important as how that size matches up to your breast width. Given your height and weight even though you may have an 'A' cup breast size, the volume of your breasts presently is likely to be more than a woman who weighs 95 pounds and has an 'A' cup. You may well be able to accommodate a wider implant and the extra volume. I have a patient on whom I operated last year who weighs... more

Breast implant sizing

Thank you the question. I think the most important decision you make (when you have decided to proceed with breast augmentation surgery) is choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon whom you trust and can communicate with. Once you develop this trust and communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon the specifics of the operation (including the implant model and/or range of breast implant sizes) can be decided upon. You will find that each plastic surgeon has... more

Breast implant size

From your description, it sounds as though you are good candidate for 650cc implants. They are large and will give you much larger breasts, but if that's the look that you like than your request seems reasonable. Going underneath the muscle will help to "hide" the implants and give you a more natural look than if you went over the muscle. Good luck! Dr. Schreiber see video

Predicting Breast Implant Size Considers Numerous Factors

While there is no method to predict with absolute certainty as to what size and look a breast implant will create, you have obtained two pieces of information that are useful. You have 'tried' on the implants in the office and your plastic surgeon felt that they would fit most likely based on breast base diameter measurements. Putting those two assessments together should give you confidence that the size of 650cc may be right for you.

650CCs Too Big?

Hi GreenJello, Thanks for your question but it is one of those questions that there is just no way to answer it via this format. To determine what type of implants and what size is right for you requires photos, a consultation, and an exam from an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. When choosing a breast implant size, it is important to consider the dimensions of your breasts with the diameter of the base of your breasts being the most important measurement.... more

Are 650cc implants too large for me?

It is impossible to answer without knowing your dimensions and the compliance of your skin envelope. More important than implant volume are implant dimensions, the diameter, and projection, and how they align with your anatomy. Trying implants on in the surgeons office helps, as does pre surgical 3D simulation, such as the Axis Three device. If you have a broad chest, relaxed skin (e.g. post partum), and want to go up two or more cup sizes, 650cc probably not too large... more
